In the early years, Google also provided APIs for Internet applications, but Google did not embed applications into search results, and Google did not promote application APIs. It's a pity that Google missed this opportunity.
But Baidu has discovered business opportunities here. It first launched the Baidu search open platform, and then launched the Baidu application development platform. Perhaps it will not be long before it launches a commodity open platform... until Baidu controls all walks of life on the Chinese Internet.
What impact will Baidu Open Platform have once it is opened?
First: Baidu Application Open Platform will control Internet applications step by step. Once Chinese Internet users become accustomed to applications appearing in Baidu search results, Chinese Internet application manufacturers will be forced to beg for mercy from Baidu. Because Baidu controls the ranking of applications (and therefore the customers of Internet applications). If any Internet application offends Baidu, your application will never appear in the keyword search results page of Baidu Application Open Platform.
Secondly: If Baidu can treat the ranking of Internet applications fairly and impartially, then it will be a huge "fat" for SEOers to rank Internet applications on the Baidu Application Open Platform. All SEOers should keep their eyes open at all times, maybe this is your idea to get rich quickly.
Again: From the Baidu search open platform to the Baidu application open platform, the author gradually became clear about Baidu's "ambition". Baidu wants to have a foothold in every Internet field, and eventually it will slowly monopolize the Chinese Internet. If not as expected by the author, Baidu will also have an open product platform. For example, on one of my own sites, the theme is onychomycosis drugs. When a searcher searches for "onychomycosis drugs", a "display shelf" of the drugs will appear on the search results page, without the searcher having to click on the drug at all. The website you are on can be purchased in the Baidu search results page.
Finally: Baidu’s so-called open platform will slowly kidnap all walks of life on the Chinese Internet, causing the entire Chinese Internet to be completely dependent on Baidu search.
If Google had not participated in the market competition in mainland China, Baidu would have been far ahead until it basically monopolized the Chinese Internet market. Of course, Maoseomao still hopes that China's Internet market will become healthier and healthier, and it is best not to have so-called monopolies. You SEOers can make a lot of money.

Thanks maoseomao for your contribution
