Traffic for online dating site?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by seckin, Mar 28, 2007.

    I started to drive traffic of 1000+ uniques a day to an online dating site (affiliate) which did not convert well until now and things do not seem to get better by time.

    I want to buy US/Europe based targeted traffic for that site which would hopefully bring in high conversion rates, but I don't know where I can provide such quality traffic from.

    Any recommendations?

    no one is going to tell you, test test test, dont be afrad to buy ads on every dating site there is, and see which one converts. Its expensive, but thats what this games all about...traffic

    Why not just build your own dating site? Your just making more money for someone else at this point.

    not everyone has the time, know how, and funds to undertake such excursions ;)

    Would you consider re-directing the traffic to another site?

    check out the buy and sell sub forum. lots of guys selling traffic and links on high traffic sites.
    you will have to test them for a good return of investment.

    True but there are many big boys who have already shared the market, it's quite time consuming and building an active community really takes a long time.

    google adwords wouldnt really be suited for a dating site unless theres someone out there searching google for a date. but if you have the money to advertise on adult sites then do, market research shows higher conversions on adult sites
