    Dating sites

    Anyone made/making a real cash with Dating Direct?

    I'm linking to Match, Dating Direct, and DateTheUK.

    Surprisingly, DatetheUK is showing promise! The other 2 seem poor.

    For DD, I even moved from CJ to TradeDoubler but and the leads (not even subscriptions!) are still coming in very slow so I don't think the network is the problem there.

    DD loads of leads, one in 20 becomes a sale

    we played with loads and then settled on dd...but add a nav bar that says:

    adult dating
    gay dating
    christian dating
    asian dating

    then find specialist sites and send them to them...25% conversion if targetted correctly

    the remainder then goes to DD

    You could always try creating your own, tailord around your sites niche. Niche dating websites always convert better than general. With the exception of adult dating, general adult dating sites convert quite well. It is all relative as to where you are advertising.

    Hope this helps.

    They convert very well.. people is searching more and more this kind of sites..

    Go to sites that covers USA.. people from United States are using this kind of service in a very strong way..

    every day you can see a new site that offer this kind of service.. so.. go ahead and start advertising them .. you are going to win money..

    The big sites do convert well I am not going to argue that but If you can find a niche that would fit your current target audience you will actually convert better. But only if it is a niche dating website. Alternativly you could try promoting an adult site, we have found that adult converts very well in most places advertised...we also cater for adult sites.

    Hope this helps.

    Adult dating - we get tons to signup for free with your major competitor but conversion to paid is about 1%.

    It all depends on where your traffic comes from, But typically you should be at least seeing an 8-12% conversion on free to paid if your traffic is europe/us. If you are receiving traffic from India and Nigeria then I would be suprised if you get 1%. My advice would to be try a few of the different white label adult services out there and decide on which one makes you the most money. Things that really interest the adult world is offers - buy one month get one free, or if a member has signed up but not paid for 3 months send them an offer of £1 sign up for a month, they are very likely to roll over to month two.

    I hope this helps.
