How to promote a dating site?

    How do I go about promoting a dating site? For every visitor I refer my adsense code will be displayed 50% of the time and for every webmaster referral I make to the site my adsense code will be displayed 25% of the time to their visitors.

    What should I do?

    You should think about how people normally get traffic, think creatively and independently and actually make an effort. :)

    Try to use "Dating Banner Exchange" like:

    romance-net.com
    datexchanges.net
    dating-banners.com
    dating-exchange.com
    onlinedatingbannerexchange.com
    datingbanners.net
    datingbannerexchange.com......

    Dating is mostly advertised through word of mouth. If you have a regional dating site, like only for USA or for California, then getting an initial 100-200 members should assure you with some interest from new visitors.
    Nobody wants to register on a dating site that has 10 registered members. The more - the merrier.

    I am having the same problem getting traffic to my dating site. I have mostly been posting the link in free directories but it hasnt done much. I am thinking of trying youtube, but I dont know.

    Well, is hard to start a dating site, because there are many, but maybe you have a great idea! and you become successful :) You can try making a video like http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=6RvyFFjP7RE :)

    Best,

    The pure volume of competition in online dating would make it expensive/difficult to attract new visitors. There are so many free scripts now.

    I normally see alot of dating sites being advertised on proxy or image uploading sites, but a few free ways of doing it is by just putting the link in your signature or by making an advertising banner and ask some friends to help you advertise it, although advertising a site (any kind of site) usually involves alot of hard work and patience.

    Hey bigdad,
    Start putting your dating site link in your signature....
    Search engine spiders DP forum pretty well....that will help you....
    Then think about link exchange and on page optimizations....
    PPC (if you have money)
    If you can get listed on the Search Engines organically (on top positions)....you would rock...
    So it may take some time...or long time...but its worth doing seo...

    Link exchange is a good way to get traffic. I have some dating sites at my signature. Please visit them if you want to exchange links.
    Thanks.
