【SEO案例分享】CNN如何做到在2024年美国选举相关搜索中霸占排名
1. Publish New URLs Every Day
每天发布新网址
CNN knows that they won’t be appear in Google’s Top Stories without publishing a completely new URL. Google really only shows pages that have been posted in the last 24 hours, so CNN needs to publish new URLs every day in order to maintain consistent visibility.
CNN 知道如果不发布一个全新的URL,就无法出现在 Google 的热门新闻中。Google 真的只显示在过去 24 小时内发布的页面,因此 CNN 需要每天发布新的 URL 以保持持续的可见性。
Just as an example, here you can see pages that they’ve published from the past three days:
仅作为一个例子,在这里你可以看到他们在过去三天发布的页面:
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-15-24/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-14-24/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-13-24/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-15-24/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-14-24/index.html
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-election-10-13-24/index.html
2. Include Dates In URLs
在网址中包含日期
In order to send even more freshness signals, CNN includes today’s date directly in the URL for all of their pages. This includes adding the month, day and year (10-15-24) in every new page they publish.
为了发送更多的新鲜信号,CNN 在其所有页面的 URL 中直接包含发布时当天的日期。这包括在他们发布的每个新页面中添加月份、日期和年份(10-15-24)。
This is actually result of using a special type of schema called LiveBlogPosting. LiveBlogPosting tells search engines that you’re going to make updates to the content throughout the day.
这实际上是使用一种特殊类型的结构化数据,叫做 LiveBlogPosting 的结果。LiveBlogPosting 告诉搜索引擎你将在一天内对内容进行更新。
There’s a lot that goes into this but I’ve actually written a full guide on how to implement LiveBlogPosting schema. Using this schema type is basically mandatory to appear in Top Stories for highly competitive keywords.
这其中涉及很多内容,但我实际上已经写了一份关于如何实施LiveBlogPosting schema的完整指南 https://moz.com/blog/live-blog-posting-schema 。使用这种模式在高度竞争的关键词中出现在头条新闻中基本上是强制性的。
4. Regular Content Updates
定期内容更新
Throughout the day, CNN regularly makes updates to the content of their page. In fact, they’re probably making 40-50 updates to their hub pieces every single day.
在一天中,CNN 定期更新他们页面的内容。事实上,他们每天可能会对他们的中心内容进行 40-50 次更新。
Also each update in their article also has a timestamp associated with it.
此外,他们文章中的每次更新也都有一个相关的时间戳。
6. High-Quality Relevant Image:
高质量相关图像:
This sounds basic but the Top Stories algorithm may be really dependent on either images or CTR for success. As a result, a requirement for doing well is having a high quality image that represents the overall topic. CNN always uses a crystal clear image, generally a headshot of one of the candidates.
这听起来很基础,但热门故事算法可能真的依赖于图像或点击率(CTR)来取得成功。因此,表现良好的一个要求是拥有一张高质量的图像,能够代表整体主题。CNN 总是使用一张清晰的图像,通常是候选人的头像。
7. Links From Home Page
首页链接
In order to ensure that the page is crawled and indexed immediately, they always incorporate a link from the home page. On the home page, they have a list of trending topics with links to their stories (Election 2024, Walgreens Closures etc).
为了确保页面能够立即被爬取和索引,他们总是从主页中加入一个链接。在主页上,他们有一个热门话题的列表,并附有相关故事的链接(2024年选举、沃尔格林关闭等)。
This ensures that they’re most powerful page is always linking to the key content.
这确保了他们最强大的页面始终链接到关键内容。
