5 Steps for Starting a Dating Site

Posted by admin on Apr 03 2008 | Dating Software, Dating Software Reviews, Internet Marketing, Matchmaking Software, Social Software, Social Software Reviews, Software Development

Step 1 - First off, you need to find a good domain name. Some will say that all the good domain names are taken. That is actually not true. You can still come up with a good domain name. Most the time when people come to your site, it’s due to a link they found so they really don’t have to type it in. With that said, you should not create a long domain name. You can add words like “My”, “Your” to the front of your chosen name. Use words that describe your web site.

Step 2 - Find the best dating software or social software. I recommend using PHPFox software.

Step 3 - You will need hosting for it. We recommend LunarPages due to the fact that we have used them for over 5 years now and have not had any issues with them. I recommend the VPS server for about $39 dollars. You can’t beat the price for your own dedicated server. Plus you will need VPS so that you can upload videos and music.

Step 4 - Once your web site is installed, you will need to market it. Now, you don’t need to go and spend a ton of money to get it started. What you need to do is get your site out there. Add your site to google and yahoo. Those are the two major search engines. You can submit to them for free. See our marketing page for more info on marketing your site. You can use SubmitExpress.com to submit to them for free. They charge $29 dollars to submit to over 70,000 search engines and directories. It’s a good value. Gets your site out there quickly. Also remember that your site is a business so promote promote promote.

Step 5 - Keep your dating software site content fresh and by that I mean add things often like blogs, forum postings and things like that. Search engines like sites that have fresh content so add entries to the blogs and forums. The more profiles you have that are searchable then that becomes more searchable and indexable content.

If you follow these basic steps then you will generate traffic to your web site. Traffic is what makes money. DO NOT SPAM. That will only get you blacklisted.

VLD Personals Dating Software Review

Posted by admin on Apr 02 2008 | Dating Software Reviews

From Their Website - When it comes to online dating software, you have a long list of options to choose from. From basic dating scripts to full-featured, professionally developed dating suites. The multitude of choices can make your head spin. How do you decide which application is right for your dating site needs?

TTL_Post

vldPersonals is the most trusted, powerful and fully automated online dating and social networking software solution. vldPersonals enables you to create a fully functioning, automated dating website with many of the advanced features found on other dating sites. Members can create profiles, send and receive emails, upload pictures, videos and music, search for other members, chat, add friends and much much more.

Our Review - It has come to our attention that this company has stolen copyrighted text from a reputable dating software provider. They have stolen the text right off the web site and used it in their press releases as well as using that stolen text while promoting their dating software product on countless dating software script sites.

We approached this company and they denied doing it but when they were faced with numerous URL’s, facts and proof, they simply wrote it off as no big deal. I do not promote dating software providers that I feel have lied, cheated or even stolen in order to sell dating software.

They claim to be from Canada but a whois on their domain name quickly turns up a hidden domain which means they don’t want people knowing who they really are. See, you can pay about $10 dollars a year to hide your domain registration and that is what they have done. They don’t have a phone number and my assumption is that they are somewhere in Russia or Eastern Europe.

We also have heard from affiliates of vldPersonals that they don’t pay. Affiliates are people that promote/sell their social software or dating software product on other websites. One case in point is that an affiliate of vldPersonals made a few sales and vldPersonals shut down their affiliate account and then refused to pay them saying that they violated their terms. Some of the more scrupulous social software and dating software providers do this. This is really sad because the real dating software and social software providers suffer from it. It’s sad that a few bad apples can ruin the whole bunch.

I do not recommend you use this dating software company.

With the Portal software, known as a “Social Networking Script” only on the market for 1 year has taken the software community by storm offering advanced tools for clients with an easy to use interface.

Konsort comes fully packed with features for you as the admin and for your members as well.

Our Review - This is a great package. The prices are really flexible. You can purchase the full price software for $300 dollars or you can rent it monthly for $39 dollars. I like the $39 dollar monthly rental because you can test it out without having to spend the $300 dollars.

The features are easy to use and are located nicely on the page. Now, when it comes to the template design and layout, I wasn’t really all that excited about it. It’s a very plain and boring look to it. However you can create or get another template for it.

Support was easy. That have a phone number you can call as well as a support ticket system that they answer emails very quickly. I really like this company and product.

Interactive Arts - Online Dating Software Review

From Their Website
- Dating Software - Are you seeking a professional online dating script or social networking solution for your new dating business? Our online dating packages offer affordability and flexibility which combines to allow you to offer your members a truly engaging experience. Packed with useful features such as groups, forums, social networking, flirts, skype connectivity and much more.

Whether your online dating site is targeting the international market or a niche segment of this vast and expanding business sector, you will quickly appreciate the comprehensive features included in the dating software and the design flexibility provided by the “skin” template engine. Create your own look and feel and stand out in the crowd. Don’t lose customers and don’t lose revenue through poor software or inadequate support. Choose the best software and give your business a headstart on the competition.

Adult/Swinger Software - The swinger software is based on the highly successful Dating software v7.2 but includes options and facilities more suited to an adult based contacts / dating site. Specifically, this site allows customers to register as couples and put both their own and their partners information into the profile. With racy questions and great functionality, this software is a sure fire winner for sexy singles sites.

Our Review - This company is registered in the UK but they work out of Sweden. They are one of the oldest dating software packages on the Internet and believe me, its showing its age. The templates are really cheaply designed. It’s very generic, plain and boring. You would think for $649 dollars you would get a great design, but it’s quite the opposite. It’s not a good choice for social software in my opinion but will do for a dating software package. Just too expensive.

As for support, you won’t be thrilled. They don’t respond quickly to emails for sales or support.

This software is not SEO friendly meaning that you will have problems trying to get it into the top of the search engines.

What I really didn’t like about this software is that it’s almost fully encrypted. You will not be able to customize or modify this dating sofware except for the template header and footer.

I do not recommend this for social software but is OK for dating software.

AbleDating is a Scam

Posted by admin on Apr 01 2008 | Dating Software Reviews

AbleDating Online Dating Software Review - SCAMMER ALERT

From Their Website - ABK-Soft is a leading international dating software and social networking software provider. ABK-Soft Limited is a privately owned company based in the United States, having Technology Partners in Russian Federation. With a variety of dating software options, multi-lingual capability of the products, easy customization and unmatched support ABK-Soft delivers a private-label solution for any businesses and individuals that are looking for customized personals web site platform that takes on the look and feel of their existing web site or of what they imagine it should look like.

Powerful, secure, fast and stable PHP/MySQL online dating software with unlimited functionality modification options and easy design/layout customization.

Our Review - DO NOT BUY THIS DATING SOFTWARE. These are Russian scammers. They will only steal your money. We bought the dating software and installed it and it’s full of bugs. After we bought it, they refused to help us. The features that they have on their web site do not work. In fact, it’s nothing like they claim. You will NOT get your money back on this dating software.

This company even went so far as to create their own review site where they posted tons of only “GOOD” reviews about their own software. They even created threads on all kinds of dating software forums about their dating software. They create a thread with a username asking about dating software, then they create another username and answer it with some story about how they bought their dating software and it works great and they would recommend it. These are scammers. The dating software doesn’t work and they will only take your money.
