Baidu page, such as journalists enter "Washington" and "milk" the two key words, found that Baidu's first line of each show: "Washington, shop on fire" and "24-hour security webcast Mengniu milk production" and so it is obviously advertising nature of the link, rather than general Internet users are usually concerned with the key word information.
In this way, relying on "PPC", Baidu years to earn that pours.
