AshleyMadison Launches In UK

Posted on September 30, 2010

Ashleymadison logo new apr 2010 TNT MAGAZINE – Sep 30 – AshleyMadison is launching in the UK and its CEO is hoping to have 200,000 Londoners cheating on their partners by Christmas. Ashley Madison founder, Noel Biderman, claims that the affairs site is just being honest about something that is an unavoidable part of married life. “If 30 per cent of people who use mainstream dating sites are already in relationships, if they're having affairs at work which jeopardise their jobs or lead to unfair promotions, if they're visiting escorts and breaking the law, aren't we be better off cannibalising those destructive behaviours?”, said Biderman.

Noel Biderman Wants You To Cheat

Posted on September 22, 2010

Noel biderman ashley madison YOUR TANGO – Sep 22 – Noel Biderman, the mastermind behind cheating website AshleyMadison, defends his dating site.

Q: How do you feel about promoting infidelity?
A: We should stop being so judgmental about it.
A monogamous marriage has a 50/50 chance of making it, you may realize
that cheating happens in order to preserve marriage.

Q: Doesn't Ashley Madison encourage infidelity by making it seem normal?
A: I don't think people are so pliable that seeing a 30-second
advertisement for Ashley Madison will make people want to go have an
affair. 

Q: What made you start a dating site for cheaters?
A:
It wasn't about cheating, honestly. It was primarily business research.
Online dating was growing, and I read that 30% of its users were in
relationships. 

Q: What's the breakdown between men and women?
A: 70% men, 30% women. 

Q: When is your busiest registration day? 
A:
Monday morning between 7 and 9 am, and the day after Valentine's Day or
New Year's—any big day full of expectation when you're let down.

Q: How did you come up with the name Ashley Madison?
A: Ashley
and Madison were the two top baby girl names at the time, so it didn't
sound tawdry. Women wouldn't sign up for something tawdry-sounding like
The Affairs Club.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: It's free to join, and we do a pay
as you play kind of a thing. You can buy 100 credits for $49. It's 5
credits to message someone, a chat is paid like a cab with a meter
running.

Craigslist Blocks Access To ‘Adult Services’ Pages

Posted on September 6, 2010

Craigslist logo NY TIMES – Sep 4 – Craigslist, the popular Web site for classified ads, has blocked access to its “adult services” section and replaced the link with a black label showing the word “censored.” Law-enforcement say the adult ads helped facilitate prostitution. Ads cost $10 to post and $5 to repost, and are expected to bring in $45M revenue this year. FULL ARTICLE @ NY TIMES

Mark Brooks: Craigslist needs to decide…does it support prostitution or not. It is profiteering from prostitution. As are other adult dating services. Just how alturistic do Craig and Jim want to get? Running events to educate and encourage the formation of charitable groups is great. But their yin, to that yang, is meandering them into the solacious fields of prostitution. When you do adult dating, you also do prostitution and all that that world plunders.

Marketing Affairs: How To Advertise Paramours

Posted on August 23, 2010

Avidlifemedia logo MARKETPLACE – Aug 19 - Noel Biderman is the president a company called Avid Life Media, which runs a bunch of niche dating sites. There's CougarLife.com for older women and younger men, HotorNot.com and AshleyMadison, a dating site for married people for which Noel has gotten a lot of attention. Noel buys traditional ads where he can. But of course, a lot of big media companies won't take ads from Ashley Madison. His response? Fine. He goes to plan B — decrying them in the press for being unreasonable. Avid Life pulled down $30M in revenue last year.  Introducing cheaters to each other online has afforded Noel a pretty comfortable life. Noel does tend to defend his business with various theories and arguments about the future of matrimony and where we're headed as a society. But in the end, he says it really is all about the money. There's no way he'd be doing this otherwise.
