The leading Chinese goods B2B Alibaba launches a website ads trade market called Alimama. Alimama is similar to combine Adwords and Adsense, but more like a C2C site.

Publishers can offer their websites’ place to show advertisements. Advertiser may pick appointed place or website to show their ads. A bit different and particular than Adwords.

Alibaba has hundreds of customers, so maybe Baidu and Google will in the face of a powerful competitor.

A price-compare search is published by Yahoo! China. You may find goods and product news you want. But after you use it, you will find that is nearly a site search, all goods are from Taobao.com the largest C2C website in China, which also is a website of Alibaba as Yahoo! China.

Product news is provided by some professional websites in China, it looks like a custom search engine of webpage search.

Last week, Yahoo China republished its search portal Yisou, in a different Chinese name 易搜(search easily) instead of 一搜 (one search). It looks based on Yahoo China’s engineers work Easysou (so many similar names @-@), that contains much web2.0 features.

On homepage it notes “more easily search more brilliant life”, and a count down board declares something will happen after two weeks. I guess Yahoo China will publish a personalized homepage or Craigslist like service on that day.

Update: Yisou just released a new version after deadline. What’s new? Sorry, it doesn’t say. And I don’t discover something interesting. Only music search and image search? So funny for the count down board. Bad Yahoo! China and its owner Alibaba.
