<<< Ten years of online dating – past, present and future - part 2

It wasn’t that long ago when other companies were joining in this lucrative bandwagon of providing desperately needed traffic to these websites hungry for new members.

These websites were setup as purely link farms and offered traffic to the dating websites based on their excellent rankings in search engines.

The sites were popular only because of a ‘flaw’ in the search engine algorithms that ranked sites according to the number of links hosted on the site.

So for popular words such as ‘online dating’, these sites would have so many listed on their site that they would be consistently listed at the top of the search engine results.

Google knew that this was not the best set of results to present to their users as the sites were artificially inflated due to the many links hosted on the site.
