Best advertising space for dating site?

18 replies
I ran a free online dating site called accentudate.com and would like to start promoting it via other dating sites. Does anyone have any suggestions for sites/services that work best for this?

I'm currently working on SEO but I really need to drive more traffic from advertising. I'm open to any ideas you might have.

Thanks,
-Paul

    Plenty Of Fish is close to the top of the heap and their ad rates are very reasonable.

      Unfortunately they don't allow "free" dating sites to advertise.

        LOL

        I did not realize that either...

        I'd be interested in hearing people's suggestions too.

        I used article marketing to get my dating site ranked. I rank in the top 3 for more than 70 key phrases, and I get quite a bit of traffic.

        Mine is also a free dating site, in an out-of-the-ordinary niche. And I make all of my revenue from affiliate programs with other dating sites.

        I am currently pulling between $300 and $400 per month in affiliate commissions.

        But since I am already at the top of Google for so many keywords, I need to go elsewhere to find more traffic.

          Bill,

          Would you mind sharing your dating site URL so I could take a look? Maybe we could even exchange links...

          Thanks,

      yes I would suggest POF as well I have tried them before it can get quite expensive though based on my testing but then again back then I didn't have a good product to promote so your results may vary.

    Now is very little dating traffic in the search engines . Just look at the "relatively young" website (sixsinles.com, jumpdates.com, luvfree.com, someonenew.com), which took first places at dating keywords. The number of users is less than 200,000. Perhaps now we must look for other sources of traffic. For example to make an application for FB.

      I have tried Facebook but am not receiving as much traffic as I thought I would. Currently trying a combination of other things like article submission.

        Social networking sites should be fine, Joining in Facebook group then posting your ads on their wall. Let say you join in a 100 different Facebook group with a minimum of 300 members all about in dating, singles and relationship. Then you can post to their respective wall about your site. Do this for a month and see if it drives traffic to your site.

        Good luck,

    Man stay with POF till you start converting well, then move on to FB ect.
    POF is really cheap. I just logged in and I have 8.00 bucks that's enough to test all day, that is how cheap it is.

    Remember and I have said this over and over, your image is more important than your copy and harder to get approved by any ad network.

    Put one tier of paid membership on your site. That will take care of there rules.
    In fact then you can advertise about how your site has a free option with no restrictions.

    Looking for dating sites where you can do a guest post.

    Write an article, or outsource it, and then they usually allow you to link back to your site at the end.
