Article Subject: Checking online dating site net worth?

Dr. Dato’s Brief:

It maybe interesting to our readers to know how much net worth some of the dating sites that you so painfully and scrupulously sign-up are actually worth if they were to be sold to the public.

Although there are no hard and fast rules for doing a valuation of websites, the business-centric people of this world get very excited by this field because it involves money. Money floats around all the time and we cannot get rid of it, we see it in the news and watch the rise and fall of the dow, how oil prices fluctuate with major events in the middle east and so forth.

Some interesting sites that I came across, actually tries to put a figure on a websites worth based on their own factors and so out of curiosity, I plugged in some numbers for well known dating sites. Here are some figures that came out of the site…

• Eharmony - $19,508,241
• Match - no data
• Plentyoffish - $123,812,183

As you can see eharmony pales in comparison to plentyoffish and this is because the site only takes into account the traffic data of the web over anything else. You ask any respectable business men how much eharmony is worth, they will be speaking in the billions say, $0.5 billion.
