Ali vs. Foreman... Skywalker vs. Vader... Donahue vs. Oprah... There was always a winner and a loser. This may not be any rumble in the jungle, but the results are just as hard to bet on... and the odds, well, just odd. Listen to this podcast, where Google takes on Baidu. May the best Chinese search engine win.

百度 Bǎidù Baidu

You use Google to search? Why don't you use Baidu?
百度是竞价排名排在前面的网站不是因为浏览量高得到网友的认可而是因为它们舍得花钱

Baidu arranges sites by how much the owners have paid. The ones listed at the top are not there because they have a lot of traffic and people approve of them. It's because they are willing to pay a lot of money.
用多了就有窍门了多看几页就行了呗我觉得中文搜索还是百度强内容是Google的好几倍呢而且好多新网页第一时间就能搜到Google就不行

Use it for a while and you'll discover some tricks-of-the-trade; just look at a few more pages and you'll be fine. I think that for searching in Chinese, Baidu is still your best bet. It has several times as much content as Google. Plus, a lot of new web pages are immediately available there. Google can't do that.
你别上Google全球网站上Google.cn不就行了中文搜索结果也是很全的最重要的是内容相关度比较高不过要听音乐的话我还是用百度

Don't look at Google's website for the entire world. Check out Google.cn, that's good enough. Its Chinese search results are also very complete. Most important, the stuff you find with Google is very relevant. But if you want to listen to music, you should still use Baidu.
