Web Date Info

AFF is a very popular topic of discussion on dating review websites. And we know their traffic rating is the highest of any dating site in the United States and the rest of the world. But where are their users concentrated? What states have the most members, and how many members are we talking about? These are all questions I have about the dating site of dating sites. So here is a little info I collected by logging on and searching out what cities are the most popular.

Active Members By US State

California – 1,112,855 members

Texas - 756,280 members

Florida - 701,065 members

New York – 632,497 members

Illinois - 404,852 members

Pennsylvania – 401,038 members

Michigan - 327,068 members

North Carolina – 320,245 members

All States Combined – 10,292,779 members

International Active Members by Country

Canada - 1,055,593 members

Mexico - 892,587 members

Spain - 869,245 members

France - 1,360,721 members

Germany – 1,453,910 members

Italy - 848,696 members

United Kingdom - 1,778,927 members

The United States definitely has BY FAR the most profiles than any other country on the planet. That really is no surprise. Europe definitely comes in second place. So if you are affiliated with any of the locations listed above, base on numbers, you would have a much greater chance finding dates on this website. A great follow up of this post would be to compare another competing dating sites numbers. The only problem is I’m not sure how many other sites break down their users as in-depth as AFF does. If this kind of information is accessible, I’ll make a page and display the numbers to as many popular dating sites as possible.

So it seems that not all dating sites that are popular in the US are as popular in the UK and vice versa. As posted earlier the top sites by traffic rank in the US are……

adulfriendfinder, match, fling, singlesnet, and so on.

As with different cultures, you would expect different sites to appeal to other parts of the globe. That is not true for the most part. The majority of the most popular sites in the US and similar overseas. Popular sites in the UK include………

adultfriendfinder, sexintheuk, plentyoffish, match and a few others.

Online matchmaking websites are turning out big business. Online dating websites have pretty much completely put the newspaper personal ad out of business. And rightfully so. An online dating website has so much more to offer, its not even necessary to list the benefits. Online dating sites offer the best in all around information. You can easily tell a perspective mate all about yourself, provide a picture and all the contact details that you want with just a few short minutes worth of work. And on the more advanced sites, you can take a compatability test and matches will be presented to you. This saves a lot of time and hassle later on, plus you have a better understanding of the person that you are wanting to meet. By having these type of websites available, people who have been extremely busy, and didn’t have much time to search for singles, can now utilize a valuable tool for meeting people.

I notice on many other blogs that talk about online dating websites, they usually put a list of the top 5 dating sites or so. Usually a few always make the list. But, most have one or two that seem to be out of place. They are not very big, most of the time unheard of, and have a very poor alexa rating. I know that they aren’t basing their preferences off the same I am, but to me some of their recommendations just dont make sense. I personally think that the bigger the dating site, the better your chances are of finding singles in your area, based purely on statistics. If you join 2 sites, and one has 5,000 singles in your area, and the other has 25,000 in your city, the odds of finding someone would appear to be greater on the site with more singles. Now quality always plays a role when dealing with dating sites. I also noticed that terrible sites dont do as well as good ones. So you’ll never see a poor quality dating site with an alexa rating of under 1,000 or so. People will chose a better site when there is one available. That being said, here are the top dating sites according to alexa in the United States.

Alexa Rating Per Site in the US

38. AdultFriendFinder

97. Match

140. Fling

143. Singlesnet

212. Hornymatches

235. PlentyofFish

286. Eharmony

Now just because these sites are the biggest in the US does not mean that there aren’t others that are bigger overall. But these are some of the biggest sites are far as alexa ratings go, which is saying how many people visit their website. Remember that a lower rating is better. Google’s rating is 1 in the US for example. Like I said in previous posts, there are constantly new sites coming out, so you’ll have to excuse me if I left out any major sites.

Dating Sites have been growing in volume rapidly recently. Market leadering websites such as Adultfriendfinder are available in numerous languages, have millions of users and are well known worldwide. The large amount of users online allows for everyone to be able to find like-minded people, who have similar beliefs, are of the same religion or even live in the same City. Online dating sites allow for people to search by these criteria and see profiles of people, including their photographs. People may then contact whoever they like to try and strike up a conversation, which hopefully will lead into a relationship down the line.

Millions of people have had success using dating services online and the number of people who have even married others who they met on the internet is growing by the day. If you are one of those people who is single then why not give online dating a try, there are a wide range of different dating sites that all cater to different tastes.

“Online dating is big business, drawing about 4 million U.S. Internet users daily in June 2006 (and 25 million monthly), and they spend a daily average of nearly 17 minutes each on these sites. That adds up to a lot of page views – almost 4.5 billion per month (source: Comscore). And that doesn’t take into account the billion-a-day Myspace page views, which many people argue is basically a very large dating site. All told, at least 15% of U.S. Internet users visit an online dating site each month.

The two largest dating sites are Yahoo Personals and Match.com, respectively, with a combined 9.3 million monthly visitors. Both allow free browsing, but to communicate with other members you must pay a fee. Match.com charges $30/month for the basic plan; Yahoo’s fee is $25/month. Both sites also offer premium plans that attempt to help you find a compatible mate.

An entire batch of next generation dating sites have emerged that are starting to nip at the established players. One, PlentyofFish, launched in 2003 and has over half a million monthly U.S. visitors. Recently, even Google has entered the space through their Google Base product.

One big difference is that these sites are (mostly) free, making revenue from ad sales alone. But many of these sites are also experimenting with new ways to introduce people who may be a good match. More on each below.” from the tech crunch blog

I have noticed that there all lot of different types of dating sites out there. I pretty much put them into two categories. Adult dating or Online dating. I classify sites as adult dating because of the content, url, and what the members are looking for. So, on an adult dating site you would see naked pictures of the members, maybe a suggestive url such as hornymatches.com, and the members will most likely all have the options checked that suggest they are looking for sex, flings, threesomes and things like that.

Now for the online dating sites, I am classifying them as “clean” sites. Sites that do not have naked pictures and sometimes not even sexually suggestive pictures. A good example is match.com. They are about as clean as it gets. People on there do not even have the option to check boxes that say they are looking for sexual encounters or to be tied up. They are looking for friendship, long-term relationships, and so forth.

Now everyone knows that on both types of dating sites, all the members want to hookup at some point. It’s just that on one site thats all they want mostly, and the others want the relationship stuff as well. So you just have to look at the two and decide what you are really trying to get out of the site. Hookups with no phone calls the next day, or dinner and a movie and hopefully a relationship builds out of it???

I know one bonus is when sites let users use webcams for free. Some site allow it for women and not men, and some dont allow it at all without paying. I would think that would be a huge selling point. I am pretty sure that fling.com allows all users to tune in. As far as singlesnet.com, i’m pretty sure they dont even have that feature. AFF obviously had it and I’m also pretty sure that they charge quite a bit for the service. Hope that was helpful.

I saw this video on Good magazine’s website and thought it was pretty cool. It has a lot of statistics for online dating and mainly porn. Enjoy!
