Article Subject: First look at the dating review site - Topdatingpicks.com
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
The Topdatingpicks.com on first glance looks attractive with a good design showing a listing of the top dating sites along with readers votes and reviews. This is unlike other review sites that I have seen where the endorsement of the site is usually from the review site itself and due to the affiliation of the dating companies can be rather skewed.
What makes Topdatingpicks.com more believable is that they have listings of free dating sites which have many reviews written about them. It was interesting reading on my part where the views for some of the leading free dating sites were fairly negative primarily reflected in their experiences of people they had met on the site.
Unlike many of the other review sites where match.com usually comes out tops, in this case, perfectmatch.com appears to be the front contender for the best dating site.

DatingSitesReviews.com - how good is it? - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Saturday, March 19th, 2011
Article Subject: DatingSitesReviews.com - how good is it?
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
I was reviewing some dating sites that offer users the ability to choose the best online dating sites for their needs and came across one that pops up in the Google search fairly often called datingsitesreviews.com.
When you first enter the site, you are immediately taken back by the huge amounts of information on the home page but on second glance, the page has been structured in a way for users to locate the information that they are looking for. Being a review site, the site naturally promotes all the affiliated paid dating sites, websites need to make money and this is one way!
The problem with this is that the site can be biased towards the paid dating sites without giving any fair references or reviews to the free dating sites which often do not have affiliate programs. However, if you scan down the left column of the page, you will come across a section where it does list a number of free dating sites under the category ‘Free Dating Sites’. Unlike other review sites, it does have a somewhat up to date information on the active dating sites, since many dating review sites have very very old listings including sites that have been dead for many years.

A word about dating review sites - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato
Saturday, February 26th, 2011
Article Subject: A word about some online dating review sites
Dr. Dato’s Brief:
Today the main theme of my postings seem to be focussed on the advertising segment of online dating and I thought I would pursue this further which could be of use to my readers.
As I mentioned in my previous post, contextual advertising really hits home very highly targeted adverts to the page you are browsing based on your behavioral analysis.
Since online dating sites have been doing very well based on the large yearly gains made by companies such as match, eharmony etc. it is only fair to say that the ‘cottage industries’ supporting these sites will also move up the scale. Such marketing sites include review sites, advice and relationship sites, press releases, blogs, newsfeed, tv, radio, contextual advertising and more.
I wanted to focus today on some of the review sites and to make some of the users more aware of their motives.
You will come across review dating sites that aggressively pushes their website through many channels such as sponsored linkings, search engine positioning etc and you need to be careful what you are dealing with here. Such sites include this one called top10bestdatingsites.com which claims to do comparison tests on the top dating sites and steer you to the dating sites that they have listed on their sites.
You have probably noticed on TV when you see a drug commercial and at the end of the ad. they would say something like, ‘taking so and so drug, can lead you to vomiting, suicidal tendencies, dizziness…’ and so forth.
If the same were to apply to these types of review sites, it would read as, ‘we cannot guarantee that you will find your perfect date as we have implied, because we are here just to make money, if you did click on any of the so called ‘top dating site’ links that we have provided, you will be doing us a great favor, making us money and making our affiliated dating company lots of money too’.
Don’t believe me?
Check out this review of zoosk as opposed to top10bestdatingsites.com review of this site. Also the rating they have of the site to the left is completely false!
