Longevity
I tried using this site for a good few hours and I found numerous matches that is compatible with me.
The site however, needs some time in finding the compatible matches, however, like all sites it will take some time for me to decide the effectiveness of this site.
I am though, expecting a good response from other members.

Paid Dating Sites Review – eHarmony.com - Part 6
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Conclusion
eHarmony.com has come to be a trusted name in all the matchmaking sites and you get a sense of this when using the site.
The look and feel of the whole site is attractive with a blue background
The registration process is extremely lengthy and you need to fill all the questions for making the compatible matches work well for you. However, you can save registration in the middle and redo it at a later time.
Messaging is not a great feature of this site and needs to be improved. You can send only mails and ice breakers and you need to subscribe to use all of its features.
Member base is good and you are likely to find some good matches for you considering the enormous pool of members.

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 10 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Article Subject: 10. Make your search work for you
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Now the ’snippets’ of the search results page (SERPs) that you want to look at and make sure to read what is there before clicking to your heart’s content.
The snippet has not come about by random, there is some logic to the way it has been structured.
The first line which is in bigger text than the body of the snippet are the exact words pulled from the title tag of the home page of the website displayed. So assume that you had a ‘free dating website’, then you could choose a title like ‘100% Free Dating Site’ or more specifically ‘Free Dating Site for Seniors’.
The next two lines of the snippet are text that has been pulled off the home page content of the website and usually resides in the meta tags of the html code of the page.
The third line contains information to ‘quick links’ that are accessible from the home page and displayed here on the home page for quick and direct access to the points of interest on the other parts of the site.
The fourth line is the actual link of the site, basically the domain name or url of the website and is followed by the ‘Cached’ and ‘Similar links. The Cached link provides a snapshot of the website at a previous point in time taken by Google and the Similar link shows you other related sites that have references from the snippet site.

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 9 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Article Subject: 9. Searching is the key to great things
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
When you typed in ‘free dating sites’, you will see a page with probably about 10 listings unless you have the returned set (SERP) to be at 100, in which case you will have hundred listed in one page. If you are used to scrolling and scanning quickly, then you may find increasing the displayed result sets in the advanced search section will be beneficial to you.
As we have learnt, the main area of focus are the ‘organic’ results that have been returned by Google. You will notice that each result or ’snippet’ as Matt Cutts of Google likes to put it points to information directly related to a website. The fortunate few of the websites that appear in the organic listings have been very well analyzed by Googles search engine algorithm and placed there as the most important matches representative of those group of keywords.
If you do believe in Googles ‘faith’ in delivering those results then you only need to go through a handful of those websites on those pages to find the website you are looking for. From statistics of user searches, it has been shown that most users do in fact click through the links that appear on the home page and a small minority will go through the other pages.
I would recommend to examine the websites in probably 3 pages of the results.
check at least 3 pages of the results to locate good websites

Using search engines to locate good free dating sites - Part 8 - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
Article Subject: 8. Searching is the key to great things
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Previously we did a simple search for a keyword and submitted this to Google and saw some of the ‘useful’ tricks that Google has up it’s sleeves. If you are more alert to the way Google operates on the keywords and phrases you type into the search engine box, it will make you a better searcher than most.
Since we are trying to locate the best free dating sites that meet your needs, why not simply type ‘free dating sites’ into the search engine and see what is returned? Naturally one can do this but there is more information to be gleaned from just a few keywords and also the information that is returned in the search engine results page (SERPs).
If you typed those keywords into Google search engine, you will get a returned result sets that maybe different to what I would get. This is because google has several data centers that has algorithms that are not consistently in sync with each other. This is not to say that the results of each will be bad or worse from each other, it just means that their algorithms on the search engines change all the time to keep up with the rapid changes of the web. If this were not the case, then you are likely to see websites that have an outage or websites that have their domain dropped and not the most current information.
This is more so in the area of news, where it changes very rapidly, however, in free dating sites, you can assume that a majority of the sites are not doing anything meteoric in the space of a few minutes.
the world wide web is an interconnection of many websites and google has to be aware of it all
