Anyone thought about penetrating the chinese market (= China)?

[Michel Z.]

I thought about penetrating the chinese market a while ago. It definitely has great potential and is already a huge market. At the moment China is 2nd largest online community (number of internet users in China), after US!!

For sure soon we will have plenty of ad networks who specialize in China as a market. Though the language is a major barrier! Outsource stuff or looking for a chinese partner might work out here, but still...

I am curious what your thoughts are about targetting China?

I get a shitload of traffic from China's baidu.com for an image that appears on one of my sites, (1000 unique/day) it's just a shame that I can't convert it!

I'll have to keep an eye on this thread

I suggest everyone start learning Chinese.

There is plenty of money to be made in the English speaking world however. Don't forget India, they are the most populated English speaking country in the world believe it or not.
