Baidu Takes Immediate Measures to Improve Online Marketing Services and Enhance User Experience
BEIJING, May 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU) ("Baidu" or the "Company"), the leading Chinese language internet search provider, reports on an examination of its search ranking practices by PRC regulators that followed news reports and critical public comments regarding those practices.
On or around April 30, 2016, Chinese media reported that Zexi Wei, a Chinese college student, had died from cancer following unsuccessful experimental immunotherapy treatment received at a hospital. The media and internet commentaries also reported that Zexi Wei had learned of the hospital and treatment program when a paid listing for it appeared on the first page of Baidu's search results.
Following these reports, three PRC regulatory authorities, including the Cyberspace Administration of China, the State Administration of Industry and Commerce and the National Health and Family Planning Commission, sent a team of representatives to meet with Baidu management on site and examine Baidu's business practices and regulatory compliance. On May 9, 2016, the three regulatory authorities publicly announced the results of their examination. They concluded among other things that Mr. Wei found Baidu's search results, that the bidding price by Baidu's online marketing customers is given significant weight in search results ranking, and that certain results are not clearly identified as online marketing. The PRC regulators believe these practices affect the fairness and objectivity of search results and might mislead internet users.
The regulatory authorities also requested that Baidu take several remedial measures, including the following:
(i) to immediately modify the Company's practice of providing online marketing services to medical, pharmaceutical, health care and other similar businesses, and refrain from providing online marketing services to medical organizations that do not have requisite qualifications from competent regulatory authorities;
(ii) to modify the Company's existing auction-based paid search practices, including using "credibility" and "reputation" of listed parties as major factors to rank search results by May 31, 2016, and indicating clearly which search results are marketing information and the associated risks, and limiting the percentage of marketing information to no more than 30% on each web page; and
(iii) to establish and enhance user protection mechanisms, including creating channels for users to file complaints, efficiently handling complaints, ceasing services immediately upon discovering unlawful or non-compliant information in search results, and establishing a system to compensate users harmed by misleading marketing information.
Baidu has taken and will continue to take measures to comply with these requests from the PRC regulators. In addition to the actions requested by the regulators, Baidu intends to set aside RMB1.0 billion for the purpose of compensating users who establish they were harmed by fraudulent marketing information.
Baidu is fully committed to social responsibility and will continue to improve its business practices commensurate with its status as the leading Chinese language Internet search provider, to provide the best and most equitable way for people to find what they are looking for.

BAIDU ($BIDU) FINALLY SHOWS O2O PROGRESS, THEN THIS… : http://www.optionmillionaires.com/baidu-bidu-finally-shows-o2o-progress/
wont make too much sense now tho - on those trades you want to set them a few months out so you don't get smacked with a loss in theda right away. Also, you want to be sure the implied volatility is low so the premium isn't that inflated
I will check the prices of 140 and 180
right. closer to 140 maximizes profits
The sale of the put would help subsidize the cost of the put and you make a lot of money if the stock price falls below $180. You would start losing once the stock falls below $140
in this case, buy a 180 put and sell a 140 put with the same expiration.
What is a vertical put by the way?
long on some 180/140 may 20 vertical puts....thinking i need to unload them, but im curious now if this thing will continue tanking...
Looks like those expired just in time!
BIDU blood bath today. Chinese gov't investigating Baidu.
The company beat the estimates of the street and the stock is up eight dollars in the premarket
earnings will be released before 8 PM EST tonight along with conf. call at such time.

It Is A Chinese Wasteland BIDU Does-Businesses In.
SG&A expenses in Q2 were RMB3.9b, an increase of 81% year on year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in promotional spend for O2O. To support our O2O initiatives, we expect SG&A to ramp up significantly in the second half of the year, stepping up 80% to 90%, from the SG&A expense in the first half of 2015

The Baidu Story
Many people have asked about the meaning of our name. "Baidu" was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The poem compares the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles. "…hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were waning, and there she stood." Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.
Baidu chose a poetic Chinese name because it wants the world to remember its heritage. As a native speaker of the Chinese language and a talented engineer, Baidu focuses on what it knows best - Chinese language search. Applying avant-garde technology to the world's most ancient and complex language is as challenging as it is exciting. At least people here at Baidu think so. As having diligently disclosed in the Prospectus of our recent Initial Public Offering, we believe there are at least 38 ways of saying "I" in Chinese. It is important that we master all the ways of addressing oneself in Chinese because our users depend on us to address every one of their daily queries. And trust us, pin pointing queries in the Chinese language is an art rather than a science.
Our mission is to provide the best way for people to find information. To do this we listen carefully to our users' needs and wants. Have we collected all the Chinese web pages they want to see? Are the pages current and up to date? Are the search results closely related to their queries? Did we return those search results instantly? To improve user experience, we constantly make improvements to our products and services. For example, we introduced "phonetic" or "pin-yin" search which allows our users to type in Chinese keywords using English alphabets. This feature is designed to skip the switching from English inputting to Chinese inputting and for when the user is not sure of the written form of a keyword. Our users definitely notice the many little things that we do differently to ensure a simple and reliable search experience every time.
In addition to serving individual users, we also serve as a media platform for online marketing customers. We not only provide our customers easy access to one of the largest online audiences in China but also targeted groups with defined interests as indicated by queries. Unlike traditional online advertising services which charge by flat fee, our marketing products and services are performance based. Our Pay for Performance model has taken the market by storm because it is cost effective and measurable.
We know that a lot of interesting things are going on in the Internet space, but we don't want to lose focus. China's Internet search industry is only a newly discovered territory. We see vast untapped grounds in our home base and we believe there are still plenty of prizes to be claimed by the best players.
