Search Engines in Chinese language world

Most search engines in Chinese world use Chinese with two versions: 1) simplified Chinese 2) traditional Chinese. The Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore , while the traditional Chinese is used in Hong Kong, and Taiwan.

In mainland China, almost all search engines only accept Simplified Chinese. On the other hand, in Taiwan, most of the search engines like to accept Traditional Chinese. Singapore' search engines would prefer your web page submission in English. Hong Kong's search engines vary.

So if you wnated to market your products or web sites in this side of the world, you will submit your URLs (webpages) manually according to local China search engines' official language, or even in English. So far there is no good tool to automate this process.

The followings are some popular search engines.
