Question of the day:
If you were about to launch a new dating site, how would you go about seeding your database with profiles? Is there a CD of fake profiles out there you can buy? The pr0n industry has offered content CD’s for years. $500 and your site is ready to go. Recently, adult content syndication companies have added RSS feeds that couldn’t be easier to publish across thousands of websites. Where is the personals version of this?

Once upon somebody said “You get what you pay for”
Many online dating / social networking sites are offering a free-service / free-membership but
if
a person DOES NOT pay or DOES NOT want to pay for the service it clearly MEANS
He or She are NOT INTERESTED in serious dating / networking.
A client MUST HAVE only one reason to pay a fee: this fee will work
- as a barrier to avoid free users, who could hurt other clients’ feelings. If a client is paying SOONER OR LATER, will want to contact COMPATIBLE REAL PERSONS.
- as a barrier to avoid multiple / several profiles posted by the same person.
- as a barrier to avoid a fake profile invented by a felon / convict / other.
Online dating / social networking USERS will metamorphose to CLIENTS only if the service has enough quality (as actual Offline Chains, that instead of disappearing, have good health).

Hi !
I was chilling out in the chat rooms today and saw that TRUE has had a lot of new girls join. I have some friends who have just started winking, and they are telling me how much fun they are having.
Because I work at True, I know firsthand how many more women in your area have joined. So it’s the perfect time to send one of them a wink. It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s a nice friendly way to say hello. All you have to do is look for the smiley wink button ? next to someone’s profile ? and click on it!
If you need any help, write me back and I’ll be glad to talk with you!
