Free dating sites - what does it mean to the average user? - Online Dating Briefs by Dr. Dato

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.

Once the registration and profile is complete, you are ready to search for other members, reading blogs, reading and writing forum, watching videos, searching by tags.
Searching profile is very simple, you need to type what you are looking and you get the results you want.
Search result comes up with profile picture and brief description of person and that shows distance of that person from you place that’s cool.
Once you click on your selected profile, it comes up with all the complete details of the person on one page.
The feature that I like the most on this page is one can connect with that person by sending message, wink, and many more gestures or simply send the mail.

The menu is very simple and intuitive as home, people, blog, forum, events, and quizzes.
Home page is well compiled and shared by search, blog, forum and videos.
The menu which I feel is unique is quizzes, this menu helps user to create quiz on topic which they like and that can be seen by other users who can participate in the quiz.
Forum is the menu where user can start the discussion of his interested topics and also search for any answers to questions that a user has.
In video section you can give path of video you like from youtube.
You can view video of other users.
Tag is the menu where user can find profile, video discussion forum containing that tag.
All and all must to log on for looking for online dating.

Plentyoffish.com
This is very simple site and I call it a cute website when it comes to online dating.
Though it does not have wide range of features as Matchdoctor.com however the compilation is good.
First time you login to the website after registration, gives you the feeling that you are logging into an email account with buttons such as “Check Mail” rather login box.
Once the profile has been created (similar to the other free dating websites), you are ready to search for people local and afar to you.
Searching a profile has been kept very simple and shows the bare minumum of information only showing the picture and would have preferred more description about the user.
