(InfoWorld) - Microsoft will display paid search listings from Baidu.comÂ among the search results of certain Microsoft Web sites, the companies announced on Thursday. Baidu, which operates China's most popular search engine, will have paid search listings on MSN, Windows Live, and other partner Web sites in China. Baidu battles Google in China, although not necessarily in the same areas.Â Baidu goes head to head with Google in searchÂ and has the biggest share of China's search market, but its reach is limited by its focus on Chinese-language searching. It has attempted to compete against its rivals through deals with major international players. In October, Viacom's MTV Networks and Nickelodeon said it will make 15,000 hours of theirÂ content available in China via Baidu Web site. That included both English and Chinese-language programs, including Nickelodeon's "Sponge Bob Square Pants" and MTV's "Pimp My Ride," along with programs produced locally for Chinese audiences. Viacom does, however, have similar arrangements with Google and AOL. Financial terms of the deal with Microsoft were not disclosed.

(InfoWorld) - Baidu.com, China's most popular search engine, reportedly plans to announce details of a European expansion later this month. The announcement will be made by Baidu CFO Shawn Wang at a Nasdaq investor conference this month, the U.K.'s Sunday Telegraph newspaper said in an online report. That event, where Wang is a scheduled speaker,will be held in London on June 19. The Sunday Telegraph report did not offer details of Baidu's plans, including when the company planned to launch a European site or what language the site would use. However, the report hinted Baidu's planned site will be targeted at younger Internet users in a bid toÂ compete with GoogleÂ in Europe. Baidu officials could not immediately be reached for comment. Earlier this year, Baidu set up a Japanese search engine, the company'sÂ first foray beyond its home market. Despite plans to spend around $15 million on the Japanese site, most of its early visitors came from China, primarily in search of access to pornography censored by Baidu's Chinese Web site. In response, Chinese Internet censors apparently blocked access to Baidu Japan in April. At the time of writing, Baidu Japan remains unavailable in China.
