I can never out spend Match.com eharmony and others with their 10 million a month marketing budget. Plentyoffish grows because it works and works far better than paid sites and has far higher quality. The industry is to focused on extracting money from low quality singles. In the offline world men spend hundreds on hookers and strip clubs etc. In the online world these users pay the most and provide the highest revenue user. Its no mistake that dating sites resort to T&A and enticing video ads to recruit these users. I send hundreds of paid orders to dating sites and the highest converting members tend to be my "lowest quality" ones. The trend lately has been to advertise paid dating sites as soft core porn to men, and "relationships" to women.

I wish we could find an article that tells us how much they are paying for advertising. I have yet to see an advertisement for Plentyoffish though? Do they really advertise? Keep up the good work Jason Great article, I didnt know match fell that far and I certainly didnt know there was a bigger site than plenty of fish.
