BNET – June 10 – 17 of FriendFinder Networks' 22 brands are targeted at a general audience. Most are dating sites, but they offer non-racy relationships, such as BigChurch.com for Christians and Slim.com for dieters. Some of those businesses have audiences that are far greater than FFN’s best-known brands. AsiaFriendfinder and Amigos.com both have more registrants historically than Alt.com, the kinky dating site; and BigChurch and Senior Friendfinder have more than Bondage.com. The 800lb gorilla in FFN’s business is AdultFriendFinder with 224M registrants since inception. Revenues from the adult businesses dwarf those of the general audience. In Q1 2011, FFN had $83M in total sales, and $55M of that came from its adult sites. Only $3M came from the 17 general audience businesses.

It was an experiment. It grew fast and is now the worlds largest adult dating community. Along with Fling.com at no.2.
