“…something like 18% of Internet users were responsible for the majority of ad clicks…”

OK. I find this very encouraging. My click rates usually run a bit lower than that. It’s nice to have something to aspire toward.

Definetly many of this pictures are fake, are not real couples, members of their sites, and I am curious how many of this women with huge breast picture are members of dating site and how many are adult website pictures.

T&A ads are here to stay not only in the dating industry but a lot of others as well. Since most banners are static (and with no audio) companies need to use images that grab attention.

The other problem is what else can you stick in a small 468×60 space that promotes a dating site and what it potentially offers, besides good looking men and women?

Sure but it’s like driving your car with 20 octane gas as opposed to 92. T&A ads certainly drive traffic but here I go again asking the industry to try a little harder to reach those 60 million people who think the current ads are a total turn-off.

If that was true they wouldn’t be doing it.

Most dating site ads are, as you say David, embarrassing. And if they are not embarrassing they are cringe-making: photos of fake couples grinning at each other like tooth whitening ads. The target audience is much more savvy than most companies think – let’s get the real-o-meter out!
