jqw.com is only in Chinese so very few people outside China visit it for language reasons. Alibaba is in English and many other languages as well.
jqw.com has created an English language site jqwmall.com. It's in development and was launched a few months ago. Obviously Alexa does not include its traffic stats as part of jqw.com.
If you go to Alexa ( for jqw.com) you'll see Alexa shows the website a jqw.com visitor was on prior to visiting jqw.com. For example 30% visited Baidu immediately before visiting jqw. Baidu is a very large China search and listing website.
So Alexa seems to be saying lots of jqw visitors do come from search and listing sites such as Baidu. Elsewhere it says visitors via search engines are minimal. Why? I don't know. There seems to be a contradiction. My guess is Alexa might pick up only on non-Chinese language search engines eg Google - ie it is not Chinese character enabled.
To reassure yourself, go to Baidu.com and search for JQW. It comes up first and has lots of references. If it were a bot fraud it is unlikely Baidu would list to so prominently. FYI Baidu is a Nasdaq 100 listed company.
Another guide to whether a website is a bot fraud is the length of time visitors spend on a site. Alexa gives an average time of 4 min 24 sec. Bots tend to stay for a second at most.
