Once again, OKCupid crushes it with this OKTrends article, The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures. I talked to them about this a while back, glad to see them executing some seriously fascinating, entertaining and thorough research.
Client plug: Read the OKCupid blog post about profile photos and then visit DatingHeadshots.com to get your VIP profile photos.
Speaking of photo optimization, given yesterday’s landing page optimization webinar, this got me thinking about dating site profile page optimization. There is a reason why Match has one of the best profile layouts in the business, it’s clean, simple and fairly easy to decipher. But what if there is some kooky layout which is more effective?
Perhaps Herway has something to say about profile pay layouts, especially since they are in Beta. Remember, Always Be Testing.

From experience…just be honest. Be yourself. But I do have to say, that since I put a pic of my cat in as my main profile pic, I have gotten hundreds of views. I have had more than my share of dates, and mostly good. There are ways to weed out the bad ones!
