Lack of interest Baidu sitemap submission.

[ShikiSuen]

A Simplified-Chinese site is likely to be d-e-a-d in the MCG-Circle if not catched by Baidu at all.

However, it appears that Baidu till now cannot retrieve sitemaps pushed by XenForo. At least, in most case, only homepages are searchable through Baidu.

Maybe I need to state how Baidu retrieves automatic sitemap submission.

First, the sitemaster needs to register at https://ziyuan.baidu.com/linksubmit and add his website to this portal.
After that, you get a token address (which does not contain any "sitemap.php" string):
http://data.zz.baidu.com/urls?site=https://xenforo.com/community&token=TESTSITETOKEN

Sample PHP pushing code sending sitemap.php contents to Baidu:

$urls = array(
    'https://xenforo.com/community/sitemap.xml',
);
$api = 'http://data.zz.baidu.com/urls?site=https://xenforo.com/community&token=TESTTOKEN';
$ch = curl_init();
$options =  array(
    CURLOPT_URL => $api,
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => implode("\n", $urls),
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: text/plain'),
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;

Sample PHP pushing using POST:

POST /urls?site=http://data.zz.baidu.com/urls?site=https://xenforo.com/community&token=TESTTOKENHTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.12.1
Host: data.zz.baidu.com
