What is Baidu Weight(BW in short form)? Like Domain Authority of Google, Baidu also has an indicator to quantify the performance and potential of a website. And just as Domain Authority is not recognized by Google officially, Baidu Weight is just a 3rd party indicator by Chinaz.com and Aizhan.com.

For almost all new websites, their BW is 0. If properly managed, it could grow to 1 in several months and reach 2 in a year. But if you want to take it to the next level, it requires many more resources.
For most business websites, the BW of 1 is enough to compete and 2 would be a plus. However, if the business is very competitive, let’s just say even 4 might not be good enough.
