Meet People Directory - Business General

One of the most popular online dating sites, PlentyofFish.com has
reached a new milestone by launching itself past the 200,000-member mark as of.
Singles cannot seem to resist the lure of a quality online dating
site that offers a positive, growing community and services that are
completely free.

After eight months, PlentyofFish.com continues to boast an exponential
growth rate. Of the 180,000 signups since January, over 36,000 of those
joined in the last 30 days. The amazing part about the success of
PlentyofFish.com is the fact that all this traffic is a result of word-of-
mouth marketing from a loyal membership base. "We haven't really spent any
money on marketing," founder and CEO Markus Frind states. "Our company vision
is to keep costs to a minimum and pass the savings on to our members,
providing services for free that almost every other model charges for."

As the online dating site increases in popularity and new innovations continue to be
implemented, the potential for the company appears to be infinite. According
to independent web tracking firm Hitwise.com, PlentyofFish.com already gains
more page views every day than established online dating sites like AOL's Love.com, which
spends millions a year in marketing to gain traffic. When questioned about
the success of PlentyofFish.com, Frind said, "I never saw this coming ... I
cannot believe how quickly we have passed the major online dating sites without investing in
marketing ... I guess I shouldn't be that surprised considering they charge
$20-$50 per month for the same features that we are giving away for free."

Members appreciate PlentyofFish.com because it is user-friendly and
completely free, but more importantly they are loyal to the online dating website because of
the selection offered by the large membership base and the company's priority
to keep users happy. PlentyofFish.com wants people to meet, interact in a
safe environment and find their match. One satisfied member wrote, "I wanted
to say thank you for this online dating site. I've tried other online dating sites but this is the one I liked
the best, not only because it was free, but I met more people here than
anywhere else. I met my fiancee on here 4 months ago; we're getting married
in August."

Plentyoffish Media, Inc. is a West Coast-based free online dating company
that currently has over 200,000 members with the majority of members in the
United States of America and Canada. PlentyofFish.com began operations in
March 2003.
