“We focus on offering products and services that enable our users to find relevant information quickly and easily. We offer our main products and services to users through Baidu.com free of charge generally. These products and services can be accessed through PCs, mobile and other non-mobile devices. We organize our products and services into nine categories, namely, search products, social products, UGC-based knowledge products, location-based products and services, music products, PC client software, mobile related products and services, products and services for developers, and other products and services. We also offer some products and services provided by our associated or cooperative websites.
Baidu’s core product is web search. In addition, Baidu powers many popular community-based products, such as Baidu PostBar, the world’s first and largest Chinese-language query-based searchable online community platform, Baidu Knows, the world’s largest Chinese-language interactive knowledge-sharing platform, and Baidu Encyclopedia, the world’s largest user-generated Chinese-language encyclopedia, to name but a few. Beyond these marquee products we also offer dozens of helpful vertical search-based products, such as Maps, Image Search, Video Search, News Search, and many more”. (form 20-F)
