Smartphones has changed the way we do search for online singles seeking potential dates on free online dating websites. Now more and more singles are looking for their date while on the go. JumpTrends - Research and Demographic from Jumpdates.com has sampled a year’s data to see how much impact smartphones has made with users.

Mobile traffic on Jumpdates since April, 2011 has been increasing steadily at a rate of 10% per year. However December, 2011 saw a dip of 20% in mobile traffic that could explain that singles were enjoying the festive season and keeping away from free online dating websites.

Jumpdates.com has launched a free mobile dating app in the month of December, 2011 which became very popular amongst online singles. The mobile traffic during the first two months i.e. in January, 2012 and February, 2012 has seen a rise of 30% and 26% respectively as compared to December, 2011. But, by March, 2012 has seen the strongest growth happening for online singles as it shows a whopping 20% growth over the previous month of February, 2012. This is 400% increase in overall mobile traffic since April 2011 on free online dating websites, Jumpdates.

Giving an early glimpse into the year 2012 we expect the number of visits from computer users to the website will be out-numbered by mobile visits and in some cases like PlentyofFish.com it has already happened.
