DonCachopo Posted June 10, 2016 at 06:34 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 at 06:34 PM Hi everyone. I've some projects in mind, and some doubts related with online positioning. Speaking about Google: As long as I know, it's not possible to use hanzi characters in the web address. - If I had the pinyin in my url, would my web earn presence on the searches? Example: my web is mianbao.com . When anyone searches for 面包， will my site win points to escalate positions in the results list? - should I deal with the word 面包 as I would do with any Roman-alphabet keyword? Is Google engine able to distinguish hanzi and its layout and frequency in a page? Besides Google, is there any big difference with SEO in baidu? Is there any good guide? Thanks, and sorry for my bad English Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilande Posted June 10, 2016 at 10:23 PM Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 at 10:23 PM Don't ask me about the specifics, but it's possible to have hanzi in the URL. This page for instance does: http://増殖難読漢字辞典.com/ Sure it's in Japanese but I don't see why it would be different for hanzi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted June 11, 2016 at 02:17 AM Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 at 02:17 AM I believe it's now possible to use any Unicode code point (including Hanzi) in a url, but it's very uncommon and probably not a great idea. At the least you'd want to have the pinyin equivalent point to your site as well. As far as SEO goes, I don't think urls are given much weight. When you search "bread", is the first result "bread.com"? Besides Google, is there any big difference with SEO in baidu? Is there any good guide? Yes, there's a huge difference. Search for the same string (even if it's comprised of Hanzi) in both Baidu and Google and you'll see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted June 11, 2016 at 06:20 AM Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 at 06:20 AM It's sort of possible, but actually the url does not contain Hanzi. Instead you create a regular ascii-based domain name using punycode, and then browsers will convert chinese characters to punycode and then load that domain. E.g. the actual domain name for the site above is: http://xn--i6q76ommckzzzfez63ccihj7o.com/ Search for the same string (even if it's comprised of Hanzi) in both Baidu and Google and you'll see what I mean. Baidu has (or at least had) paid search rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
