More proof that most high-volume dating sites are more interested in low-quality traffic than anything resembling a quality dating experience. Singlesnet has resorted to the ass-tastic ad campaigns that True and Mate1 originated on social networks over a year ago. What are the chances that the ad traffic is gender-targeted and women see a naked hunky guy?
You know what bothers me most? The lame Window 3.1 search interface they threw into the ad, looks like a beginner designer got too excited looking at clip art and got distracted. Then again, what do I know, I bet the link to Singlesnet in this post will be the number one outgoing link from here tomorrow.

Maybe there is still some money in it but that is mainly for the big boys from the beginning of the internet companies that have a lot of goodwill.
I have requested numerous times for them to cease and desist using the keywords “looking for love” in their search engine listings, but they have not responded to my requests. Just because they are the “big boys” doesn’t mean they can disrespect the intellectual property rights of others.
We’d love to trademark “christian dating”, but if we got that, the entire trademark process would fall apart.
