Please share your experience, how useful you have found the trade alerts received from Alibaba?

I myself feel that the trade leads that come as alerts are not very interesting.

If you feel the same, lets share suggestion to improve the alert mails.

Replying to [balu1234]: Balu, you can simply turn them off if you like, or maybe you can suggest a way to make them more valuable for yourself and other members.

I believe trade alerts is a good idea with a poor execution. The alerts are organized poorly, and its very hard to scroll through such a long list.

Maybe some of you feel the same way too? Or perhaps have other opinions of what make Trade Alerts bad? Or perhaps even what makes it great?

We have found Trade Alerts to be useless and have reported this repeatidly to Alibaba support but nothing changes.

 

Take a look at todays example

Our keywords are automobile wheels, car wheels, chrome wheels, Alloy Wheels

 So why am I getting all the enquiries like mountain bike, brake drums, DongFeng XBW Refuse Compactor , Steyr Bulk Cement Truck, 7" Full motorized Double Din Car DVD Player, buggy, Charmaker Digital  Car CD MP3  & EB16 CE CERTIFICATE ?
Totally rediculous!! Why anyone would pay Alibaba for their services is beyond me.

To be honest we find them useless, [em6] they regurgitate the same leads and people get fed up with responses that seem to be 3 months later when in fact its due to Alibaba re-issuing the trade alerts.

 

Also the quality of the leads are poor, one line questions from buyers often do not lead to a business transaction, so asking the client to fill out more information is key.

Also the quality of hte keyword alerts is very poor to be more than kind, we have been sending them back to alibaba who have chose to ignore the problem. Here are some examples of our alerts.

Feel free to tell me the relevence of these leads

Keywords are :  automobile wheels, car wheels, Alloy Wheels

CLW5040 Truck With Crane  [China]

HOKA 4x2 Tractor Head truck  [China]

Electrical Car Jack (GB-A15H)  [China]  (Ok you got me here, it clearly mentions CAR but it doesn't mention CAR WHEELS

tractor head  [China]

Tractor Head /Tractor of DongFeng, Sino Truck ,Foton and FAW brand  transmission  4x2,6x2,6x4 and various horse power . ... (We were so tempted by the tractor head at this point!!)

So you see its useless, we would not pay for mebership on this website, they clearly dont do eniugh upgrades and spend all the IPO money (well whats left of it after share price plummeted) on advertising instead of reinvesting in its back end engine to support clients better.

Alibaba pays for 87,824 keywords on Google to give you an idea of the amount of money spent by the company. If you want the total list of keywords just contact me directly to find out more.

I have been sending these back to alibaba at that email address for two weeks now and not one single reply has been given...explain that? There is never anyone to talk to on Alibaba chat either as you are always so busy, which can only mean with problems.
