Baidu Dominating Chinese News Search
Baidu is still the leader in Chinese News search by the end of June 2007 with 69.3% in total search market share.
Sogou’s news search took over Netease (163.com) in late Q2 to become second.
Google China also had a significant increase in Q2, despite the decrease of search market share of its English site. The increase may have to do with Google’s localization strategy in China, in which different versions of Google China News have been launched.
