Beijing, China (13 October 2007) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — SinoLinx.com, the leading news and blog monitoring and aggregation service in China, has opened up its index to the public via a new beta search engine.

"We are happy to announce the opening of the English-language search service for the thousands of Internet media SinoLinx.com monitors each day," says Paul Doyle, chairman of BDL Media Ltd, which owns SinoLinx.com. "The next step in the coming months will be to also open the Chinese-language side of the business to users, for free."

Since launching in 2000, SinoLinx.com has been providing a combination of free news aggregation services to Internet users and premium paid Internet media monitoring services. Daily aggregating thousands of Chinese-language and English-language websites that cover business and culture in China, the service has evolved over the years to also include blog and social media monitoring. last year SinoLinx.com moved to a pure advertising and syndication based model, thereby eliminating the need for clients to pay for the service.

With the opening of the search service, users will be able to search news about China dating back months or years. Currently the service is in beta mode and allows for searches back to May 2007, but in the coming weeks this will expand to include SinoLinx.com's indices back to 2000. By the end of this year, SinoLinx.com will also open its Chinese-language services to the public.

SinoLinx.com's name comes from the combination of "Sino", which means "China", and "Linx", a short form of the term "hyperlinks". More information is available at www.sinolinx.com.
