I thought the blog subscribers might be interested in knowing that Free Language is rising considerably in the Chinese search engine Baidu. See the screenshot below to get an idea of how much traffic is coming in from this search engine, which peaks at off hours for Google.com because it is on the other side of the world!
Well, at least according to an independent Japanese research firm (Video Search). According to their report, Baidu is now ranked fourth, trailing Yahoo Softbank (market leader), Google and MSN.

Baidu Inc. officially announced plans to launch a new instant messaging service that will compete with existing services, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, MSN Live Messenger, AIM, and ICQ. Baidu currently dominates the Chinese search market and is aggressively expanding into other areas. The new messaging service will be named Baidu Hi when it is released.
Shares of China's search engine company, Baidu, soared on Wednesday, after speculation that the company may have acquired Web browser company Maxthon. Maxthon's web browser is currently used by nearly 10 million users in China.
Baidu has been rumored to preparing the launch it’s own IM software. As the leading search engine in China and considering the extensive online properties it owns, Baidu has the potential to establish itself very quickly as a player to count on in this very competitive market.

There are certain businesses I always have trouble understanding.
I remember many years ago my firm was representing a Korean internet company in its U.S. venture capital deals. Money was flowing in to this company from the Korea, the United States and Japan and everyone was telling me I was crazy to allow them to pay us by the hour, rather than requiring they give us an equity stake. “Equity stake,” I would tell people, I still do not understand what their product does or how it will ever make any money. The dot.com bubble burst and this company very quickly ran through its millions and is no more.
My friend Lonnie Hodges (you all know Lonnie, he’s the guy behind the late great China Bandwidth blog) had been telling me for months about his China internet business, CultureFish, and I just was not getting it. Then when he told me of one huge American technology company that had retained Culture and how another was on the verge of doing so, I decided I had to kn
A deal has been signed by Baidu, the leading search engine in China, and the Mozilla Foundation, owner of the Firefox web browser. Baidu will be paying Mozilla for integrating its search tools in the Chinese version of the Firefox browser.
Although that deal is very similar to the one Mozilla has with Google in the US, the impact is unlikely to be that important considering the tiny share Firefox hold in the Chinese browsing market (less than 2%). Things may change however if Baidu puts together some kind of promotion for the IE rival through its search properties…
A new service from Baidu targets large corporations for increased brand awareness. The Brand Advertising Program will provide a prominent listing for advertisers, with multiple links and even graphic ads.
Gome (国美), the largest consumer electronics store and China Construction Bank (中国建设银行), one of the top 4 banks in China, have joined the program and you can expect more large players to get involved as well very soon. Financial conditions for participating into this program have not been revealed.
A search on Baidu for “建行” (”jianhang” the short-name of CCB) provides the picture below.
The Chinese search engine giant, Baidu, has just launched a new service called Baidu Finance (百度财经).
Modeled after Google Finance, Baidu Finance offers links and information about China and Hong Kong stocks, mutual funds, bonds, trusts and other financial products. Real-time stock quotes and charts, listed companies news and more are also available. Of course, Baidu has leveraged on its web properties by linking to its user-generated contents, Baidu News and other services as well.
An English version is available, but still very basic and would need huge improvement to even come close to what is provided by Google or Yahoo.
Baidu Finance is still in beta mode. It can be accessed from the following link: stock.baidu.com
In recent development, Google has gone and registered G.CN in their bid to fight Baidu in China. Baidu is the Chinese search engine and portal and Google has struggled to break into the Chinese market because of them in the past.
Surprise....
The world's third biggest search engine is now a regional search engine: http://baidu.com . The large number of Chinese internet users have made Baidu, the Chinese language search engine surpass Microsoft and rank the third in the global internet search business, according to the report newly released by ComScore, a well-known global Internet information provider. At the same time, South Korea's NHN has taken fifth place. Microsoft slipped into fourth place. It is the first time that Microsoft has fallen out of top three in this field.
Google dominates the search world with 37 billion of searches on August. Yahoo ranked second, with 8.5 billion searches. Microsoft Sites, which include MSN, came fourth, while Korea’s NHN Corporation, which owns Naver.com, took fifth sport.
Reports have surfaced that China is redirecting traffic from foreign search engines operated by Google, Microsoft and Yahoo to homegrown Baidu.com.According to various reports online, some online users in China attempting to access Google.com, Microsoft's Live.com and Yahoo.com search sites have been redirected to China-based Baidu.com.Blog site TechCrunch reported that Chinese traffic to Google's blog search engine was being rerouted to Baidu. TechCrunch later published another article saying a similar situation was observed with the other two search giants.Vivian Wong, a manager at CB Richard Ellis in Shanghai, said visits to the three search engines showed Baidu's home page instead.Beijing-based David Feng wrote in his blog on Thursday that he was able to gain access to both Google and Yahoo, but not Microsoft's Live.com or Yahoo-owned search engine AltaVista.However, Ori Elraviv, chief executive of Dragon Ports in Beijing, said he had no problems getting through to the sites.

No hay nada como jugar en casa, y eso es lo que está haciendo Baidu, mientras que Google en China se tiene que adaptar a las duras leyes del país, Baidu se aprovecha para hacer básicamente lo que quiere dentro del país.
Reno Peng, un desarrollador de China que ocasionalmente escribe algo en Twitter (cuando el Internet de su país le deja), ha descubierto que en su oficina cuando en el navegador escribe la dirección blogsearch.google.com, con una conexión de Internet proporcionada por la empresa china de comunicaciones NetCom el resultado es que le manda directamente al buscador Baidu…
No se sabe si este “robo” de trafico afecta a toda china o solamente a aquellos usuarios que tengan los servicios de Internet bajo la empresa NetCom, pero para el caso, casi es lo mismo, ya que NetCom es la segunda empresa más grande de telecomunicaciones del país…

According to a report from Xinhua news agency, Baidu trails Google when it comes to mobile search in the middle Kingdom.
That’s one of the rare areas where Google has established its predominance in China, a market where its reach beyond first tier cities is pretty limited and one of the few countries in the world where the global leader finds itself in an underdog position (in this case, No2 behind Baidu). Google’s position in mobile search is certainly due to the company’s deal with the major telephony operator China Mobile, while Baidu has so far been in partnership with handset manufacturers only (Nokia).
Mobile search is believed to have a bright future in China, which boosts 5.5 million wireless internet users, of which 4.43 actively use mobile services. But the true potential of this market will not be fully unleashed before the authorities make a final decision regarding the controversial 3G standards.
Sinovantage International is proud to announce its new Google Adwords Management Services and Baidu Advertising Program packages for clients in China and worldwide.
The new packages are a major upgrade from the company’s previous offerings, and will contribute in reaching objectives of providing the best search marketing services for the Chinese market.
The new Google Adwords Management Services will cater mostly to the advertising needs of foreign-owned companies in Shanghai and other cities in China where Sinovantage has a growing customer base (Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shenzhen and Guangzhou). It will help new advertisers to unleash the marketing power of Google Adwords towards building their brand awareness, website traffic and sales volume while keeping track on their investment. For clients already self-managing their own accounts, they will find in Sinovantage the professional assistance they have always needed for turning their previously unsatisfactor

Based on the latest search engine survey report by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), three searchers out of four searchers in China use Baidu as their primary search engine. This represent over 10% growth over last year results (62%). According to the same report, Google share has also changed by about 10% but on the red side, sharply decreasing from 25.3% to 14.3% over a one year period.
Below are some of the key statistics from the report:
-Top 5 Players: Baidu (74.5%), Google (14.3%), Sohu (2.8%), Yahoo (2.1%) and Sina (1.7%). No other portal has more than 0.6%
-Head to head Baidu vs Google: First tier cities: 67.33% vs 22.11%; Second tier cities: 73.35% vs 14.78%; Third tier cities: 83.82% vs 4.99%; high end users (aged 25 or more, with bachelor degree or more, earning 3,000RMB or more per month): 47.72% vs 42.32%
The study has been done primarily through telephone interview, with 3337 people contacted, of which 1212 in first tier cities, 1062 in second tier c
Jim Cramer has only recently remained bullish on Baidu.com (BIDU) as the price of the stock hit 128 in May 2007. He has commonly rejected owning Chinese stocks, instead recommending high quality American companies that benefit from the growth of the Chinese economy, but Baidu.com (BIDU) has become too hot to ignore. Cramer briefly went positive on Baidu.com in a January 2007 lightning round when he stated, "True confession time. I have been itching to buy this BIDU, to recommend it on the show. I keep waiting for a down day. It is killing me. I am right now sanctioning a small buy in BIDU right here, praying that it will come down so I can say buy, buy, buy on the show. You've got a winner."
Soon after on 2/9/2007, he correctly predicted that the stock would trade dramatically lower after reporting the quarter's earnings. Disappointing Q1 earnings plus a worldwide selloff that originated in China brought the stock as low as 94, giving the confident investor a gift-like entry point
According to some insider,s Baidu may soon enter the fast-growing online gaming market, with the founder of one of the leading online game sites joining the company recently.
If that was to happen, Baidu could leverage its leading position in search and the Internet market in general to pose a threat to current market leaders, if it can release games that could match what is already available.
Baidu has started selling video advertisement through its network of 150,000 partner sites in China. The new service basically will promote floating, embedded or inserted video ads through those partners websites. The official name is Baidu TV and it will provide three additional services: video business card, business video hosting and search video (similar to Google Adwords’ video ads format).
At this point we do not know exactly how many of sites will be involved in this new scheme, the conditions these sites have to meet, or the profit-sharing terms.
Probably a move to remind Google China, who has been very active recently through acquisitions and new products launching, of who is the real “LaoDa” in the Chinese search market.

SUSQ, which earlier in the week started coverage on the company with a positive rating, has noticed the news that Kingsoft received VC funding from JAFCO, one of the largest Japanese VC firms. SUSQ says the implications are 2 fold: That perhaps cultural challenges of China based BIDU's planned expansion into Japan may not stop BIDU from being successful. SUSQ however also notes that BIDU will need to invest enormous amounts of money and time to generate positive cash flows from Japan.
One thing I've learned from the awesome option pros who are Jon and Pete Najarian at Optionmoster.com is to keep an eye on options trading volume vs open interest. One that's caught my eye today is more than 6-thousand March 125 BIDU puts that traded today against open interest of just over 1-thousand contracts. That's a curious purchase because of how deep in the money those puts are (stock at $105) and for its cost. 6000 contracts at about $20 each is $12 mln worth of options. It's intriguing given the time frame - expiration on these March puts is next week. Incidentally, there was no matching volume on the call side, or in other months; so no evidence of a time spread or straddle.In addition, over 2000 April 105 puts traded today against open interest of 667 contracts. hmmm.
Sometimes beating earnings just isn't good enough. If you owned Baidu.com (BIDU) going into earnings today you know what that means. BIDU posted EPS of $0.37, $0.10 better than the $0.27 estimate. Revenues beat also at $30.3 million, but not by as wide of a margin with consensus revenues at $30.2 million. The revenue guidance was the disappointment with the company saying $34 million to $35 million was expected, but consensus is $36.25 million.
The sad thing is that this was the springloaded year, because its revenues were up 170% year-over-year and earnings were up essentially tenfold.
The street was already nervous ahead of the report, because shares of BIDU were down 9%, or -$8.72, to $87.28. Shares are down another -4.2% to $83.65 in after-hours trading. Its 52-week trading range is $44.44 to $96.67, although it looks like shortly after the open today it had traded as high as $99.00.
BIDU still carries a triple-digit P/E on a trailing basis. If you use the $83.65 after-hours price
