internet - Bloggers go commercial in China

How to get 10,000 visitors on your weblog after four days? Start a forum during the anti-Japan demonstration in China. A commercial site in China kangri.blogku.com got it done and Wired explains here how it was done. The 24-year old Edwyn Chan wants to set up commercial weblogs, just like it is done in the US.

Chan's media network already has three blogs up and running, including Dianziren, which covers consumer electronics; a humor blog called Shuanga; and Jiaexp, a site for gamers. He also has plans for two more: one for women that would be about beauty and cosmetics, the other he hopes could mimic Gawker (except it would be funny).
