Wow. Quite a few new faces in this thread. Welcome to WebmasterWorld wackimonki, exploser, tyg116, waterskin & horisly!

Baidu Japan certainly has its work cut out for them. It will take quite a while for them to break into this market with just a simple search function and very little promotion. I get the feeling that Baidu is not looking to be the top player in Japan, but rather to just have a functioning presence in the market.
