Baidu is a great company with a tremendous jump on the all important Chinese market - all of which is explained in full in this article. I got to say though, while Baidu deserves their success and worldwide acclaim as the traffic kings of Chinese search, they have also benefited from a number of dubious advantages mainly centered around governmental assistance and free MP3 downloads. I strongly believe that if you were to strip out the traffic generated by people looking to download free MP3s, Baidu's share of the market would drop dramatically. My two cents.
