Photos can be uploaded from your computer and free users can post only 3 photos including their profile picture.

If you are gold member then you can post 5 pictures and for platinum members they can post 10 pictures on this site.

Browsing and searching can be done but you may feel its odd that you cannot search for your match according to your criteria.

The site only has designed some criteria from which they will display the matches for you, rather than you choosing.

The messaging feature is good and you can send messages to the members after adding them to your cart.

There are limitations for messaging also and if you are a free user then you can send only 10 messages per day.

For gold and platinum members they can send 20 and 30 messages respectively and the cost seems reasonable and you may want to take the plunge.

Member base is good but still needed to improve for gaining ranking and there are no other features that will make the site somewhat compelling or interesting.

Overall, I can say that you can try this website a one time for finding your Mr. Right on MrRight.com.au.

Article Subject: Free dating sites - what does it mean to the average user?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

Most people when they sign up to Jumpdates usually type in ‘free dating sites’ in the search box of Google, Yahoo and Bing. The users will rely on the accuracy of the search engine to return relevant results related to free dating sites and is often a measure of the search engines ‘quality’.

I started thinking what represents ‘free dating sites’ to people, in other words what is the purpose or aim of the user when they type in ‘free dating sites’. My thinking is that they are obviously looking for dating sites that are free and most likely totally free with the intention of signing up to the dating service offered by the results from the search engines.

If you type the words ‘free dating sites’ into the Google search engine, you mainly get all the free dating sites on the top 10 results or so, however, I did notice that eharmony showed up in the results. We all know that eharmony is not a free dating site, so why did Google list this dating site near the top?

Upon further investigation, I discovered that Google did not in fact take the entire words in its literal sense but actually picked out snippets of the words from sections on the site. One could argue if that results in a good selection of results, but the fact that Google did pick out a dating site is credit to them.

Article Subject: What happened to all those yesteryear online dating sites?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

As I was going through some more research on dating review website, I realized that some of these sites still had information on websites that were no longer available, either they had wound down due to lack of business or gobbled up by the bigger players.

Some notable names that sprung to my mind were the following:

Dreammates.com
Yahoo Personals
Kiss.com
Udate.com

Dreammates.com was a free dating site but they closed their doors back in July 2009. If you have been in the dating scene for a while (it can be tough finding the right partner :-)) you will also know about Yahoo Personals. Match.com purchased Yahoo Personals or did some business trade with them back in 2010 but for a while Yahoo Personals appeared to be doing well.

Match.com seems to be gobbling everything it can find in its path like the recent acquisition of OkCupid.

The other two dating sites Kiss.com and Udate.com were sold to Match.com back around early 2000 for a tidy sum of over $100 million to who nonetheless, Match.com.

Match has become so big (maybe arrogant) that they wont even allow you to venture on their site without signing up or filling up some form as can be seen from the picture below.

match become too big for its own comfort?

Dr. Dato’s Brief: Conclusion

«« Previous

You may think that you can benefit by not adding ‘dates’ to your post but these actions in my opinion are based on myths which I have tried to explain.

By adding dates to your active dating blog helps the user appreciate the dates when the article was posted so they can make an assessment of when and why they should read it, it is not for you to dictate what they should do. If you do have another motive for doing this, it is very likely that the end user will come to know about it and you will lose credibility with your readers even if you are pushing out constant streams of posts.

On the other hand, by withholding date information, you may find yourself in a sticky position as many websites have come to learn from Googles most recent algorithm changes in the way it deals with original content.

If you are true to your content then everything else follows including whatever information that would be useful to your reader and should be made available.

By shifting the onus onto the owners of the website by Bing and Yahoo will spell big trouble for them and they should change this policy. Google has no issues with my site, and do you honestly think that they will stop crawling a site because it cannot go beyond the first line of code?

Google did not get to where they are by thinking like this, they have brought tools and services that brings a benefit to the end user and they just don’t stop there. They don’t make the lives of the users or the webmasters more difficult than it already is.

Going back to what I was saying earlier, that the idea of omitting important data to end users such as the ‘date of the post’ is bad for several reasons when it comes to Google. If you think that Google is not going to pick up the date when you first registered the post, you are quite mistaken. Google bots now typically visit web sites several times a day, particularly if there is much changing content on the site. It will already have in its database the time it retrieved new content and will deal with it as such.

If you have not decided to add your date to your dating blog, be certain that Google will do this at a future date in time to make it easy for their users. Googles ultimate goal to provide the best benefit to the end user and we know that an end user can become increasingly frustrated not to find a valid date against your blog.
