3L(g Z,}x#{$d*C lots of people discussing this at the forum . The one who's using B2B platform either commended or complained; That confuse The one who's preparing to choose B2B ,they did not know how to make a decision. From my knowledge,I would like to talk about the B2B platform choosing criteria .

ql#w{L9\j*Pb in the forum many people like taking the PR value, the visit current capacity, the total inquires quantity to weigh a website. Compare the profession platform to synthesizes platform,if we make a judge according to above, in the PR value and the total sell/buyer offer quantity, the specialized profession website definitely is short. Take Alibaba for example, 27 profession classifications and more than 700 and profession sub-category. At present the daily information renewal quantity nearly 20,000, the daily average business inquires is up to 100,000, what a beautiful number! Try to image, if I am a stone manufacturer, the daily
V j@m T-{F-k'| J8l 20,000 supply and demand information, 100,000 business seek in the plate, put this number int 27 professions and 700 profession sub-directories, Do you think how many will relate to stone? How many buy offer is related to stone ?! How many stone manufacturer do I compete to?! I specificly love the profession platform or the comprehensive platform that hava some advantage in some aspect. perhaps in the visit total quantity and inquire quantity,it was kind of low . but the average inquires quality and quantity is equally very considerable. The current capacity, this is only a data, It's normal that the current capacity is low because All the Europe's and America's platforms does not have the sending inquire function, if you must take the accurate current capacity to make a judger, I would suggest that you take the search engine. a-[!g:fN.`)O~/[

~R+hUn5ny 2: The platform promotion {5^o9|#\
if you search the Google with your product key. You will find out there are a few B2B platform at the first several pages and the right hand side. All those B2B platforms is certainly the best in your own sector. They should be your good choices. When you inquires the right hand side payment, you must pay attention to ask the time section, some B2B platform only put their key word paying advertisement in some certain area in the working hour. just be careful don't miss some really good B2B platform. If a B2B website's promotion is not that persuasive, how we did believe that it can complete the market introduction for us?! Therefore, I thought that check out the platform promotion is also the very important. YY_!w&Hh'HK

v8w4Zo9OE 3: The platform high performance cost ratio when we were talking about the "high performance cost ratio" about the B2B platform,I prefer to the growing up B2B platform. Because it is in it's grow-up period,it will offer much more free access power,and the buy inquiry quality and quantity are also pretty good. Take the Global source for example, the price is too high, I don't think the high performance cost ratio will be good,however, it aimed at the client base on the big enterprise , so the small and medium-sized enterprise should think it carefully . This is also different depend on different person.

}(V8W!w&TV3~'i 4: Platform effection this is the most important aspect, if the effection is not good, all of above is the empty talk. If you are not urgent to be a golden member,i suggest that everybody should register and have a try for a while to see how it work. Just remember one thing,what B2B do is search ,they cost the same, but the profession is different, the competition is different, the product is different, so the effection will be different too. if the search key word of your product is alreay stand in front of a B2B platform,but you didn't receive any inquiry. I mean for a while. That's mean even you become a golden member, that will be no different.

From my observation,I recommend the following B2B platform: $\7Bl"g8H^ xlca
If the engineering products may use Made-In-China, recommendation reason: MIC has advantage In the mechanical area and the risk is low. $x1N3BHp9^a1w
If the building materials products may use BMsourcing, recommendation reason: BMsourcing.com focus and only focus in the building material area,it has huge North America, Europe, Middle East's buyer. K"Hjp+DOS
If the bargain-priced goods product must sell to Africa, the Middle East may use Alibaba, but you have to prepare suffering the phrenalgia $G1I)m/`p;Ra
If the electronic products, choose Global Sources, Global Sources once made lots of well-known electron company success! It is the best choice for the electronic product. Q&gf&k1Iu/sC
If the toy, the gift, craft product may go to TTC, is also known as Hong Kong TDC
