Column setting up a "skeleton" for the website
Step 1: Planning first. The column setting of the website is the most important step at the beginning of the website building, because once the column is determined, the positioning of the website will be basically taken. If it is modified after operating for a period of time, it will cause many losses, such as the loss of target visitors and search. Reduced engine weight, etc. Therefore, when establishing a website column, you must think carefully and plan it first before adding it.
Step 2: Exam more. After confirming the column you want to add, you must first check whether this type of column is welcomed by netizens. Think about it, when you build a column carefully maintain and update every day, but no one cares about it due to positioning deviations. Wouldn't it be a waste of time ?The first way to understand visitors’ hobbies is to examine other similar websites for inspiration. In addition, you can also gain attention in a certain field through the search engine rankings to determine the positioning of the column. For example, Baidu's Fengyun List is a good tool (Figure 1).
Step 3: Establish positioning. There will be different column positioning in the same field. For example, if you are planning to create a column about notebook information, should you introduce the latest information about the notebook industry, or provide software downloads for notebooks, or notebook shopping guide services? The column positioning must also be Pay attention to the consistency with the website. For example, the example in this article is an IT information website, and the positioning is the news content of the notebook.
Use clever collection of website content quickly
In the early stages of website establishment, there is often a lack of articles, and without content, it is impossible to retain visitors. To quickly obtain high-quality content, we can reprint it from other websites. Here we take digital connections as an example to quickly reprint the above article on our website. "Locomotive Collector" is a convenient and practical content collection program that supports the collection of remote articles and pictures. Let's use this software as an example to illustrate it below.
Tip: Since the software is based on the .NET program architecture, you must install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 component before use, otherwise the program will not run normally.
Step 1: Create a site to add rules
Download the software and unzip it to use it. Right-click in the task list panel to create a new collection site, and then enter the site name, URL and other information in the pop-up site creation window. Then switch to the software's "Whole Site Content Rules" page, which is the most important step in collecting. If there is a slight incorrect setting, an error may occur. For general article transfers, we need to fill in basic information including title, content, and time (Figure 2).
To determine the content rules of a web page, you can open the content page that needs to be collected, select "View → Source Code" in the browser to view the HTML code of the web page, and look for the title field in the code. If the title start mark is, then the tag in the software Enter these two fields in the edit box. Then search and add the article content, author, source, time and other marks in the same way. Generally, we need to view and check multiple article pages to avoid label errors.
If you need to collect other information on the web page at the same time, you can click the "Add Tag" button to add the collection object. The software not only supports data acquisition, but also sets data in a fixed format.
Tip: When adding data rules for the first time, you may find it difficult to operate, but just try a few more times and carefully study the software documentation, and you can easily write data rules after understanding the principles.
Step 2: Establish a collection task
Right-click on the site name you just added and select the "Create a new task from this site" option. The collection URL menu will appear. The software provides three URL collection modes. If the target website has corresponding article list pages, the "level 1 link" method can be used. The principle of this method is to automatically detect the content page through the content list page, thereby collecting web page content. .
If the target URL file name has certain rules, we can also directly add the content page URL that needs to be collected. Here we use the news column of digital connections as an example to illustrate http://news.shudoo.com/. Its list page is http://news.shudoo.com/index.php?limitstart=16. Let's go You can enter this address directly.
After the task is added, you can conduct a test first. Click the "Start Test URL Collection" button at the bottom right of the software to enter the test page. The software will collect it according to the URL rules just filled in. After the address search is completed, you can select any article for testing. If the software can display the content of the collected page normally, it means that the collection rules are set successfully; if the content cannot be displayed, the rules need to be set again (Figure 3).
Step 3: Collect and publish content
After completing the above steps, you also need to set up a publishing method for collecting content. The software currently provides a variety of content publishing methods. It can be published directly to the website program or saved as a local file. If you want to publish it directly to a website program, you need to have a corresponding program publishing module. The software comes with several program modules, including most popular article systems. If there are no modules we need, you can search in the official software forum.
After the settings are completed, you can collect articles and publish them to the website. Select the name of the website you want to collect in the main panel of the software, and then click the Start button above the panel. The software will automatically collect content. If there is a lot of content to be collected, you need to wait a long time. After all articles are collected, the content will be automatically published. http://it.endto.com/hulianwang-news/ is a demonstration example we collected through the locomotive software.

Note: Although the collection software can easily obtain a large number of articles, you must pay attention to copyright when using it, and indicate the source for some articles that are allowed to be reproduced.
