Baidu Inc. (BIDU) is a Chinese language Internet search provider. Baidu.com is the leading search engine in China with a market share of 61.6% as of June 2009. BIDU introduced phonetic search, a feature that allows users to type in Chinese keywords using the English alphabet. BIDU offers a wide range of services beyond the basic search engine.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"BIDU has benefitted from growing Internet usage rates in China. The number of Internet users in China reached 338 million as of June 30, 2009, a 13.4% increase from the end of 2008, according to China Internet Network Information Center-a government affiliated web research organization.

"In April 2009, in response to criticisms that the Baidu search engine did not clearly differentiate advertisements from organic search results, the Company launched a new advertising system known as Phoenix Nest. The new system differentiates paid advertisements from search results and offers advertisers new tools to track returns on their investment."
