Review of Paid Dating Site – Indianfriendfinder.com - Part 6
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Member Base
The site has very strong member base probably due to the backing of its bigger brother FriendFinder.
As I searched all members, I found that there are many members that match my criteria but however, they don’t seem to be serious daters.
You will find members from all over the world with all age groups and a majority of them are above 20’s and below 40’s.
Longevity
It is unfair to decide the longevity of any site after visiting it only for a few hours. You should revisit this section as we report on the performance along with all the other sites that we review here.
Ranking Statistics
There is a continuous dip in the members from last one year.
The statistical data shows 69,416 visitors in Jan 2010 which has decreased to 29,806 in Jan 2011.
The site has 49 referring sites out of which 40 sites send more traffic to it and in spite of the decreased visitors, the site enjoys a Google ranking of 7,176.
Scores
| Ease of registration process | 2.5 |
| Look and feel of website | 2 |
| Available features | 2.5 |
| Profile creation & completeness | 2 |
| Matching System | 2.5 |
| Overall Rating | 2.3 |
Conclusion
This is a good site from where you can meet your someone special, although the seriousness of the daters in terms of long-term is a bit questionable.
The look and feel of the website is bright and the combination of red and orange color over white background is somewhat odd but manages to work.
Registration is easy and hassle free and only takes 5 mins. to register.
The site will send you a confirmation mail in which they will send you the username provided by you and password provided by the site.

Review of Paid Dating Site – Indianfriendfinder.com - Part 7
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Login is simple and asks only for your username and password just like any other online dating site.
Customization is easy and you will enjoy customizing your profile on this site.
Photos can be uploaded directly from your computer or you can use your web cam for this.
One the thing that I liked is that you can add and share as many photos as you wish and there is a video upload facility on the site, however, the site should create some rules for photo upload such as nude and provoking pictures.
Browsing and searching for the person is easy but you need to buy a membership for using the other good features of the site.
Messaging gives you the facility of sending hugs, winks, kisses, mails and also chat is available.
The member base is good and you will find interesting profiles on this site, though they might not have the seriousness of other matrimonial sites of India such as Shaadi.com.
If you are searching for the Indians across the world you can try IndianFrienderFinder.com
-The End-

Good ice-breakers for online singles and personals - Part 12 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011
Article Subject: Good ice-breakers for online singles and personals - Part 12
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
We have covered several important steps towards writing the best ‘ice-breakers’ to use in messaging other online dating profiles. Always keep in mind what the reaction of the other person would be if he/she were to read what you have written. Although, it’s not a good idea to make conclusive remarks about the outcome because you never know event the weirdest of messages can be read also!
However, you can avoid the common mistakes made by men when it comes to creating the best ‘opening’ line with another online profile.
In summary, scan the profile of the person you want to message, pick out salient points of the profile such as the women’s interests, hobbies and then say something towards that effect. Also, if possible, introduce yourself with something like “how are you doing today”, “how are you” or even a simple “hello”.
Best of luck!

Good ice-breakers for online singles and personals - Part 10 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Now that we are all clear as to what your profile should be about, lets focus on some technical aspects of the job.
Unfortunately, in current times today, we are so busy with so many hand held gadgets that we are losing touch with our common language skills and as such we take our shorthand communication to the email and of course to our dating profile. This is a very common problem and it is something you will need to address if you fall foul to this, for others, well done, you can proceed to the next post.
Again, there are no excuses for having spelt something incorrectly, because even as we type, the applications are so smart that they will underline the culprit word and even offer you suggestions. As for grammar, this can be a difficult thing to master, particularly if you have never really paid attention to this and you know very well your weaknesses in this area.
Help is at hand here again. If you are suffering from incorrect usage of grammar or pronunciation, there are plenty of tools online that will show you how to better yourself.
We will discuss ways of doing this in the next post.
