Baidu??

[G. Lasagne]

Baidu is the worlds second largest search engine and is number 6 on the alexa ranking, now i know its chinese so probably isnt going to drive much targeted traffic but you never know.

Anyway to submit your site follow this link http://www.baidu.com/search/url_submit.html if after you press submit(the one after the captcha), it says success in the address bar, then its done, can take up to a month apparently to show up.

here is the english translation http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.baidu.com%0D%0A&sl=zh-CN&tl=en

#55 and 56 are about Baidu.

Interesting that they look further down the SERP page.

I just checked my personal site (never submitted it) and it's up there

Apparently you *must* submit to Yandex, however.

Only in America (30% share depending on which figures you look at)

Bing has about 5% in UK and <1% most other places.

Baidu gets 69% of search in China

Though of course, Google is borderline unavailable in China (you can access the Hong Kong version, but not always reliably) so I'm a little sceptical that it has even 28% of the market there.

As for why Baidu users read further down the page - well if you look at the results you'll quickly realise the reason! The algorithm is about 3-4 years behind Google/Bing and they don't separate organic and paid results very transparently....

Why you need promotion in Baidue. For that you need to write content in Chinese. Moreover, there is lot of censorship there.
