The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

 All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.  

some fresh data from USA Online Dating Sites

The biggest scammers are not from Ghana or Nigeria. They are precisely marketing executives from big sites. They use credit card billing trickery.
Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry for years.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement", not 100% better, 100X better == a big INNOVATION.

PlentyOfFish is transferred to Pof

 I had noticed 4 days ago, the traffic of PlentyOfFish is transferred to Pof. Now all the traffic is concentrated to Pof.

Some sites losing traffic

During Q2 2010 traffic still continued to decline in major paid Online Dating Sites and many Social Networking sites. It is due to the Online Dating Fatigue Phenomenon.

Daters had understood that the entire Online Dating Industry for serious daters in 1st World Countries is a HOAX, performing as a Big Online Casino.
Daters got tired of being scammed with "automatic renewal" of their subscriptions and other "credit-card billing trickery".

Free sites like PlentyOfFish and OkCupid are steady, it seems not growing any more.

Match, Chemistry, True, eHarmony, PerfectMatch, Be2, Parship, Meetic and other paid sites need to wake up and innovate. Or die and leave room for new opportunities.
