Plenty Of Fish Dating Site Phenomenon (II)

Plenty of Fish is a plain-looking free online dating site that lists personals from people across the U.S. and Canada. You can search by location, age, interests, smoking and drinking status, body type, ethnicity, and other basic criteria. Plenty of Fish also has a "rating" feature which lets you rate other users' pictures and ads. The site is owned by a Canadian company, and may be heavier on Canadian members.

 

The growth since then has been massively viral, and exponential. Markus now makes over $10,000 a day from the ad listings on the site, and has six hundred million page views a month. What's unusual is, he still operates it from his Vancouver apartment, and refuses to take venture capital funding.

 

All online dating sites work basically the same way. Many allow you to create a profile, browse and search the site for free. Some even allow free "winks" or '"sparks" to indicate your interest in someone.

Mary :

I have used Plentyoffish.com and I like it. There are many other ones as well that do the same thing and look a little better design wise than POF. Another good one that has just started up, but looks like it will threaten the top is www.yearningforlove.com. It has all the same features, plus chat rooms for registered members. I think free sites are the way to go and hoperfully they stay free!
