The submission for 'Ecommerce Awards' contains highly questionable claims, such as 'most people have used my product' and a revenue metric described as 'marketcap'. While the domain exists and is a niche industry site, it has negligible traffic (Global Rank ~10M+) and does not match the scale or reach claimed. The technical description is virtually non-existent ('Internet'), and the discrepancy between the 2016 launch date and the domain's older history (founded ~2010) adds to the confusion. The project appears to be a dormant or low-activity directory with no verifiable current traction.
