1. Boost your content with your sitemap ! Make sure your pages, articles and products, even the latest, are taken into consideration by search engines !
Better Robots.txt plugin was made to work with Yoast SEO plugin (probably the best SEO Plugin for WordPress websites) and ANY other sitemap generator. It will detect if you are currently using Yoast SEO (if the sitemap feature is activated) or if any other sitemap is available on your website.
If yes, then it will add automatically instructions in the Robots.txt file asking bots/crawlers to read it and check if you have made recent changes in your website (so that search engines can index the new content).
If you want to add your own sitemap (or if you are using another SEO plugin), then you just have to copy-paste the Sitemap URL (mywebsite.com/sitemap.xml) and Better Robots.txt will add it to your Robots.txt file.

Baidu Webmaster tools Get your website listed on the most popular search engine in China (640 millions users)
As you may be aware, China is home to a huge chunk of the world’s population (over 1.4 billion). And any chance to get your content in front of an audience that size is clearly worth exploring.
The problem is that Google is almost nonexistent in China, holding only a tiny portion of the search engine market share (3.1%) in the country. Therefore, if your website is not listed on most popular search engines (like Baidu.com), you are invisible to potential Chinese customers.
