Logged In: As you will go for this you will see members who are currently logged in to the site. In short, it displays the list of online members.

Messaging

Messaging feature is not so well crafted on this site.

The site allows only sending of messages to the members and that too if you are a subscription paid member of this site.
The site should really think a lot on improving this section and adding more options for messaging like IM, winks, hugs, kisses etc.
You can also avail the facility of live chat after buying a plan.
However, you can send gift subscription to another member but for this you have to first subscribe member.

How Much It Costs

Photo Scanner: Personally I like this facility but I think that it is unfair to charge for scanning your pictures. You need to pay $10 for your profile picture and $6 for gallery pictures for scanning.

Member Base

The site has got a very healthy member base and you will find members from all around the world.
Many members are ranging in the age groups of 30’s to 60’s. I found many members from US, South Africa and Australia.

Longevity

There are many matches here for my profile but I think I should devote more time on the site to make any further comment on it.
I am expecting a good response from the members.

Ranking Statistics

I have seen a constant decrease in the visitor traffic from last one year. In Feb 2010 the site has 622 visitors while it has decreased to nearly 50% and in Feb 2011 the site has only 397 unique visitors.

There is only a month i.e. July 2010 when the site has crossed the visitor above 2000 and in this month the site has got 2, 874 unique visitors.

The site enjoys Google ranking 77, 558.

Conclusion

The site has many features that are found in a typical dating site but still it needs a strong response from the visitor traffic.
The look and feel of the website is nice. Blue background and white front gives a cooling effect to the eyes. Pink and brown colored buttons gives a multicolor effect to the site.
Registration process is very simple and the site sends you a confirmation mail and you need to complete your profile details for accessing your account.
Login needs your username and password and regarding the customization, you can edit your profile but you will like the section that is displayed nicely in the customization option.

Photos can be uploaded from your computer and you can upload up to 10 pictures.

There are simple rules for photo upload and should be necessary for avoiding nay nudity on the site. These rules make the site atmosphere pleasant.

Browsing is easy and searching for your match is easier as there are many options for making your search specific.

I did not like the messaging section and it needs a lot of improvement.

There are also many missing things like IM, winks, kisses etc.

It is very expensive for finding your match.

Member base is not so strong but still you can find some interesting matches suiting your criteria.

Other features like affiliates are nice and this gives you an opportunity to generate some revenue apart from searching your matches.

If you are ready to spend some bucks for searching your partner then you can go for this site.

It has many features that are absent in other sites and remember the site we have seen today which is datingbuzz.com
