Taobao.com Launches B2C Services

With market share of more than 67 percent of China's online shoppers, Taobao.com opens doors to large manufacturers and retailers

HANGZHOU, China, 10 May 2006 - Alibaba.com Corporation announced today the launch of business-to-consumer (B2C) services on its Taobao.com online consumer marketplace. Already China's largest online consumer-to-consumer (C2C) marketplace, Taobao.com is expanding its e-commerce model to include products and services provided by major manufacturers and retailers.

"While American B2C models have failed to succeed in China, Taobao's model will make B2C a reality in China," said Toto Sun, Taobao.com's General Manager. "Because we are simply connecting large sellers to consumers, rather than taking possession of the goods and serving as a middleman, we are offering a solution that will benefit both manufacturers and consumers in China."

Already, Taobao.com has signed up manufacturers and retailers including Motorola, Nokia, Haier, Aigo, Lining, Adidas, Giordano, and UT Starcom. In the coming months, Taobao will aggressively expand its B2C services to include additional leading manufacturers and brands.

"Taobao's growth has been based on four pillars - trust and safety, the AliPay payment system, search and an active marketplace," Sun said. "With Taobao's trusted e-commerce community now leading the market, the site is the ideal channel for manufacturers and retailers to reach millions of consumers and to expand as online shopping becomes a part of everyday life in China."

More than 10 million small- and medium-sized businesses use other Alibaba.com online marketplaces for B2B marketing and sales, and Taobao.com expects to see a large number of Alibaba.com members joining its new program along with leading international companies.

Taobao.com's announcement comes after the China Internet Network Information Center announced this week the results of a new e-commerce study, which found Taobao holding 67.3 percent market share in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, versus eBay China's 29.1 percent. The recent data indicate significant market share growth from the fourth quarter of 2005, when Taobao.com was found to hold 57.7 percent market share by independent research firm Analysys International. Another recent study, by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, found Taobao.com to be the clear market leader in China, with 72.2 percent market share.

Taobao.com now has more than 26 million product listings, nearly 20 million registered users, and over 100 million page views per day. In 2005, Taobao's transaction volume, or Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), reached US$1billion, up 700 percent from 2004. AliPay, China's leading online payment solution, recently reached 150,000 transactions per day.

3 Columns : Minima : Left and Right Sidebars

this Article from http://bguide.blogspot.com/2008/03/3-columns-minima-left-and-right.html

Article Series: 3 Column Step by Step Guides

Here are the steps to convert a default 2 column Minima template in to a 3 column template with two sidebars on left and right hand sides of the main post area.

(If you really want to understand what's happening here, read the article series Three Column Templates Explained.)

1) Add a new CSS id selector for the 2nd sidebar wrapper.

Go to Layout -> Edit HTML
Locate the #sidebar-wrapper section (Do a Find using your browser)
Copy that full section and paste below the existing sidebar section (it doesn't have to below) and rename it to #left-sidebar-wrapper
Change the float: $endSide to float:$startSide of this newly copied section (See the code snippet below)

#sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: $endSide;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}

#left-sidebar-wrapper {
width: 220px;
float: $startSide;
word-wrap: break-word; /* fix for long text breaking sidebar float in IE */
overflow: hidden; /* fix for long non-text content breaking IE sidebar float */
}

2) Introduce a new div element, as a child of the content-wrapper, to be the placeholder for the 2nd sidebar

Locate the
element.
Copy the code shown in red, above that section (this has to be above)

3) Expand the width of the other wrappers to accommodate the new sidebar

Locate the CSS sections called #outer-wrapper, #header-wrapper and #footer
Change their width property to 880 pixels

#outer-wrapper {
width: 880px;
margin: 0 auto;
...
}

#header-wrapper {
width: 880px;
margin: 0 auto 10px;
...
}

#footer {
width: 880px;
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto;
...
}

4) Do necessary adjustments to margins, padding etc

Locate the #main-wrapper section
Insert a left margin of 12 pixels.

#main-wrapper {
width: 410px;
margin-left:12px;
float: $startSide;
...
}

Note: Step 5 is only needed if your Layout Editor does not show the newly added sidebar. There was an issue where the Firefox browser didn't show a 3 column template fully in the edit mode. But Blogger reports that the issue has been fixed now.

5) Modify the CSS rules for the wire frame layouts editor.

Locate the end of the skin denoted by "]]>"
Add the following code above that line.

/** Page structure tweaks for layout editor wireframe */

body#layout #outer-wrapper {
padding-top: 0;
width:720px;
}
body#layout #header-wrapper,
body#layout #content-wrapper,
body#layout #footer {
padding: 0;
width:720px;
}

body#layout #main-wrapper {
width:400px;
}

body#layout #sidebar-wrapper,
body#layout #left-sidebar-wrapper {
width:150px;
}

]]>

Save the template. Switch to Page Elements view and enjoy your 3 column template!
