Especially, the two-year old Baidu Zhidao(answers service) is gradually becoming a very sticky online community. During second quarter, visits to Baidu Zhidao reached 400 million, with average visiting time of 13 min, and contribute significantly to the overall traffic.
Third, the beefing up of direct sales force is helping convert potential customers
Baidu continues it's expanding of sales force in several important districts in the last few qaurters. To meet the ever growing demand, the development of sales and customer service teams is helping Baidu winning potential cusotmers.
