Things have been a little quiet around here for a few months. Our users know this is a bit unusual, given the aggressive new feature release schedule they’re used to from us. But we haven’t been slacking off – we’ve been working on something really big.
Today, we’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of what is undoubtedly our biggest new feature release ever. It’s called Baidu Research, and provides users with instant access to a massive ranking database of over 3 million keywords (more added soon!).
We typically don’t like to hype too much, but this is by far the most proud of anything we’ve ever done. Put simply, if you do SEO on Baidu this is the tool you’ve been looking for. It’s an industry first – no other tool on the market has anything that can rival the analysis that Dragon Metrics can bring for organic search research on Baidu.
Just type in your site or a competing site’s domain to instantly receive a huge in-depth analysis, including:
You can also type in a keyword for a complete analysis of everything you could want to know about the keyword. Including:
For the first time ever, Baidu SEO is now in the hands of non-Chinese international marketers. All keywords have been translated into English, and available right next to the Chinese keywords inside the tool. Now, anyone without any knowledge of Chinese or Baidu can type in their domain and instantly understand who their main competitors are, which types of keywords they’re ranking for, and which ones are lagging behind.
There’s so much packed into this new update, there’s really not enough space to talk about it all. So I’ll focus on some of my favorite parts very briefly.
You don’t need to wait for data to be collected – just type in a domain and it’s available instantly.
See the top 50 competitors for each site battling for the same rankings and traffic. You can then do a quick search on any of these sites to see their ranking keywords, competing sites, backlinks, etc.
See how many backlinks a site has, which backlinks are their most valuable, the top landing pages on the site, top anchor texts used to link to the site, and more. Browse a complete list of sites’ backlinks and spy on competitor strategies.
See which parts of a site are working, and which ones aren’t. Get an in-depth view on which URLs, subdomains, or directories are getting the most organic traffic and keyword rankings on each site.
We developed a detailed, proprietary algorithm that can determine how difficult it will be to rank organically on page 1 for each keyword on Baidu. Incredibly useful in determining which keywords to target via SEO.
We keep track of which sites are getting the highest rankings and most organic traffic on Baidu. We also keep track of which keywords have the highest search volume. Browse each list, and click on any result to get a deeper analysis.
Baidu Research is being launched in beta for now. While we’ve got just about all of the bugs out, we’re going to be adding a ton more features in the following months. Be prepared for an even bigger keyword database, the ability to view a domain or keyword’s performance over time, and even more deep analysis tools for every domain in our database.
