Can google be Top 1 in China

[InChina]

China will become the largest search market in the world soon. But google is still not among the top 3.
Some google person were visiting china recently?
What will happen in the future?
what kind of action will google take to reach Top1?
Who can help google to develop their business?
Or will google develop it by themselves?

Interesting point you raise, but which part of Google are you referring to:

Google Organic Search
Google Adwords
Google adsense for publishers
Gmail
Picassa

I am genuinely interested in this market ...

Thanks for your interests, Shak

According to your question:
What I am talking about is the first three parts, that would be:
Google Organic Search
Google Adwords
Google adsense for publishers

For the Organic Search, the traffic rank in Google chinese is much less than those top chinese serch engine, and the SEO toward that is didn't attract as much interests as google english.

For the Adwords, well, the revenue was estimated to be less than Baidu and some other search engines.

For Adsense, most of portals and search engines in China had launched nearly the same model. That is to say, they already started the traffic leads business, and made it pay per click.

In my point, this three parts will affect each other.

Google should think it very carefully and get more ideas from those experienced chinese SEM companies.

Who's ahead of Google, specifically? And by how much exactly?

And didn't Google acquire part of Baidu?

Well, rumor will come true.
Google rent a whole floor of a building at Shanghai, just a few employees there.
Who are the whole floor expecting?

rumor said baidu.com will move to Shanghai soon.
rumor said Mr Gu ( former Sohu.com COO) is being expected by the whole floor too?

Experienced chinese search engine COO, Top 1 chinese search engine provider, and Google?

What a dramatic story!
