30%-50% Traffic To Existing Chinese Video Sites Is From Baidu, CEO of Baidu’s Qiyi Said.

Posted by Gang Lu on February 27, 2010 · Filed Under China Web2

Is Chinese online video service getting more complicated or more clear? as Gary Wang, CEO of Tudou predicted, the threat would eventually come from the big guys. Qiyi, Baidu’s online video service is about to launch in March. With $50 millions investment confirmed, the reason for Baidu launching Qiyi is simple, as Gong Yu, director of Qiqi said to a Chinese media: 30%-50% traffic to existing Chinese video sites is driven from Baidu.

Not interested in UGC

Qiyi will be following Hulu’s model. The User-Generated Content (UGC) is not something we are interested in at all, Gong Yu said. Qiyi will focus on High-Definition, Copyrighted video content and the revenue will be from the video-advertisement. Gong said to Sina, “we are developing a powerful advertisement publishing system which will allow us to deploy proper ads according to the user’s profile, such as location, gender, income etc.”

Who is the competitors

“We are not competing with any of existing online video service in China,” Gong said, “although some of them are trying Hulu’s model as well.” Sites like Tudou, Youku, Sohu Video etc started with UGC but recently also spent millions of money on buying licenced content. “It is very difficult to operate the service in both models (UGC and Hulu), and it must have business focus.” when Gong is asked who will be competitor, Gong said, “probably Tencent, it has not really joined this market though.”

Qiyi has around 90 staff (1/3 of which were actually working for other video sites) and plan to recruit 200 more in near year. In March when it is launched, it is expected to host +1,000 licensed movies, +1,000 TV series along with thousands-hours long cartoon, documentary, TV programs etc and some of the content will be exclusive.

We are waiting… waiting for Qiyi’s official launch and waiting for the response from other giants, such as Tencent…

The super footwear made in Australia has swept this country by storm.

However, along with great popularity, as Hollywood stars of all ages have been seen wearing these comfortable shoes, also comes super high prices.UGG classic short boot

By a quick Internet search, you will be able to find extremely discounted shoes, slippers, and boots that are a fraction of their steep original sales price.

Finding a pair of uggs at discount boots websites is not difficult, and a quick and easy search will save you a great deal of money.

When searching for uggs on discount boots websites, first consider the website itself. If the site is offering shoes, slippers, or boots at too good of a price, be warned--they might be counterfeit!

Given how baidu discriminates against competitors in other categories, such as always promoting Baike in results over sites like Hudong.com, what happens to sites like youku and tudou if baidu puts qiyi ahead of all of them/filters out their results for common results?

Gang Lu

that's very good point, bbishop. Thank you!

that's also the reason that i titled this post "30%-50% Traffic To Existing Chinese Video Sites Is From Baidu" to imply the real threat to its competitors.
