    Not really trying to link bait, but I need to knpow if i should add more content or even more offers to my page here.

    Also give me a critique on the domain name and if you think it is ok.

    I would recommend not to start a dating site on a .info :|

    I agree! Seems unprofessional.. all I think about .info is sites for adsense :p

    The main pic of your site is broken BTW..

    yeah...why is there so much white space down at the bottom there. I like sharp corners and maybe borders would look better on your design at the top. That's just me though.

    I'm not a fan of text on a coloured background but that's just me.

    The "High Safety Margin" section is quite big. You may want to break it down into smaller paragraphs to make it more easily scannable.

    The "search the web" section at the bottom seems really out of place. I would try to blend it in more.

    --

    More content is definitely better unless you're using pure PPC and want nothing more than a click-through.

    Dating is a huge niche. Have you thought about chunking it down? I.e. Have seperate sections/sites for 'black dating', 'hispanic dating' and so on, with seperate targeted content for each niche?

    Hello,

    The site looks good. BTW which script you using? And as Amit said , dating sites heavily rely on returning visitors so just get a .com/.org/.net domain and transfer your site there :)

    The info text provided on dating is awful small for a site that's supposed to be providing info in addition to providing service options.

    Otherwise, the site looks slick and would work fine on another domain as previously noted.

    if you can actually drive traffic, why not start your own white label dating site? then use the .info as a content site for dating tips, etc, to help promote your white label. and i'm not much of a fan of white text on blue backgrounds that's so small... my eyes hurt.

    No info domain... I also started a dating site with an info domain but changed to a dot com after 4 days... A dot com is more brandable.

    thanks for all the hits and misses with the site. We are really climbing up there in CTR. Guess we will find out about the .com stuff in a few days.

    Well I don't know what the others actually saw but what I saw was a bunch of affiliate links embedded in something that appears to be dating site.
    The reason why so many dating sites is because the affiliate comission is lucrative and its for a free signup so getting leads is much easy.
    Ur site is quite professional so I suggest that you can carry on with the .info for sometime since the site doesnt really need returning visitors; I mean once a person has signed up to your affiliate links you dont care if they come back to you or stay away cause you have taken ur profits already...
    Good concept for a site but then driving quality traffic from US (most of the affiliate links on ur site need US only traffic ) is the biggest challenge.
    Just my 2 cents...

    I have an inclination for the same but I need some info on how to get US traffic. Content is not a problem for me as I am a content writer myself so if you are interested we could collaborate at least for content provision... hehe

    The site isn't a .info its a .com

    Visit the link to see for yourself, or just mouse over the link in the initial post.
