I think the keywords are profitable and competitive~~~so you try to do some work to get a good rank~~~ 2: Why not Baidu??? Baidu = Money Slave~~~ any popular keywords, you type in Baidu, and click the Search button, what you got??? 1) You got full page ads: The first page are full of ads on it~~~paid customers' ads~~ 2) You got half page infos from their own sites, such as Baike.baidu (Wiki like site) and Zhidao.baidu (Answer like site), Image.baidu (yes, the image.baidu will always on the NO3 position for any keywords~~) or other content from Baidu themselves~~ 3) Want to find out useful content?? just click to the next page...if lucky, you got want you want, but most of time, you click into the sites full of popups and virus~~~ Haha??? want to get a good position in Baidu?? just pay them, if you pay, you can get NO1 for any sites, even it's illegal in China, such as gambling, adult.... Still want to waste your time on Baidu?????? Never~~~~
