Baidu Now becomes worlds Third largest search engine

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.

Oh my God,i have never heard dis word also,den how it became 3rd largest. Hmmm... I consider Google always mY NO.1. Yo. No one can just take its position.

Microsoft is the third before. This is the first time when Microsoft comes down under third position. The search engine Baidu.com is Chinese search engine. The search engine is using only by regional citizens. Also the fifth position is taken by a Korean search engine. Every statistics are based on the August search statistics.

It's true that if you consider the number of users Baidu is the third largest search engine but there's a trick. As you said, it's the third because of the great number of chinese people using it. It's true, China is a big country but this doesn't mean that Baidu is a popular search engine. It's not used worldwide. Only in China. So, unless your main target is China, I don't think Baidu is that great or important
