Baidu Stops All Bitcoin-Related Advertising

[gentlemand]

I honestly do not know how to feel about this. Even if Baidu is considered as the fourth most visited, I do not know just how much Baidu has a contribution to Bitcoin. I mean, would it actually be a big impact? I am honestly asking the question here.

Have you ever done anything Bitcoin related through google advertising? I have not. Now if Baidu were removing all Bitcoin related search results, then it's time to cream your knickers.

Whenever there is good news , bad news follows for some reasons. (Twitch re-adds Bitcoin as payment method and now Baidu stops everything related to it).

How many people even use Baidu?Don't think that will be doing any bad to the bitcoin world except for faucets.Do you think they will stop showing faucets as well? Faucet==Bitcoin adds==Against baidu's new terms and conditions?

You will be surprised. Baidu is 4th biggest site in the world. According to Alexa.com only Google, Youtube and Facebook are higher in ranking. Chinese internet is specific place.
Because Great Firewall of China most services used by Chinese people are local equivalents of global/western services - so instead of Google they have Baidu, instead of Youtube they have Youku
and Facebook is Renren

the effect will be minimal (if any at all). there are other ways of getting the message of bitcoin to people. however, ask yourself this. would there be a positive impact on bitcoin when google start advertising bitcoin? probably a bit, but not so much in the way that we'll feel it when google removes the ads again.

Google already is advertising bitcoins.Just type in the browser "Best Bitcoin Wallets" and you should see the sponsored adds on the left. Matter of fact,no ponzi's/exchange sites are being shown at the ad results but sure they're doing on the independent adsense based add engines.Doesn't really help promote bitcoin or anything but helping the businesses with the right customers.

I think its not a advertise its just indexed by google because we say that advertise we will seen that the is a yellow ad in the top first page of google..  if we compare the baidu search engine i think it can not affect for bitcoin because many people are now using google.. or other search engine that actually advertise bitcoin or indexed..

I think baidu will reindex it again in their search engine..

It is bad news and it will make price of bitcoin will going down, and making popularity of bitcoin going down too. But this is not first time bitcoin be attacked by negative news and bitcoin was survived.

Until someone gives a public explanation, we will be speculating on what the reason behind this is. The Chinese government will never admit to having a role to play in this, but I will never rule them

out. The only reason I can think on why they still tolerating Bitcoin, is because they have total dominance on the mining side of Bitcoin. There are millions invested in mining farms and also the energy

spend at these mining farms.

Baidu ban is not going to affect bitcoin at all.For one baidu is mostly china centric while bitcoin is universal.Second chinese love bitcoin more than they love baidu so they can dump baidu if they have to choose between two of them

of course it is not going to affect the bitcoin at all, in my opinion in the future it is going to grow only and nothing else will happen

This is my first time I heard about Baidu's included in the biggest site n the world because in my life Baidu just linked with fraudulent way, and I think I ever getting a malware on my desktop and that is always installing the Baidu add-on in my browser. in fact that's way is very effective.

Okay they're always trying for cloning and making the identity for their nations in digital world.

In terms of price, Bitcoin's actually gone up in the last few hours.
I completely agree with you. This will stop nothing, and Bitcoin will continue to grow, no matter who suppresses it!

I don’t know for what reason that Baidu doesn’t let bitcoin-related advertisement appear on their site but I don’t think it’s gonna cause much lost in bitcoin as well as affect much in the bitcoin world.

Because as I can see that Chinese is famous about these bitcoin stuffs and they seem to know a lot about bitcoin and in my experience of surfing the web, I’ve rarely seen an advertisement about bitcoin or anything deals with it, a stopping in bringing bitcoin to the Chinese on Baidu won’t be that serious.
