One in Ten American Internet Users Have Visited Dating Website, Show Pew Study

  • 31% of American adults say they know someone who has used a dating site
  • 15% know someone married, or in a long-term relationship, who met online
64% of online daters feel that online services offer potential for a good match because of the larger pool of prospective mates.
How Much Money Can Be Made In Online Dating?

The online dating industry has seen average pricing jump from $19.99 per month to industry averages of $49-59 dollars per month for dating subscribers in the U.S.

Some analyst predict that by 2008, revenues for dating-related sites will top $600 million.

It's not just an American opportunity either: European online services are seeing revenues jump by nearly half, with revenues potentially topping €200 million by year's end.
What Types of Dating Sites Are Out There?

There are a number of different models for online dating sites:
  • eHarmony.com is an example of a relationship site: one that actively works (in eHarmony's case with a profiling test) to evaluate and present only similarly matched singles to subscribers
  • Match.com is typical of general dating sites where there is no active matching, but rather an open interplay between subscribers
  • Niche services, like jdates.com seek to appeal to a specific demographic — in the case of jdates.com, Jewish singles are the target audience
The industry remains vibrant, and innovative businesspeople are continuing to find a solid revenue stream in the sector.
