Search Marketing Expo SMX heads to China!

We are ready, SMX China, press release tomorrow

Yes, I am talking about Gambling in China this month.

The town is full of dice sound day and night since two weeks ago. From hotel to department store, from grocery store to shopping mall, from school to home, People shouting, laughing, crying with the turn out of six dices.

This panic will continue during next two weeks.

So here comes the official gambling month, but only in Xiamen, Quanzhou, and some parts of southeast china.

This is the Mid-Autumn festival, people doing the gambling for moon cake. Every business get involved with that.

But what happen to search? I check the Moon Cake Gambling in Baidu and Google. No one buy the keyword on the paid listing, and no business site do the SEO for the organic listing.

Yeah, search need to be more marketing, so do the marketers.

Every year, hundreds of million cash flow during this gambling month in just a singe city. There must be some real business online, event the branding for moon cake company or bakery.

Tomorrow will be Search Expo.

Those who had visited Xiamen for SES China must read the back cover of the conference book:
” See you at Beijing at this September”–Timev and Friends.

And here we are, Beijing, but the event is Search Expo ( Search Engine Marketing Conference & Expo ). I believed you can learn more about the story about Search Expo at here.

Yes, The Timev Tech Co., Ltd decided to give all the conference resources and the brand Timev to a new company. The new company will take over all the events and search marketing resources and develop a series search and online marketing event at Asia.

SES China is ready.

The conference book, event T-shirt, passes, all prints and the Duhugu T-shirt are all ready for all the guest.

I am closing the agenda and speaker recruitment today.

Will finish some speakers interview and release it in chinese before the event.

Who is 265.com?

I have posted about 265.com and its founder Mr. Cai before.

265.com is regarded as a grass-root legend in china internet market. They maybe the simplest site in China. I said they were the teenage yahoo, like a directory or navigation site.

A similar website called hao123.com had already merged by Baidu two year ago. After that, IDG VC invested into 265.com, Google followed the coming year.

Both hao123.com and 265.com had contribute huge traffic for both Baidu and Google for since 2004. The most valuabale asset for these website are traffice and massive amount of faithful internet users. A hugh amount of chinese internet user make 265.com as their homepage at the computers.

Now, a little bird told me today,Google extend its investment and merge 265.com into its china branch. No one commeted about that so far.

The CNNIC had a press release at Beijing today. CNNIC will start a promotion package for .cn domain.

That is, the cost for the first registration year for a .cn domain will be only RMB 1 Yuan, which is less than 13 cents in US$.

CNNIC believes that the promotion will attract more chinese and companies to register a .cn domain. A expecting .cn domain rush will expand the market scale of internet business.

Although .cn domain registratin fees is the main revenue for CNNIC, they still have the resposiblity to help the chinese internet market.

I believe that more .cn domain registration will bring more commercial or non-commercial website into this market. More business is right on the corner.

Kung Hei Fat Choy and happy spring festival!

We are celebrating the chineses new year and everything will back to business at 25th. And the SES china will do a great press release at the same time.
