As people are busy preparing their Christmas shopping, most of the bizmen are smiling to see money rolling in continously in this most important season for their business. But some are deprived of the right to take a share from this big cake.
GlobalReplica is one of such miserable website. Their dream to earn lots of money during the Christmas peak season was ended so suddenly that even other replica watches websites that are still operating felt astonished.
It happened about two weeks ago. GlobalReplica.com is a B2C website selling replica watches and replica handbags. They are one of the key players among the hundreds of websites selling replica products.
If you type in “replica rolex watch” or “fake rolex” in Google.com, you’ll find their website ranks at the first place. According to the Google Adwords keyword tool, the global monthly search volume for these two keywords are 18,100 and 60,500, respectively. Given that Globalreplica ranked in top10 in some of the other search query terms, it is estimated that it has a daily visit of about 20,000. If the transformation rate is 0.5%, then it can generate 100 orders ever day, which means the turn over will be over $10000 dollars each day. Since this is the peak season of the year, the turnover should be increased by 30-50%.

But that’s not true anymore. In fact, when you clickthrough its website, you’ll find that can’t make money any more. They were closed by the The United States District Court Southern District Of Florida. Huge loss for Globalreplica.
In fact, there were lots of other website that sold replica handbags and replica watches were closed by the American courts. There is a long list of websites that were down during this storm. They were sued by the Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Tiffany because they were selling replicas.
This is really a dangerous signal to those who are still operating websites. It seems the authentic manufacturers are very determined to get rid of those replicas website. But why are these website chosen? Will there be many more websites sued by those autentic luxury house?
Actually I think the authentic makers should not be so serious. If it weren’t those replica watches website, their market share and brand popularity will not be so good. As you can see from the example of pirate Windows operating system. If it weren’t them, computers will not be so popular, and less people would know MicroSoft and Window.
In fact, it is very easy to build a new website when an old one is shut down. Each day, there will be some new websites put into operation selling replica products. It will never ends because there is great demand for replica handbags and replica watches in this society.
