After reaching the half-million-member milestone in January, 2004, MingleMatch doubled number of memberships in only nine months.”Reaching this one-million profile benchmark validates the efforts of the MingleMatch team in creating the right environment to attract and retain quality singles,” said Ben Peterson, president of MingleMatch. From September 2003 to September 2004, paid sign-ups on MingleMatch sites increased 133 percent. MingleMatch is a privately held company that manages and maintains demographically targeted singles communities online. With more than 20 niche online dating sites, MingleMatch provides its services to hundreds-of-thousands of single men and women.
1,000,000 / 20 sites = average of 50,000 members per site. If each site grew twofold in 9 months, sites averaged 25,000 members each in January. No indication on original paid subs to use as a base to give some perspective to the 133% growth claim.
