Center For Media Research has posted several charts, including Top Online Personals Destinations, at Home Week ending Jan. 9, 2005 US, and the corresponding demographic data. According to Alexa (which should marginally be trusted as a valid datasource), Myspace actually overtook Match for a while in the middle of December before dropping back. How did Tickl, MySpace and Thefacebook get in the list? And where is Plentyoffish? Just goes to show that traffic ranking is an exact science and several datapoints should be used to get a reasonable view of the leaderboard.
