It is certainly true that the Internet is dominated by the Englsih language – it has been estimated that 75% of all Internet pages worldwide are written in English. But surprise, surprise, the world's No. 1 language in terms of number of native speakers is also the most difficult to read – Chinese, with about three times as many native speakers (and readers) as English. China has the second greatest number of Internet users in the world, behind only the United States, and its Internet market is one of the world's fastest-growing. Furthermore, its buoyant economy is impossible to ignore. Every year millions are added to its relatively affluent middle class.

You'd be surprised at how many Chinese can read English – they are small in proportion to total population, but large in number. You might also be surprised at how many Chinese yuppies (“Chuppies”) carry Visa and Mastercard.

Do you have a product that might sell well in China? That's a difficult question to answer, but as a one-sentence primer: affluent Chinese gravitate towards any product with name-brand appeal, snob appeal, or that is closely associated with the United States (sarcastically dubbed the “Mickey Mouse Syndrome” by envious economic rivals). If you are going global, you cannot afford to ignore China. And if your business has a website, it should be searchable in China.

Following are the URLs for site submission to ten Chinese search engines. The sites are all written in Chinese, but if you can get past the language barrier, anything is possible…

Top 10 Chinese Search Engines

1. Baidu: http://baidu.com/search/url_submit.htm

2. Sina: http://iask.com/guest/add_url.php

3. Sohu: http://db.sohu.com/regurl/regform.asp?Step=REGFORM&class=

4. Yahoo China: http://cn.yahoo.com/docs/info/suggest.html

5. Google China: http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/add_url.html

6. Sobao: http://search.sobao.com/Computers_and_Internet/Personal/

7. Tianwang: http://home.tianwang.com/denglu.htm

8. China-Holiday: http://china-holiday.com/newterms/hall/it/sort.asp?sortid=259

9. Wangluobing: http://www.net7b.com/net7b_/denglu/index.asp o

10. Sunwukong: http://www.sunwukong.cn/add.php

The first six of the foregoing are major players, but the rest are marginal and may well be out of business by the time you read this (then again, you never know…).

Happy hunting!

Submit Your Website To Search Engines

If you have a web-based business or if a significant portion of your business is done on the web through your website, then the best advertising and marketing is done by submitting to a search engine. No amount of press release, newspaper or radio ad, banner ad, spam email or newsletter will achieve the same results, although, maybe effective in a small proportion.

Beware of companies that promise automatic submission of your website to hundreds of search engines which are but only false promises. The best way to submit your website for search engine ranking and inclusion is to do it yourself or to hire an expert to do it manually, by contacting the search engine companies and directories.

Before you begin to submit your website to search engines ensure your websites are thoroughly designed to the professional quality using the right key words, good graphics and pictures and the relevant content. Don't submit websites that are incomplete. While submitting to a search engine, make sure to provide information about your website, keywords and any other information that may be pertinent, including the name and contact information of your business.

Mere submission to search engine companies does not guarantee that your site would be immediately listed and the ranking will be high. Because there are thousands of new websites coming up every day and it may take quite sometime before they take up your site for review by human editors. One important factor to remember while submitting site is to include a site map of your website which makes the crawling easy for the web robots. Search engines like http://www.google.com hardly consider submissions without sitemaps.

There are many online companies that accept search engine submission services. You can choose to do it yourself with a software package and service. Don't use the automatic submission services.

Here is a list of the most popular Search Engines and directory companies:

Search Engines: Go.com/InfoSeek AltaVista, Google, HotBot, Excite/Webcrawler

Directories: AOL Search Inktomi, Lycos Open Directory, MSN, Yahoo!, LookSmart Snap

Apart from the above there are thousands of search engines and directory companies, where you can submit your website to as many companies as possible.

However, before you go submitting your website to a vast array of search engines I would recommend that instead you write an article or a press release about your product or service and submit a free press release and that will have your website indexed with a high page rank backlink to your site.

You will probably not get an article written about you every single month, but the more times clients see your name the better. In fact people have to see or read something 3 times to remember it
