Online Advertising Channels In China

1. BAIDU:

Making people think that the Baidu bidding methods and ads more or less is just like Google, it is true. The display network ads and the text search ads also work similar to Google.

Is it good?

Currently, in China, BaiDu owns the most powerful search network and display network. If someone wants to develop a campaign based on the query base advertising, then there is no better option than Baidu

2.    SOGOU:

As mentioned above that Baidu is almost same as Google in China. So, if there is Google and then there must be Yahoo as well and Sogou, regarding market share can be called as the Chinese Yahoo

Is it good?

The results might vary as per different people opinions because although Sogou is pretty good when it came to give a better ROI to advertisers, but the stats are not confirmed and varies from campaign to campaign

3.    WeChat

It is very hard to talk about advertising platforms in China if you ignore WeChat. With more than 750m people using it on daily basis, WeChat is a popular instant messaging tool, but it is tricky for a foreign business to run a paid advertising campaign on the WeChat platform especially if that business or brand is doing it without being registered in the China. The business must have at least one official account on WeChat and that has to be verified

Is it good?

If your advertising budget is good enough, then WeChat is one of the ideal platforms for your business to run advertising campaigns because advertising through WeChat is not cheap

4.    Sina WeiBo

WeiBo according to many people is the “Twitter” of China but the term “Weibo” basically means “micro blogging” and there is no company by the name of “Weibo” only. Actually, it is the Sina WeiBo that most of the Chinese people refer to and is a popular platform. Although there is another platform by the name of Tencent Weibo but that is not very much popular.

Is it good?

Sina Weibo should be considered by the businesses and brands to run their advertising campaigns because its reach can’t be ignored
