I have not seen many dating site-specific ad offerings. What other networks are out there that people are using?
I’m not a big fan of text ads for dating sites, I prefer to see a graphical representation of a site to get a better feel for the offering before I click through. Then again, I probably click only 3 ads a week because Firefox blocks out 90% of them except on Google.
