Top 5 websites making money online China
Posted by Fione Tan, head internet marketing coach
China has already overtaken the USA as the country with the highest internet users in the world!
The 3 top popular search engines in USA - Google, Yahoo! and MSN, are not ranked within the top 3 sites in China.
Which are the top portals and most popoular search engines in China?
The China web portals listed below according to the generated highest amount of revenues in 2007 include:-
1. Tencent (most popular application is the instant messaging QQ) - US$523.1 million
2. NetEase - US$316.1 million
3. Sina - US$246.1 million
4. Baidu search engine - US$239.1 million
5. Sohu - US$188.9 million
Compare the list above with the current revenues earned by search engines & portals in the USA below:-
1. Google - US$16.6 billion
2. Yahoo! - US$7 billion
3. AOL - US$5.2 billion
4. MSN - US$4 billion
This shows that the current China portals and search engines are still having tremendous opportunities for expansion as most of these China portals are relying on non-advertising based revenues as their main source of income (except for Baidu who is earning 99.8% of its income from online ads).

Dear Fione and eOneNet team,
I would like to give the Blog Workshop on 4 July ‘08 a big thumb up. Words cannot begin to describe the wealth of street-based knowledge and real life information I gained during this workshop. It allowed me to see the ‘forest for the trees’ - to step back, divest myself at the tangle of daily business issues and operation, see things from a deeper perspective, re-focus and think about the next steps.
I have spent years searching for the missing link. I have tried countless ways and work extremely hard to improve my business but the ROI was relatively unjustified to all my efforts and deliverables.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to refresh my mind and reaffirming the concept of leveraging. I would recommend this blog workshop to all those who are new in the business world and those who would like to take their existing career and business to the next level.
In today’s global environment, we need to break free from the confinement of conventionality - to relearn, unlearn and continue to learn what we have learned and empowering our minds with new perspectives, ideas, solutions and creativity.
I believe with eOneNet’s tools, challenges and weaknesses are embraced and give a positive twist, making those challenges and weaknesses seem less daunting. I sincerely hope to expedite the ‘internet gap’ and yearning forward to an exciting and fruitful lifetime online ride.
With every special thanks and best wishes,
Daisy Poh Yoke Cheng
