BEIJING (AP) — Baidu Inc., which operates China's leading search engine, says its first quarter profit rose 76 percent as it attracted more customers and revenue per customer rose.

The Beijing-based company said Thursday net income in the three months that ended March 31 rose to $299 million, or 85 cents per share. Revenue grew 75 percent to $677.1 million.

Baidu said its active online marketing customers rose 17 percent to about 321,000 in the period. Revenue per customer rose 49 percent.
