All of these sites were sitting on a PR of 3 or less in May of this year.
I am not sure what the keywords are that you are quoting the ranks for the above sites. I am in the top 10 on Google for the following keywords (the rating is in brackets) : Canadian singles free (2), Canadian singles (3), Canada single (1), Meet Canadian singles (2) Singles in Canada (1), Dating Canada (4). Just to name a few. I have been around since 1998 and offer a very personal service. I have contests to win everything from a singles cruise to the Caribbean to our latest contest “Win an iPOD”. I have held coffee dates, Valentine Dances and I attend them all. Not only do I run a successful dating service, I contribute and am actively involved in charities for Breast Cancer. Not only did we support the Pink Bedroom Party for Breast Cancer, we chose members to come with us to a huge gala where they were whisked away in a limousine complete with champagne. I also find time to volunteer at our local hospital where I feed elderly patients.
All I seem to read lately is about the larger companies that are looking for better conversions. Let’s start with giving them what they want, keeping the databases clean of people who do not respond, and holding events in areas so that customers can meet in groups. I will continue to listen to what my customers want and have big plans for next year for events that my customers have asked for. I may be small in the eyes of some of the companies on here, but I am still here after 8 years and have a great rank on Google
