While reading the SEOmoz Search Engine Optimization blog I came across 5 Ways Being An SEO Helps You With Online Dating. For all the experts talking about writing a great profile, plead read this and incorporate into your advice.

Top Dating Tip: Users will often use the same photo to sign up to loads of different sites. So use a service like TinEye to do a reverse image search on potential suitor’s profile photos. What people write on social media profiles and what they write on their personal blog are two very different things!

Been doing some research on SEO for personal ads and came across this gem:

“Apps are just (better) websites, because they don’t have to give a shit about SEO.”

Remember when we used to have web pages that were for users, not spiders? f*cking keywords everywhere drives me bananas.

A comment on Techcrunch

I couldn’t agree more. Look at dating site homepages, filled with SEO-friendly text and keywords. The requirement to cover web pages with keywords will change over time as search engines figure out new ways to ascertain relevance. I can’t wait.

Remarkable use of A/B Testing from the Daily Conversions blog’s Creative for Panhandling. Great example of how testing your personal ad “pitch” can lead to better results.

Bottom line: Change up personal ad headlines and initial paragraph often, rotate photos and log in often.
