Will e-commerce marketplaces one day overtake search engines?

News From: http://aliblog.alibaba.com/

Alibaba.com ranks 5th in Asia search properties

Alibaba Group websites, mainly covering the B2B and C2C marketplaces of Alibaba.com and Taobao, ranked collectively as the 5th biggest search destination in Asia-Pacific.
Most people think of Alibaba.com as a website where small and medium buyers and suppliers from around the world meet and conduct business, but it’s really a place where people search and find stuff.

Press release (latest release for July 2008 rankings + the April 2008 rankings)

comScore Releases Asia-Pacific Search Rankings for July 2008; More than 27 Billion Searches Conducted in July
17 September 2008
PR Newswire (U.S.)

TOKYO, Sept. 17 -- comScore, Inc. (Nasdaq: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today released its ranking of the top search properties in the Asia-Pacific region based on data from the comScore qSearch 2.0 service, revealing that Google Sites continued to lead the region with 33.5 percent of the more than 27 billion searches conducted in July. Baidu.com Inc. ranked second with 27.4 percent search share, followed by Yahoo! Sites in third with 19.7 percent share.

"Although Google leads the Asia-Pacific search market, powerhouse Chinese search engine Baidu.com follows closely on its heels with only a 6-percent difference separating the two," said Will Hodgman, comScore executive vice president for the Asia-Pacific region. "It will be interesting to watch Google and Baidu compete for the top spot in the region and the loyalty of the growing Asian population."
Google Leads Search Market in Asia Pacific
Google Sites led the search ranking with more than 9 billion searches conducted during July, followed by Baidu.com Inc. with 7.4 billion searches and Yahoo! Sites with 5.3 billion searches. Korea's NHN Corporation captured the #4 ranking with 1.2 billion searches (4.6 percent market share), while China's Alibaba.com Corporation ranked fifth with 823 million searches (3 percent market share).

Gli annunci di compravendita sui siti B2B

Gli annunci commerciali sui siti B2B, consentono ai fornitori e ai compratori di ridurre i tempi ei costi delle transazioni, generando nuovi contatti di lavoro e aumentando le vendite. Prima dell'avvento di Internet, il commercio richiedeva molto più tempo per ottenere i contatti, le informazioni sui clienti e i fornitori, i dettagli sulle procedure necessarie per operare con l'estero, ed era anche difficile che le offerte raggiungessero in modo efficace il potenziale acquirente o venditore.
-
Pubblicare un annnuncio di import-export consente di essere visibili immediatamente e in tutto il mondo. Quando un potenziale partner commerciale è interessato a fare affari con voi, lo comunica immediatamente sotto forma di e-mail. Il tempo necessario per prendere contatto con uomini d'affari di tutto il mondo si riduce a pochi minuti. In dieci minuti otterrete un nuovo contatto commerciale ma questo non significa offrire e ottenere la fiducia che serve per fare buoni affari. Per quella può non bastare una vita!
-
Non solo i venditori utilizzano il commercio on-line: anche i compratori beneficiano di questa modalità commerciale. Se l'offerta di acquisto soddisfa in pieno le caratteristiche dei prodotti o dei servizi di un venditore, la possibilità di un ordine e dell'inizio di un rapporto d'affari di lunga durata sono quasi garantiti.
-
Gli elementi di successo di un annuncio B2B includono:

-Chiarezza - indicare chiaramente ciò che si offre o ciò che si intende acquistare.
-Brevità - usare le parole necessarie per descrivere i prodotti.
-Informazione - indicare chiaramente i termini del contratto di vendita, il trasporto e l'attuale ubicazione dei prodotti o la destinazione se siete l'acquirente.
-Link al prodotto - fornire i link al sito web dove gli acquirenti interessati o venditori possono ricavare maggiori informazioni su di voi.
-
Con i giusti accorgimenti e consultando i siti e i portali web dedicati al commercio B2B, il business internazionale è alla portata di tutti.

Business to Business

Cosa è il B2B?

Business to Business (letteramente "azienda-verso-azienda"), spesso indicato con l'acronimo B2B, è un termine comunemente utilizzato per descrivere le transazioni commerciali elettroniche tra imprese, in opposizione a quelle che intercorrono tra le imprese ed altri gruppi, come quelle tra una ditta e i consumatori/clienti individuali (B2C, dall'inglese Business to Customer o Business to Consumer, lett. "azienda-verso-cliente o consumatore") oppure quelle tra una compagnia e il governo (B2G, dall'inglese Business to Government, lett. "azienda-verso-governo).
Più specificamente, Business-to-Business o B2B indica le relazioni che un'impresa detiene con i propri fornitori per attività di approvvigionamento, di pianificazione e monitoraggio della produzione, o di sussidio nelle attività di sviluppo del prodotto, oppure le relazioni che l'impresa detiene con clienti professionali, cioè altre imprese, collocate in punti diversi della filiera produttiva.

Nell'apposita sezione troverai i links ai più conosciuti siti web dedicati al B2B. L'elenco è vasto ma sicuramente non completo: segnalaci i nuovi siti !
