The Big Business Of Online Dating

Posted on May 10, 2011

AD AGE – Feb 14 – Online Dating is clearly big business: In the U.S. alone, internet dating is a $1.3 billion market, and PlentyofFish alone had 122M visits in January, according to Experian. The number of people scrambling for romance via online dating starts growing in November and peaks at Valentine's Day. "People realize sitting around the Thanksgiving table with their family and think, 'Hey, I don't have my other half' or 'My sister's married and I'm not,' so it's a cyclical event," said Mark Brooks, dating industry consultant at OnlinePersonalsWatch.com. The sector has also seen some matchmaking of its own: Just a few weeks ago, Match.com purchased OKCupid. Mr. Brooks said that Match.com has been acting like the Google of the dating world and gobbling up smaller dating sites at a quick pace.

Power User Feedback: Hey Match, You Missed This Profile

Posted on May 10, 2011

Matchcom Fake profile part  2 OPW – May 10 – Could this be a scammer, or just a cheap six figure earner who doesn't want to pay a membership fee. Either way, it should have been caught by Match's profile approval team. One of our power user panel members tells us…

"As you can see our lovely very handsome "widower" that makes $150k+ as a "construction worker" clearly puts in his profile that he "can't reply to any messages, due to connection problems"….but tells the women to put some contact info in code so he can "keep in touch"…….etc.  It's a shame a guy that makes 150K can't afford to sign up like the rest of us. The real question is how does a profile like this get approved to be up to begin with?"
