Tom Jaffee and I spoke about Marketing to Singles at the Florida Restaurant Show. Thanks to everyone who shared ways for dating sites to partner with restaurants and bars to reach the singles market. I’ll have more to say about how dating sites can earn ad revenue from restaurants, bars and entertainment locations soon.
I spent a lot of time at WooMe and OmniDate last week. Someone at WooMe mentioned that WooMe Partners With IG to Bring Live Video Introductions to Brazil.

I’m seeing a huge uptick in domainers trying to unload their dating urls. I heard a few top 10 dating sites have acquired new urls recently. I don’t think singles really care about the url. If a dating site was called Imuglyfatandobnoxious.com and it was packed with great singles near you, it would do well. Sure there is the SEO stuff, which I hope will change because most dating sites have gone completely overboard with paragraphs of text on the home page.
Google will make this go away soon enough, should be packed away in meta-data hidden in the <head> tag anyways, but that is another conversation entirely.
Along that vein, are any dating sites looking to implement features based on HTML 5? The geo-location is interesting.

Use the skill in penning your profile to make interesting reading. Move away from the regular format and communicate your life story and what you hope for in the forma of a story.

Utilise your skills in the course of exploratory communication that you start up with people to find out more about them but avoid sticking to a tone of banter for too long after that. Humour and lightness help you make an interesting impression and you will find people responding to you for it.
Once you have identified a person who might suit you, move to communication that is more serious in nature. Communicate your preferences and activities and find out whether this is a person with whom you will be able to spend free time or can have a good conversation with. Both are important and you will have to weigh whether diverse interests are going to affect your capacity to maintain a lasting relationship. Appreciate the fact that you are not likely to find a suitable partner on the basis of these superficialities as you go along with your assessment.
