GEBI NAV Review 2026
隔壁导航 · Chinese tool directory for cross-border e-commerce, AI and self-media · advertising is the product
The most useful thing we found is not the size of the directory. It is that GEBI NAV publishes two separate price lists for what looks like the same inventory, and one of them does not say what currency it is in. The English /advertise/ page sells four packages at 49, 99, 199 and 299 USDT per month. The Chinese /partner/ page sells four banner slots at 800, 1000, 800 and 500 per month, under a column headed only 月付 (monthly), with no currency symbol anywhere on the page. Neither sheet references the other. And the English page is not linked from the homepage, the footer, /partner/, /about/ or /ai-nav/ - it exists in sitemap.xml and nowhere else, so which price you are quoted depends on which door you walk through.
Everything else follows from that. This is a real, actively maintained directory with 5,836 URLs in its sitemap and 4,713 listing pages, carrying live advertisers you can verify by following its own redirect links. It is also a business with no published legal entity, a Gmail address for ad sales, no refund or make-good terms, and traffic numbers that cannot be checked by anyone outside it.
By the numbers
Counted from the public sitemap.xml, the category pages and the published rate cards at time of writing. The Chinese banner prices carry no currency symbol, which is why the tile shows a question mark rather than a unit. Nothing here is a vendor-supplied number.
Three directories under one domain
The site is not one list. It is three, each with its own front page, category set and audience, all sharing the same listing infrastructure and the same ad inventory.
| Sub-navigation | Path | Listings | Category links |
|---|---|---|---|
| 跨境电商导航 (cross-border e-commerce) | / | 171 | 54 |
| AI工具导航 (AI tools) | /ai-nav/ | 578 | 66 |
| 自媒体导航 (self-media / creators) | /zmt/ | 198 | 29 |
Those three front pages render 947 listings between them, against 4,713 listing pages in the sitemap. The rest live only inside the 172 category and 146 tag pages. If you buy a listing, be clear which of those two populations you are joining: front-page visibility and index membership are not the same product.
Where a proxy or automation vendor would sit
We counted the categories relevant to this industry directly. Pagination probes on /page/2 and /page/3 return 404, so these are complete category populations rather than first pages.
| Category | Slug | Listings |
|---|---|---|
| Network tools | /sort/network-tools | 100 |
| IP proxies | /sort/ipproxy | 37 |
| Temporary mail | /sort/temp-mail | 30 |
| Antidetect browsers | /sort/browser | 23 |
| Ad spy tools | /sort/adspy-toosl | 16 |
| SMS platforms | /sort/sms-platform | 12 |
| Cloaking | /sort/cloaks | 9 |
| IP check tools | /sort/ip-check | 6 |
| Virtual cards | /sort/vcc | 2 |
The proxy category is crowded at 37 vendors, and the general network-tools bucket is the largest thing on the site at 100. Virtual cards, at two listings, is effectively empty. Category size is the closest thing to a competitive map this site offers, and it is free to read before you spend anything.
The two rate cards, side by side
This is the part a buyer has to resolve before doing anything else. Both sheets are live, both are published by the same site, and they describe overlapping inventory in different units.
Sheet one: the English /advertise/ page
| Package | Price | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Sponsored Listing | 49 USDT / mo | Tool listing, short Chinese description, website link, optional coupon code, basic monthly data |
| Relevant Page Test | 99 USDT / mo | Tool listing, 3 relevant detail-page placements, 1 relevant category placement, UTM tracking, basic monthly report |
| China Search Traffic Package | 199 USDT / mo | Homepage banner, tool listing, 5 detail-page placements, 1 category placement, detail-page banner or sidebar ad, UTM tracking and monthly report |
| Growth Package | 299 USDT / mo | Homepage banner, tool listing, 10 detail-page placements, 1 to 2 category placements, detail-page banner AND sidebar ad, Chinese introduction page, coupon display, UTM tracking and report |
Sheet two: the Chinese /partner/ page
| Slot | Position | 月付 (monthly) | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 首页Banner (homepage top) | 800 | 1500 x 200 px |
| C1 | 详情页顶部横幅 (all detail pages, top) | 1000 | 614 x 90 px |
| C2 | 详情页内容顶部 (detail page, content top) | 800 | 1500 x 200 px |
| D | 侧边栏 (all sidebar positions) | 500 | 310 x 250 px |
Three things are wrong with this picture. First, the currency is never stated. The column header reads 月付 and nothing else, so 800 could be yuan, dollars or USDT, and we are not going to guess on your behalf. Second, the slot labels skip B: the card runs A, C1, C2, D, with no B slot published, which suggests either a withdrawn placement or an incomplete page. Third, the English page is orphaned. It is in sitemap.xml but no navigation, footer or sibling page links to it, so a Chinese-speaking buyer will only ever meet the second sheet, and an English-speaking buyer arriving from search will only ever meet the first.
We could not establish whether these are the same slots priced twice, two different product lines, or price discrimination between domestic and overseas advertisers. Ask before you pay, in writing, and get the currency named.
How the money actually moves
A redirect layer robots.txt hides
Outbound clicks route through /go/, and robots.txt explicitly disallows /go/, /user and /hotnews. The affiliate plumbing is therefore invisible to crawlers while still being fully visible to anyone who follows a link by hand.
Live slots resolve to invite codes
/go/home-5 lands on ipfly.net/zh-cn/activity/gebidh/, a co-branded IPFLY page. /go/detail-top1 goes to bitbrowser.cn/?code=gebidh, /go/proxy001 to proxy001.com/?ppf=mw_gebidh, /go/rolaproxy to a RolaProxy registration with an invite code. These are real, checkable, paying placements.
Some listings bypass the redirect entirely
The IPFoxy detail page sends its 打开网站 button straight to referral.ipfoxy.com/gebidh, with target=_blank and no rel=nofollow at all. So the affiliate relationship is sometimes routed and sometimes hard-coded into the listing itself.
Coupons live inside the editorial
The IPFLY entry carries 85折，折扣码【GEBIDH】, a 15 percent discount tied to the directory. That is a paid-placement signal embedded in what otherwise reads as a review, and it is worth knowing that before you read any listing as an assessment.
Four ad and analytics stacks at once
Google AdSense (ca-pub-7207517536030019), Google Analytics 4 (G-3VPHQS6KRQ), Yandex ads and an affiliates.one adlink script all run concurrently. Display revenue, affiliate revenue and direct placements are stacked on the same pageview.
Built for Chinese search engines
The head carries site-verification tags for 360, Shenma and Yandex, the site is served through Tencent Cloud CDN on DNSPod nameservers with HSTS, and it holds ICP filing 粤ICP备2024310664号-1. This is a mainland-China search play, not a global one.
The free listing is not free
There is a genuine self-serve route at /tijiao/ with a real moderation queue (已发布 / 审核中 / 草稿), an image captcha and fields for title, WeChat ID, link, description, category and tags. It costs no money. It costs something else.
- The precondition is a backlink. Both
/tijiao/and/links/state it plainly: 请先把本站添加到贵站，否则不通过！ - add our link to your site first, or the submission is rejected outright. - The friend-links page is 50 dofollow anchors. We counted 50 external links on /links/ with zero rel=nofollow, and nearly all of them carry invite or affiliate codes: BestProxy with an invitation code, 711Proxy, B2Proxy, NSOCKS, IPIPD, IPIPGO, Cloaking.House, Spy.House, Pay2.House and others.
- That is a link scheme, described accurately. Reciprocal links exchanged as a condition of listing, pointing into a page of monetised dofollow anchors, is exactly the pattern Google Search Essentials names as link spam. The exposure lands on your site, not theirs.
- The obligation is permanent. A link you place to qualify for a free listing is a link you have to keep. If you later remove it, you presumably lose the listing; if you keep it, you keep the risk.
- They do gatekeep, to be fair. /links/ also demands a legitimate business, no spam sites, existing Google indexation, normal Baidu and Google indexation with a recent Baidu snapshot, a cross-border, AI or software-tool subject, and rejects thin or long-unupdated sites. That is more filtering than most link pages apply.
Our own read: if you want to be here, pay the 49 USDT. A paid sponsored listing carries no linking obligation on your side. The free route saves money and buys an SEO liability, which is the wrong trade for anyone with a domain worth protecting.
The audience numbers, as claims
Every figure below is published by GEBI NAV about itself. None of it is verifiable from outside, and we are reproducing it as a claim, not as evidence.
| Claimed figure | Window | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| 252K+ pageviews, 192K+ users | Last 30 days | English /advertise/ page |
| 615K+ pageviews, 457K+ users | Last 90 days | English /advertise/ page |
| 300,000 monthly organic search visits | Monthly average | Chinese /partner/ page (本站月均30万自然搜索流量) |
The English and Chinese figures are framed differently enough that they cannot be reconciled: 192K users over 30 days on one page, 300,000 monthly organic visits on the other, with no shared definition of a visit and no overlap in methodology. There is no analytics screenshot, no third-party panel and no verification offered. The self-reported catalogue size fails the same test: the homepage meta description says 5000+ tools while the footer on that same page says 2000+, and the sitemap holds 4,713 listing pages. When a site cannot keep two numbers about its own inventory consistent on one page, the traffic numbers deserve the same discount.
Honest limitations
- Two rate cards, one without a currency. The most concrete problem on the site. English packages at 49 to 299 USDT a month, Chinese banner slots at 500 to 1000 per month with the unit never named, no cross-reference between them, and no way to tell whether you are being quoted the same inventory as the buyer next to you.
- No legal entity is published. The operator name 六域网络 (Liuyu Network) appears only inside the privacy policy, with no corporate suffix, no unified social credit code, no company number and no registered address anywhere on the site.
- Ad sales run through a free Gmail account. Every mailto CTA on /advertise/ points at gaocc1104@gmail.com, with a personal Telegram handle alongside it. The site's own domain address, bd@gebidh.com, appears only in the privacy policy. For a monthly invoice relationship that is a weak counterparty signal.
- No refund, cancellation, make-good or minimum-delivery terms exist. The page reserves the right to reject advertisers and warns that traffic and performance may vary. It does not say what happens if a slot underdelivers, is pulled, or is shared with three other buyers.
- Reporting is not measurement. What is offered is a basic monthly report built from available click data with UTM tags. There is no ad server, no impression-level data and nothing independently auditable. You will be reading your own analytics and taking their word for the rest.
- Editorial independence is effectively nil. Inclusion and placement are purchasable, outbound links carry affiliate and invite codes, and coupon codes sit inside listings. Position on this site reflects spend and affiliate economics, not assessment. That is normal for the format, but it should never be read as a ranking.
- Listing copy is templated and sometimes duplicated. Newer proxy entries repeat near-boilerplate of the form "X 提供住宅代理与全球IP服务，覆盖190+/195+/200+地区", which reads as bulk generation rather than research. Novproxy is listed twice, under IDs 11782 and 16076.
- The free route costs a permanent dofollow link. Covered above, and worth repeating: 50 monetised dofollow anchors on /links/, zero nofollow, and a hard reciprocal requirement. That is Google Search Essentials link-spam exposure carried by the linking site.
- Every traffic figure is self-reported and internally inconsistent. 192K users over 30 days versus 300,000 monthly organic; 5000+ tools versus 2000+ on the same page versus 4,713 in the sitemap.
- The audience is mainland China only, in Chinese only. The document declares lang="zh-Hans", /en-us and /english return 404, and the only English on the site is the orphaned advertise page. Any listing copy has to be produced in Chinese, and the channel is worthless unless Chinese-speaking buyers are a real segment for you.
- Mainland hosting carries mainland regulation. The ICP filing means PRC hosting and PRC content rules apply, and we could not verify the filing number against beian.miit.gov.cn, which requires JavaScript and a captcha and blocks automated lookups from outside China.
- The operator disclaims the things it lists. The footer states that services on the site are provided by third parties and are unrelated to 隔壁导航, and warns readers to avoid being deceived. Read that as it is written: a listing here is not a vetting.
- Nothing is published about slot mechanics. No approval turnaround, no slot availability, no fill rate, and no statement of whether a placement is exclusive or rotated among several advertisers. We could not determine any of it from outside.
GEBI NAV + PROXIES.SX: a channel, with a competitor problem
GEBI NAV sells no proxies. There is no proxy product, no per-GB or per-IP pricing, no bandwidth dashboard and no network of their own anywhere on the site. So the relationship is complementary in the only way that matters commercially: they are a distribution surface into mainland-China search demand for overseas tools, and PROXIES.SX is one of the tools that demand is looking for.
The complication we will not bury: their /sort/ipproxy category lists 37 vendors who compete with us directly, and several already pay them. IPFLY holds a homepage banner pointing at a co-branded landing page at ipfly.net, Proxy001, Novproxy and RolaProxy hold live redirect slots, and roughly two dozen proxy vendors sit in the reciprocal /links/ network with affiliate codes attached. Every outbound link is affiliate-monetised, which means the operator earns a commission when a reader picks a competitor over us. That is the honest shape of this channel: its economics reward whoever converts, not whoever is best. PROXIES.SX is not currently listed at all - a site search for our domain returns zero result cards.
GEBI NAV
Discovery layer - Chinese-language search demand, 4,713 listings, ads and affiliate links.
PROXIES.SX
Network layer - our own 4G/5G mobile and residential IPs, per GB from $4 down to $2.40 at volume, GB never expire, endpoints free.
The gap on their side
住宅代理 appears 36 times in that category against 4 for 移动代理, and 4G and 5G appear zero times. No mobile-specific category exists among the 172 slugs.
That last point is the one worth acting on. The proxy category there is overwhelmingly residential and price-led: 37 vendors, near-identical copy about 190+ or 200+ regions, and zero mentions of 4G or 5G across the entire category. A network billed per GB rather than per month, where GB never expire and endpoints cost nothing, does not have a neighbour on that page. Being differentiated in a crowded category is worth more than being present in an empty one.
PROXIES.SX pricing →The proxy vendors already on that page
Published for context rather than endorsement. This is the competitive set any listing in /sort/ipproxy would join. The category renders 37 listings under 36 distinct names, because Novproxy is present twice.
Novproxy appears twice in the source category, under two separate listing IDs. Performance claims inside those listings, such as uptime percentages, pool sizes and per-GB prices, are third-party marketing copy reproduced by the directory and verified by nobody.
Who it suits
Overseas tools testing Chinese demand
This is the honest use case, and the vendor states it themselves: a cheap way to find out whether mainland-China search demand exists for your product before funding localisation, paid ads or a local team. At 49 USDT a listing, that test is affordable enough to run on a hunch.
Anyone who tracks their own numbers
You will get UTM tags and a basic monthly click report and nothing else. If your analytics can already attribute a signup to a referrer, the reporting gap does not matter much. If you were planning to rely on their figures, it matters a great deal.
Not for anyone who needs a contract
No legal entity, no company number, no address, a Gmail sales contact and no refund or make-good terms. If your finance team needs an invoice from a named company or your legal team needs a cancellation clause, stop here.
Not for anyone protecting a clean link profile
The free listing route requires a reciprocal dofollow link into a page of 50 monetised anchors. If your domain has SEO value you care about, buy the placement instead and place no link at all.
Verdict
As a property, GEBI NAV is real. 5,836 URLs, 4,713 listing pages, 172 categories, three working sub-directories, lastmod stamps running to the day we fetched it, sensible infrastructure behind a CDN, and advertisers you can verify yourself by following its own redirect links to co-branded landing pages. Most directories in this niche are thinner than they look; this one is not. As a counterparty, it is much weaker. There is no legal entity published anywhere, ad sales run through a free Gmail address, there are no refund, cancellation or make-good terms, reporting is a basic monthly click summary with no impression data, and every traffic number is self-reported and internally inconsistent - 192K users over 30 days in English against 300K monthly organic in Chinese, and 5000+ tools against 2000+ in the footer of the same page. The two unreconciled rate cards, one of them with no currency on it, are the sharpest version of the same problem: this is a business that has not decided what it charges or who it charges it to. And the free listing route bills you in permanent dofollow links rather than money, which is a worse deal than the 49 USDT it saves. 3.0 out of 5: a legitimate, well-built directory and a plausible cheap test of Chinese search demand, run by a counterparty that publishes almost nothing you can hold it to. Buy the smallest package, name the currency in writing first, track it entirely in your own analytics, and place no reciprocal link.

What we read: the gebidh.com homepage, /ai-nav/, /zmt/, /zmtbx/, /jiema/, /about/, /advertise/, /partner/, /tijiao/, /links/, /privacy/, /disclaimers/, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, listing detail pages, and the category pages /sort/ipproxy, /sort/network-tools, /sort/temp-mail, /sort/browser, /sort/adspy-toosl, /sort/sms-platform, /sort/cloaks, /sort/ip-check and /sort/vcc, with pagination probes to confirm those counts are complete. Structural figures in this review - 5,836 sitemap URLs, 4,713 listing pages, 172 category slugs, the three sub-navigation counts, the nine category counts, the 37 proxy vendors, the 50 dofollow anchors on /links/ and both rate cards - were counted or read directly from those public pages at time of writing and are snapshots that will move. Vendor claims, reproduced as claims and not as evidence: the 252K/192K thirty-day and 615K/457K ninety-day traffic figures, the 300,000 monthly organic claim, the 5000+ and 2000+ catalogue sizes, the statement that placements are reviewed before publication and that misleading or harmful products are rejected, the promise of UTM tracking and a monthly report, and every performance number quoted inside individual vendor listings such as uptime percentages, IP pool sizes and per-GB prices, which are third-party marketing copy. We did not purchase: no ad package was bought, no listing was submitted, no reciprocal backlink was placed and no account was created, so delivery, slot exclusivity, approval turnaround, reporting quality and support responsiveness are all unverified by us. We could not confirm the legal entity - 六域网络 is a trading name with no suffix, number or address published - and could not check ICP filing 粤ICP备2024310664号-1 against beian.miit.gov.cn, which blocks automated lookups from outside mainland China. We could not determine the currency of the Chinese rate card. Exposure the buyer carries: taking the free listing route requires placing a reciprocal dofollow link into a page carrying 50 monetised outbound anchors with zero rel=nofollow, which is link-spam exposure under Google Search Essentials borne by the linking site, and the operator's own footer disclaims responsibility for every third-party service it lists. GEBI NAV sells no proxy product and is not a competitor of ours, but 37 of our direct competitors are listed in its proxy category and several are paying advertisers whose outbound links earn the operator affiliate commission - we have said so in the comparison rather than leaving it implied. Outbound links here use rel="nofollow sponsored noopener noreferrer" and carry our partner reference.
