About two years ago, a client from Ukraine approached me through this SEO blog and wanted me to help him optimize his Chinese blog-based website on programming to improve its rankings in Baidu. His website domain name had not been registered long ago and the content was highly similar to many long-standing blogs that can be easily found on Baidu, so I wasn’t too optimistic about his website’s ranking prospects in the short term. I told him this, of course, and said that if he insisted on doing SEO, it would certainly help, but we should pay as much attention to details as possible, just don’t expect to rank highly in the short term.
