Free Singles Dating

Free singles dating has been around for a long time. But are the free singles sites worth it? What are the pro's and cons? What are the success rates for meeting a potential partner on a free singles sites? And how can a free site be truly free? Where's the catch?

Firstly there are no catches for the 100% free dating sites. These free sites aim to raise revenue by placing adverts on their pages. You have probably seen the small text ads running across or down one side of the site. They can be identified by the reference to 'Google Ads' . Every time a visitor clicks on one of the ads the website owner is paid a small commission by Google. The amount of commission they are paid varies from site to site. These ads are shown as text links or banner links to other websites usually within the same area of products or services.

Advertising links are quite sophisticated these days and there is a type of text ad that runs across the top or bottom of a page and appears to look as though it is part of the menu system to navigate around the website! There has been some criticism of these types of ads because they are duping visitors into clicking on adverts. The visitor is expecting to move to another page within the website and is annoyingly being redirected to a completely different website!

Another way free sites generate income is by creating reviews or recommendations to other singles sites. Again they get paid when a visitor clicks on the link to the other site and signs up for a paid membership.

A really busy high traffic free singles site can generate a large amount of income from advertising links on their website. One of the largest and most successful free singles dating sites is Plenty of Fish.com

Plenty of Fish is a completely free singles site with millions of members and is fully financed by very discreet advertising within it's pages. The owner has been listed as one of the few Internet millionaires worth over $10 million before the age of 30! And the site is still run from home! It has been quoted that the revenue from adverts on Plenty of Fish.com runs to $10,000 per day!!
