Baidu has invested heavily in originality detection, partly because content scraping is endemic in the Chinese web.
How it is assessed
- Which version was published and crawled first.
- Site history and whether the domain has original material generally.
- Structural similarity to existing indexed content.
Practical protection
Publish, then submit immediately through the push API so your version is the first Baidu sees. On a slow-crawled site the scraper can be indexed first.
Comment nous l'appliquons
Immediate submission on publish is genuine protection here, not a formality. We have seen scraped copies outrank originals purely because the scraper’s site was crawled more frequently.
