China’s Baidu.com 4th quarter income grows fivefold
Baidu.com, China’s leading search engine, reported a fivefold increase in fourth quarter net income as online marketing revenue more than doubled. China’s Internet market is the second largest after the United States, with more than 123 million people online.
Baidu.com’s revenue rose to 271.3 million yuan ($34.8 million) in the fourth quarter, from 114.9 million yuan in the 4th quarter of last year. Online marketing revenue more than doubled to 269.9 million yuan ($34.6 million). Looking ahead, Baidu said it expected sales to fall slightly below market forecasts in the first quarter of 2007 mainly due to the Chinese New Year.
