Chinese Search Engines Ranked Top 10
Two of the Chinese search engines (Baidu.com and Alibaba.com) reached top 10 in terms of worldwide search market share in December 2007, according to a recent report by ComScore.
1. Google Sites - 62.4%
2. Yahoo! Sites - 12.8%
3. Baidu.com Inc - 5.2%
4. Microsoft Sites - 2.9%
5. NHN Corporation - 2.4%
6. eBay - 2.2%
7. Time Warner Network - 1.6%
8. Ask Network - 1.1%
9. Yandex - 0.9%
10. Alibaba.com Corporation - 0.8%
Baidu.com and Alibaba.com captured 3.4 billion searches and 531 million searches respectively in December. The top 10 do not only consist of the ‘traditional’ search engines, as eCommerce search engines in B2C (e.g. eBay) and B2B (e.g. Alibaba.com) sectors are also in the list. This may mean users rely greatly on doing search queries via eCommerce search engines, and therefore these vertical search engines should take the opportunities to invest to further improve their search engine usabilities and search result relevance.
In December 2007, 66.2 billion search queries were conducted worldwide. Baidu.com Inc was the third ranked search property worldwide with 3.4 billion searches, capturing 5.2 percent of worldwide search share.
