Baidu sucks compared with Yahoo and Google


Recommended Posts

I did my first search using the Baidu search engine (because I'm testing the Baidu browser which has Baidu by default) and I just saw first hand how much Baidu sucks. Disclaimer: This isn't a comprehensive study. It is just my preliminary findings. I'm not related to any of the below in any way.

 

I searched for: "How to get listed on mypebblefaces"

 

For those of you who don't know, I'm referring to the Pebble Watch which came out in 2013 and has a companion website at www.mypebblefaces.com

 

Here are my search results:

 

Baidu top results:

1. How to get listed on Google product search - eCommerce [bytes.com]

2. How Do Companies Get Listed on the New York Stock Exchange [ehow.com]

3. How to Get Your Book(s) Listed on Podiobooks.com [blog.piobooks...]

4. How to get your contact details listed on this website [localsurveys...]

5. How To Get On Google Front Page

To be honest how do you know what comes up? Its all Chinese - and they seem to like the actual watch - which seems related to me.. Maybe your search engine is more karate than kung fu? ;) You prob need to use the fu on such a site...

Not sure why this would be in this section.. Might be more suited for general discussion or something. To be honest I don't think there are many Baidu users here on neowin since it's mostly an English board.

Who would use Baidu outside of China anyway? It's tailored for the Chinese market and largely useless for us westerners.

Same here. How come your Bing is so bad? Where are you from? And I wondered why people say Bing is bad while I have been having a good experience with it the last 2 years.

Bing outside the US/UK = Baidu outside of China = Rambler outside of Russia = nothing but poor results and spam. Everytime I see a computer infested with popup-opening adware I can be basically certain Bing has been set as default (likely by the dreaded Skype updates).

I did various searches, here's the result.

Baidu doesn't seem to like the long question, just "pebblewatches" gets quick results:

The question still gets relevant results, it just takes longer:

Results for Bing and Yahoo are pretty much the same, but list this thread as first result :rofl:

Neither gets really relevant info on the "How to get listed" part.

Just for comparison, here's the yandex.ru result:
