Hey, Bill:
where did you get the data? I don't think Yahoo can surpass Google in Chinese search market. At least, my friends and i seldom search Yahoo CN.

I also think that yahoo should not have that high share in SE. My traffic was mainly from B and G, but very little from Y.

It's not my data. ;) I was just quoting a published article. My stats don't show Yahoo in that position either. In terms of referrers I see:

1. Baidu
   
2. Google
   
3. Yahoo

and Yahoo is significantly behind Google in my case.

I would take this article with a grain of salt.

If you read the article carefully you will see that Google is #3 in terms of revenue, *not* in terms of traffic. Which shows that Yahoo!'s business in China is able to monetize traffic more effectivly than Google.
