    • In China Baidu is getting about 10 million/day english search
  • I hope it increases bing's share of the search market, too early to tell if this will make a difference or not; maybe if we're lucky they will be able to give google's search monopoly some real competition.
  • Isn't baidu Google's biggest competitor in China? I don't know much about them, but I think I recall reading an article on how they're actually Google's biggest worldwide competitor. Not Bing.

    Hope this makes Bing more competitive. Google is gaining waaaay too much power.

      I have owned stock in Baidu (BIDU) since they first went public in the US.

      Baidu/China knocked the $hit out of Google Search in China, no joke! They literally ran them out of the country.

      Google thought they would be slick (fail) & setup shop in Japan, then redirect China search traffic in/out of Japan. China shut that $hit down again, lol.

      The monopoly that Baidu has on China search is massive! Baidu owns almost 80% of China search traffic.

      Before I invested any money into Baidu stock I was watching the news & how Google was pissing of the China Gov., I invested 50/50 on Both Baidu + Google. Baidu is up over 700% (not a typo), Google is lucky to break even. In fact I dumped Google stock about 2-3 months ago, very poor returns.

      China has the largest population on the planet, & Baidu owns that search traffic.

      Last I heard Baidu was looking at expanding search into surrounding Asian countries.

      The key to Baidu's success is the China Gov. they hate to let down their guard with foreign competition, they see the outside world as a threat to everything. They need that control, which only boost Baidu's strength in internet search.

      Another China stock to watch is SINA, it's kind of like yahoo.

  • Thanks for the overview yukon.

    • I believe Bing is getting ready to give some serious competition to Google

  • Baidu is growing rapidly because more and more chinese use internet

    There will be market saturation when 90%+ chinese use internet (don't know when), by that time the growth will stop

    If I have to put my money, I'll put where the best brains is, which is google

    Maybe people need entertainment (facebook), but people always need information (search)
  • Microsoft's search engine, Bing, will appear on Baidu search result pages by the end of the year. While Baidu dominates the Chinese search market, it has been recently trying to improve its English language search results.

    Microsoft&Baidu

    Today Microsoft signed a deal with the biggest Chinese search engine, Baidu, to offer Web search services in English. I believe this deal will be helpful for both Bing and Baidu. Definitely, It gonna increase Bing's search market share. what you say guys?
