The announcement comes a week after Alibaba said it would invest US$732 million over the next five years in its popular e-commerce site Taobao.com, which was recently merged with Alibaba’s digital ad service platform Alimama.

Taobao claims more than 80 million registered users and one million sellers as of September.
