Even if you operate in multiple countries there isn’t a clear answer on splitting up into local TLDs (top-level domains like .nl, .de, and .cn) versus working under a single generic TLD (like .com, .net, and .org).

For instance, if someone sitting in Beijing types "weather" (天气) into Baidu, the Chinese engine will serve up results of the weather in Beijing such as current weather conditions and forecast for the next few days through a partnership with...
For obvious reasons, sites with a .cn domain, which are hosted in China, get a significant boost by Baidu. Their largest Chinese search engine, Baidu, has more than 407 million users, with around 78 percent share of the total Chinese search users.
Baidu doesn’t do this and a site must both have a Chinese domain name (com.cn or .cn) and be hosted on a server physically located within the country. The main, U.S.focused google.com is the single most visited site, but various international...
The project is still officially declared as a beta offering, and was made available through the Google.cn site on September 13. Google is launching a deal search service known as Google Shihui (shihui means “timely benefit”).
In number theory, Fermat's Last Theorem states that no three positive integers a, b, and c can satisfy the equation an + bn = cn for any integer value of n greater than two. When you scroll over Google's latest Doodle honoring 17th century...
This becomes apparent when Youku launched its specialized video search engine Soku in May, that allows users to search for video files under its network as well as from 10 other video sites in China such as Tudou, Qiyi, Sohu, Sina, 56.com and joy.cn.
Other sites include Joyo Amazon and brands like Gap.cn and Lining (one of China's largest sports apparel brand). Alibaba Groups's Etao, a vertical shopping search engine in China, made headlines when it launched last October by using Microsoft's...

The site should be hosted in China: While it isn't a requirement to have a .cn domain or be hosted in China, it is a strong recommendation. SEMPO's APAC Working Group has been promoting their upcoming webinar about targeting Baidu for the past few...
The dust has settled and my phone has gone to about normal after Google's decision to divert its traffic from the previously censored google.com.cn (and its ultra cool g.cn) to the uncensored Hong Kong Google site.
The move is to redirect anyone coming to Google.cn to Google.com.hk where they can get access to non censored content. Figuring out how to make good on our promise to stop censoring search on Google.cn has been hard.
As a result, Google plans to stop censoring Google.cn search results, potentially ceasing to operate in China altogether. Google made a considerable revelation last week, announcing that it was hit with a targeted and sophisticated cyber attack...
Many in the West reacted negatively when Google kowtowed to the Chinese government's demands to censor its Chinese search engine Google.cn. At the time Google said that it would monitor conditions in the country and make adjustments in policy as...
