Alibaba Group’s Re-evaluation of Yahoo Ties May Prove Harmful To Yahoo’s Presence in China, warns SEO Experts QueryClick.com

Alibaba.com has been something of a success story, beginning its internet life as a small start-up and growing into an online force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, it has recently expanded it overseas presence with AliExpress, an online marketplace akin to eBay.

In fact, it seems that a closer relationship with eBay may replace that held between Alibaba and Yahoo. During the two-day Alifest event this month, John Donohoe, chief executive of eBay, made an unlikely appearance, with Alibaba chairman and chief executive Jack Ma announcing that:

“We are competitors in some ways but we have the same dream, the same mission and the same goal to help entrepreneurs…I believe one day we will work very closely together.”

The hinted co-operation between the companies coincides with the deterioration in Alibaba’s ties with Yahoo, whose proposed venture into mainland China, along with the denouncement of Yahoo’s lack of core technologies by Alibaba.com CEO David Wei have formed the basis for the alleged re-assessment of the current partnership between the companies.

Search Engine Optimisation experts QueryClick.com commented on the benefits of increased co-operation between AliExpress and Ebay:

“A close partnership between AliExpress and eBay could be hugely beneficial for both sides, with one providing the other with valuable contacts and insights into their respective markets. The Chinese market is notoriously difficult to master for foreign investors, whilst eBay could provide expert advice for Alibaba’s expanded online presence in the West.”

Following news that Yahoo Hong Kong Managing Director, Tsoi Po-tak, revealed the company’s hope to lure advertising from the Chinese mainland, China’s Alibaba Group – which is 40% owned by Yahoo Inc. – may rethink it’s relationship with the US giant.

SEO experts QueryClick.com Welcome China’s Renewal of Google’s ICP License

Following speculation that the search engine giant would have its license revoked after its redirection of Chinese users to the unfiltered Hong Kong site, the Chinese government have decided to renew Googles ICP license, for 12 months at least.

This is the latest in a long series of events involving Google and the Chinese authorities, in which both have refused to compromise in their operations. Now however, reconciliation has been achieved by the mutual appeasement of both sides, with sacrifices being made in order to prolong the presence of Google in China.

The immediate outcome of the announcement was a 2.8% rise in Google shares during Friday trading. The license renewal is a significant factor in the continued growth of Google, as well as a beneficial conclusion for the Chines internet industry and internet community.

In the opinion of SEO experts QueryClick.com, having access to the usage of the largest internet community in the world will prove to be a seminal step in Google’s future success. While the access of the Chinese public to the Google search engine provides a huge boost to the improving sense of open-ness in China, as well as bolstering their economy

However, the search engine has had to make a concession insofar as users are required to make an extra click in order to access Google’s search facilities on the Hong Kong site. This may lead to users turning to an alternative and more convenient option such as the Chinese engine Baidu.com.
