Google's "2024 E-commerce Search Trends Report" shows that search traffic for niche products on independent websites is growing by 75% annually, with conversion rates 40% higher than those for mass-market categories. Research by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade indicates that foreign trade companies specializing in niche areas generally maintain profit margins of 35-50% through independent websites, far exceeding those of platform sales. Analysis by the World E-Commerce Forum emphasizes that independent websites' ability to attract precise traffic and provide in-depth content makes them the optimal channel for monetizing long-tail products.

The long tail dilemma under the platform model

1. Unbalanced traffic distribution

• 80% of the platform's traffic is concentrated on the top 5% of products (data from the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products)
• Niche product exposure costs 3 times more

2. Intensified price competition

• Homogeneous recommendations lead to vicious price comparisons
• Profit margins compressed to 8-12%

3. Inefficient user matching

• Generic traffic leads to conversion rate <1%
• Unable to reach targeted customer groups
