I’ve received a handful of duplicate emails from a company I’m not going to mention, promoting their cheap dating sites and huge profile database. Why bother building your database the hard way? Just buy a CD of unreliable profiles. Great business decision.
Starting you own dating site may take years of time and thousands of dollars. However, with Datingsite Builder, for only $29.95 per month, no setup fee, no commissions, and no software to purchase, you can start in a minute.
We have over million of profiles and still growing. About 80% of them are active and 50% with photos. No matter you already have a website or want to start from scratch, our profile network will help!
What sort of of junk profiles is this company selling? 80% of a million is not a million, and who in their right mind is going to seed a dating site with profiles w/o photos?
If you think that’s a good idea you should go hit yourself in the head with a brick. Several times. And then go do something else you’re more suited to, like pyramid schemes.
Any time you want to buy profiles you need to be asking very specific questions about the validity of email addresses, staleness, mailing address and especially credit card information if available. Since you can’t do that with free sites, you might as well sink the money you were going to most likely waste into something useful like marketing unless your confidence level in the seller is high enough to offest the sinking feeling that you’re lighting a big pile of cash on fire.
