LoveHappens isn’t happening anymore.
How could a site with a million visitors just shut down? Could it be because the service was terrible from the start and they couldn’t figure out how to monetize it?
Now thats targeted advertising. Contextual ads triggered by images on the page. Why are dating site ads so poorly targeted?
Spark Networks redesigns. A reader chimes in:
Spark Networks has changed profile screens to a tabbed layout. All the info that was in one screen is now distributed across four tabs, requiring the user to click three times to view what previously required no clicks. And oddly, clicking among the tabs also forces the pictures to navigate in lock step, so the clicking the second tab, Lifestyle, changes the picture to the second picture (or blank if there is no second picture).
I submitted some negative feedback to Jdate regarding this and they an incredibly stupid response…. ” Thank you very much for your email about our new profile changes. We have re-designed our profiles by moving to a tabbed format in order to keep our site technically current and competetive with other companies in our field.”
I noticed this at the bottom of JDate pages. “Spark Networks Limited does not conduct background checks on the members or subscribers of this website.” Looks like Spark has decided to add the disclaimer to all sites and all pages instead of worrying about which state a visitor is coming from.
I feel so much safer now! Herb Vest must be very happy. Speaking of True.com, traffic is down 62% over this time last year while PlentyOfFish is up the same amount.
