Plentyoffish.com Becomes the Fifth Largest Dating Site and Destroys Existing Online Dating Business Model
Plentyoffish.com, the largest free dating service in the world was established merely two years ago. In that short time span, Plentyoffish.com has experienced exponential growth and now accounts for nearly 25% of English speaking Canadian online singles.
Vancouver, Canada (PRWEB) July 5, 2005 -- Plentyoffish.com the largest free
dating service in the world was established merely two years ago. In that short
time span, Plentyoffish.com has experienced exponential growth and now accounts
for nearly 25% of English speaking Canadian online singles.
Markus Frind
CEO and Founder stated, “Originally we wanted to develop an online community
based on the concept of free dating. That it would take off in such leaps and
bounds with minimal effort was not anticipated!”
More than 35,000
Canadian members visit Plentyoffish.com each weekday looking for their perfect
match.
Currently it appears that Plentyoffish.com is the fifth largest
dating site in North America based on daily unique logins. Plentyoffish.com
sparks fear in the heart of the online dating industry. This week alone 100,000
daily unique logins exceeded the previous record of 50,000 daily unique logins
of only three months prior. Match.com, Yahoo.com, Eharmony.com and
Americansingles.com are the only other dating sites suspected to surpass
it.
Radical changes have been brought to the industry by Plentyoffish,
‘radical’ as Plentyoffish is comprised of only one employee. Sites of comparable
size rarely operate with a staff under 50 employees. Technology costs are at a
minimum when compared with AmericanSingles.com whose costs exceed $500,000.
Plentyoffish.com garners the same amount of online traffic while keeping costs
less than $10,000 per month not including advertising.
Michael Jones, CEO
of Userplane, "For a free Website with over 5 million page views daily, and over
35 million page views for the Userplane Webmessenger, it’s incredible that a
single employee company has grown to such a size. A unique entrepreneur,
Markus’s expertise within search engine marketing and online property
management, has created what I would imagine is likely one of the most
profitable dating sites in existence.”
Plentyoffish.com charges nothing
for all of its many services. By contrast most dating sites charge $24.95 to
$49.95 per month. When asked how this affects the industry, CEO Markus Frind
replied, “With the recent success of Plentyoffish.com in the Canadian dating
market, the executives of Lavalife.com, Americansingles.com and other major
dating sites must realize their days are numbered. Who wants to pay when they
can get a superior product for free?"
