Top Free Dating Sites of 2011…Can They Still Deliver in 2012
Monday, February 27th, 2012
Jumpdates.com started the successful series of reviewing top free dating sites of 2011 in January of last year. After one year when we look back we realize that we did hundred’s of reviews comprising of free dating sites, paid dating sites and niche dating sites, not only from USA but from around the world.
Every free dating sites review posted on Jumpdates.com was an unbiased one as we have thoroughly tested and adopted the dating website standard for the top free dating sites. We saw how the worlds biggest free dating sites “PlentyOfFish” which had a much needed facelift was simple and yet attracts millions of online singles and how the niche dating sites “Testbud.fm” being a music driven dating website matches online singles who shared the same taste for music. There are top free dating sites of 2011 that connect niche online singles like the physically challenged, HIV positive single and much more. We saw many of these come on the market last year, but many also failed to pull the required audience. This could be partly due to the intense competition to attract online singles and the dominating positions of the top dating websites.
The online dating game is an ever changing canvas and this trend will continue at an even faster rate in 2012. With 1 in 5 couples now routinely finding love through online, there is much room for expansion. The question arises for those top free dating sites of 2011 reviewed by Jumpdates that showed promise in 2011 can still deliver to the online singles in 2012. The ingredients are simple, just provide a platform for more matches, more relationships, more dates and ideally more marriages.

Free Dating Sites – A brief study in search
Sunday, February 26th, 2012
I was conducting some Google keyword analysis recently and came across what online singles usually type into the search engines when it comes to looking for love online. Apart from the usual brand names that users are familiar with such as match and eharmony, many of our lonely singles are actually searching for free dating sites. It is not surprising when you look at the top searches that they are conducting daily usually point to free online dating websites but with a difference. Most as can be seen in table 1 are looking for the very best dating sites that also happen to be free.
Google Analytics - tabular format of holy grail of free dating sites
If you look through the list, you will also notice that most users would also go as far as to type ‘absolutely’, ‘top’, ‘free messaging’ etc. into their search for free dating sites. The fact that users are adding these additional descriptors only explains the importance of what they are looking for. The fact that they also rely on Google to return the correct types of dating websites that they are looking for explains their trust and belief in the Google search engine. Fortunately for many, Google does indeed present all these lonely singles with the best search engine results possible.

Online Dating Singles Downfall – The Inside Scoop
Friday, February 24th, 2012
Online dating has become an integral part of singles scouring the internet these days. These singles keep looking for the best online matches to succeed in their dating quest and they keep hovering from one free dating sites to another. Although there is nothing wrong in doing this, the real problem starts when even after trying several dating sites they are still single and they pin the blame on dating sites for not making it happen. Well in rare cases this maybe true, but after screening thousand of profiles and spotting messaging trends Mayur Vyas, Content Manager of Jumpdates.com found that majority of online singles do not fill 20% of their information in their online dating profile. It’s like trying to make a jet fly without any jet fuel. An impossible task!
Online Dating Singles Downfall – The Inside Scoop
Take a step back and think about relationships between a man and a woman. It’s impossible for a relationship to succeed if both of the people within the relationship do not try to understand each other and work things out. It is an ever unfolding relationship between two persons that bonds them together. In the same token, the lack of information that one presents oneself on their dating profile, will lead to people skipping over the profile no matter how attractive you may look.
There are common errors that online singles make from the word go that results in the downfall of their important dating mission.
1. Not filling the complete information while creating the online dating profile
This is the most common mistake made by online singles. You need to make sure that your online dating profile speaks for you. Profiles with limited or incomplete information send a negative message about yourself, either you do not have any thing to say or you do not want to disclose information that may speak badly about yourself. Why would someone be interested in a profile which just have the basic info of age and photo?

2. When online singles become broadcasters
Yes, it’s true. It has been observed that singles tend to send a series of similar messages to almost every profile they like. According to them it saves them time and they can reach many online singles. But, unfortunately they don’t understand that every profile is different from one another and sending customized messages could earn more replies in the long run.
3. Don’t be a spammer
Messages like
“Hello, I am James Joe am 57 years old hope you don’t mind my age is just a number i have one friend, his name is Fred he just get me through this online dating right now i am here looking for a long term relationship that can lead to marriage and i will have the woman as my soul mate then i read your profile and i am interested in it”.
This may sound fine but if you analyze the world “Hello” at the beginning, it can raise questions like is it only me that he is referring to? As this appears to be a generalized message and makes other users feel that they could be one of many the gent has sent the message to. It makes you feel less important in the eyes of the messenger.
4. Don’t Wait, Make your Own Success Story
Waiting for other online singles to find you and send you the introduction message is never going to work if every think like this. It could be a never ending wait. If you are serious then you should give enough time to your online profile every week for finding the best match for you and sending messages according to their profiles. Sending personalize messages increases your chances of getting replies more often. A good tip is say to yourself that you will go through 10 online dating profiles each day or a week and send out 20 messages averaging 2 to each profile. Remember that bigger things can happen by taking smaller steps.

shakespeare-got-it-wrong-is-in-the-online-dating-profile-names
1. Go Very Slow
Your intent to join any free dating sites is to meet someone special, find a dating partner and falling in love. You should give yourself a good amount of time before settling on your online profile name. You should not choose dating headlines like “Happy Go Lucky”, “Never A Dull Moment” or “I am Easy Going” as these do not impress many people. On the other hand names like “Dating Casanova” or “Perfect Date” would show that you are too obsessed with yourself in the whole world of dating.
2. Do some Head Banging
Get a pen and paper in hand and write qualities you have, also take note of what your friends and peers think of you. Doing this exercise would be very useful as it can give you unique and creative ideas. Keep in mind that your online dating profile name should depict your special traits and attract more online singles to visit your profile.
3. Shake Well Before You Finalize
Now you have everything on paper start thinking about the right mix and match of different names to pull something together, you maybe surprised. Joining different words would be a fun experience to creating the best online dating profile name.
4. Things to Avoid
There are few things that you should avoid while creating your online dating profiles. Do not use your date of birth or year in which you born like many online single do for e.g. “Mike24” or “Adam1982”. This shows that you were in hurry while creating your online dating profile or did not think better for yourself. Do not use pick up lines like “Yes, I’m single, thanks for Looking” this show you just did a quick Google to search your online dating profile name.
Online dating profile name is not the only important aspect of your online dating profile, but certainly the one that is in need of a lot of attention. The next hurdle is to create the perfect online dating profile and attract potential online dating singles.

Hookup to Free Online Dating Sites to Meet Offline… You Can’t Replace Face-To-Face Communication
Tuesday, February 7th, 2012
The recent report published on “The Wall Street Journal” claims that online dating scene is not going to find you Mr. or Mrs. Right. Certainly this will raise a lot of eyebrows for those sitting on the commanding chair of main online dating sites and run a dedicated section of “Dating Success Stories” on their sites and put a question mark on entire online dating industry which is worth $2.1 billion.
Go online and Meet offline
The report published on “The Wall Street Journal” shows that online dating is suitable to those that do not have free time or single parents or those who do not get enough opportunities in the real life. The report also raised serious questions as to how can these dating sites show a perfect match by matching few traits like age, height, weight education and income. In fact they do a simple similarity matching, but to make things more complicated they refer to it as complex matching algorithm. While doing matches one cannot predict the success of any relationship but they can only say how they are alike.
After reading the report, Jumpdates comes to the conclusion that these dating sites give you ample opportunity to find the best match for yourself, but turning a casual dating to romance and a relationship is dependent on the individuals needs. To make this transition, online singles must need to meet face-to-face and spend time together just as you would meet any other person for a date. Mayur Vyas – Free dating sites expert at Jumpdates says “Online Dating Sites can not find a soul mate for you, they can only give you opportunity and options to find your mate. Now it’s up to the people of the site to take the next step and meet up with the individual and try to understand and get to know each other better”.
A psychology professor as Northwestern University, Eli Finkel has similar stand and added that not to waste time in doing extensive research and going thru thousands of profiles since this can make your selection all that more difficult. Choose the profile that attracts you and by all means go on your first official date to know if that person carries the same persona that they have shown on their online dating profile. These words are very true as Eli Finkel has done a lot of research on Initial Romantic Attraction, Interpersonal Conflict, Self-Control and many relationship issues.
Online singles who lives an active dating life has got the quick and easy means in the form of “Mobile Dating App” using Smartphones. All online single should take note that “Hookup to Free Online Dating Sites to Meet Offline… You Can’t Replace Face-To-Face Communication”.
