SkaDate Dating Software Roundup: May, 14-24

Friday, May 24th, 2013

Hello, everyone! Recent times were hot and productive for SkaDate Dating Software team; we worked hard on Premium SkaDate Dating and Social Networking Site Templates release and now we are proud to present these great professionally-designed themes to your attention.

Though we didn’t forget to search across the Internet and prepare a SkaDate Dating Software roundup for you. Amazing things are happening around the world: a woman has painted her ideal husband and he became real, Sinead O’Connor’s profile was removed from a dating site by site moderators, the most of hot women seeking for adventures on dating sites turned to be men and much more.

Sinead O’Connor profile was banned from a dating site

Sinead O’Connor: “I wrote a profile so sexual it was removed by the people running the site. And trust me, in the past I’ve written some humdinger profiles but never had one removed. I am very proud. It didn’t get removed for about 45 minutes and in that time there were literally over 160 replies. I wrote a very (sexual) account of exactly what the f— would be happening on my ideal first date”.

Online dating will be brought to life at Solopalooza 2013

Paul Wickline, COC theatre department chair: “These stories are great fun, poignant and thought provoking. Our students have worked very hard to bring their wonderful stories to the stage and they are performing them beautifully”.

CEO Sean Rad reveals his grand plan to change the way people meet

“It’s a simple concept: Unlike most online dating platforms, there are no profiles or questionnaires to fill out. Instead, users sign up through Facebook, select a couple pictures, and enter their gender, location, and sexual preference. The app then serves up photos of other nearby users”

Dating site founder says that the majority of women looking for hooks-up are men

Markus Frind, dating site founder: “Of its 3.3 million UK users, only 6,041 women are seeking an ‘Intimate Encounter’ on internet dating website Plenty of Fish. Many of the ‘women’ who use the hook-ups section of his site are actually men in disguise, trying to con admirers. On May 20  it has decided to remove the “intimate encounters” option from the site.

Online dating issues: how to deal with rejection?

Elaine Dundon: “It’s important to understand that everyone is in a different “space” and, in some cases, no matter what you say or do, they will always reject you or your ideas. In this regard, some people strive for safety and predictability, so your new idea or proposition may seem too “risky” to them. Others strive for creative freedom and your proposal might be too mundane or out of character for them.”

A painted ideal husband became real

In 2009, artist Chloe Mayo created a romantic depiction of her dream husband – tall, dark, handsome, and bearded. The 31-year-old artist quickly forgot about the painting and a couple weeks later took up online dating. She encountered Michael Goeman on a singles’ site before meeting him in person. When the couple finally met, she was struck by the feeling of déjà vu. After realizing her new beau resembled her prophesied hubby, she hid the evidence under her bed.

SkaDate Dating Software: How to choose a best template for your dating site?

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013

Today’s post is for those who work on developing their own dating site, powered by SkaDate Dating Software, and those who have faced the problem of choosing the right template.

Contemporary generation of people lives in a highly visual world; and of the five senses, researchers have found that the visual sense is dominant. Some scientists even theorize that as much as 80 percent of the information we receive comes through sight. Sound contributes another 14 percent, while the remaining senses provide only 6 percent of our information. So, be serious and thorough when making a decision regarding visual appearance of your dating website as long as design is a thing that really matters.

In the Internet, as well as in the real life, the first impression plays a crucial role – you have only few seconds to grab users attention and make them return to your site. The more attractive the home page is, the longer users stay. In order to make your site unique and professionally looking, SkaDate Dating Software designers have developed series of fascinating professional Premium SkaDate Dating and Social Networking Site Templates. You are welcome to take a look at them and pick the most appropriate one for your website.

You should also keep in mind that even though all these design themes are absolutely gorgeous, choosing the right one depends on the target audience of your dating niche. Remember, that not only design, but also color has a significant impact on human mind.

Let say, Meeting Science template, fulfilled in a quiet white-blue gamma, is designed mostly for social networking. Passion and Ruby Red themes are rather adult ones – artistic eroticism of the models is emphasized by black and red colors, which symbolize love and passion. Exclusive Сlub perfectly suits millionaire, businessmen and sugar-daddy niches: blue color is usually associated with stability and security. Dark Shine is a perfect choice for traditional dating site.

Note that a good template should not be complicated or graphically overloaded – one catching picture is enough; and all the main links should be put in a prominent place. If users are unable to find the most important dating features easily, they will leave your site. When testing your site, try to put yourself into your clients shoes: does everything looks clear for you and is design attractive enough? Don’t forget to ask your friends for advice as well.

When you feel that your site is done and ready to be resented to the public, then it’s time to move to the next steps. The best way to be successful in dating business is to carefully research this sphere, and you can start right here – in SkaDate Dating Software blog, which is a perfect source of information related to dating industry.

SkaDate Dating Software Launches Premium Templates

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

Dear friends,

SkaDate Dating Software is really proud to present you the first batch in what we hope to become a regular series of Premium SkaDate Dating and Social Networking Site Templates.

Over the last eight years we’ve witnessed the enormous growth of SkaDate customer base and were happy to see the amazing creativity of dating site owners customizing free template designs available with each purchase.

These slight or major changes (on display in our Portfolio Section) have one common goal – to make each dating site stand out and look unique. Unfortunately, not everyone has the necessary resources to spend thousands of dollars creating new designs. With this understanding in mind we decided to come up with an accessible solution to this issue.

SkaDate Premium Templates were created by our in-house professional designers, who base their work on extensive online dating market research and feedback regularly left by SkaDate customers. Everything, from color palettes to images and smallest details conform to the current trends in the world of online dating.

The accessible price-tag of just $99 per template ensures the growing chance of your website staying unique and standing out among others. There is, however, an option of a complete exclusivity purchase, which will make the selected template no longer available for others.

To check out the brand new Premium Templates in all their shining glory, visit our Templates Section, or purchase them right away from your Customer Area. Otherwise, place an order for a new copy of SkaDate dating script, or ask our pre-sales operators any additional questions.

SkaDate Dating Software Roundup: May, 4-10.

Friday, May 10th, 2013

Hi, everyone. World doesn’t stay still and all the time something is going on: Charles Ramsey has become a world-known celebrity in a few days after he helped rescue the kidnapped Amanda Berry, and this fact confirmed that popularity, as well as success in online dating business, may come when you don’t expect that. However, most often you should do the hard work first, including promotion, generating traffic, building your website’s reputation and of course following the dating news. The last thing we made easier for you, and in today’s SkaDate Dating Software Roundup we piled together all the most important news from the online dating industry.

Online dating at the age of 76 is still possible, internet dating websites are used for seeking carers for disabled people now and online dating addiction has become a problem for many people in recent times. Articles below will also teach you how to distinguish a dating scam and decode the most popular dating phrases people tell each other.

How to interpret online dating phrases

Elizabeth Denham, writer: Many of the statements (listed in this article) are designed to manipulate a response. When you are looking at a profile or in the very early stages of getting to know someone, always make sure to notice if this is happening. This is unacceptable and recognizing it is an easy way to avoid wasting time. Look for someone who is straightforward, positive and honest.

Online Dating at 76: what does it looks like?

What really surprised me was the overwhelming response from men who are looking for love and at the same time are so terrified of age. They’d say things like, “You’re an interesting woman, but I really need to be with someone 45″. Most of the men won’t respond if you say your real age.

New internet dating service will help disabled people find the perfect carer

Russell Smith, creator of the service: “One of the big problems is that a lot of the time you’ll get people who are probably very good at being a carer, doing the general day-to-day washing, dressing, that sort of thing but, being still reasonably young, I like to go to gigs and festivals and all that.”

Are you addicted to online dating websites?

Researchers believe that online dating is not so beneficial for our society because it may be too addictive. Some people constantly feel the urge to get back to online dating. The major risk involved in online dating addiction is depression.

Tips on recognizing a dating scam

According to research conducted by the FBI, criminals who troll social media and online dating sites looking for victims usually claim to be Americans traveling or working abroad. In reality, they often live overseas. Their most common targets are women over 40, who are divorced, widowed, and/or disabled, but every age group and demographic is at risk.

5 online dating don’ts

Online dating is not so complicated but people are making things complicated by doing things, which they are not supposed to do. Online dating was supposed to be very straight forward, and if things are done properly, then it will yield perfect results in terms of getting a perfect partner.

SkaDate Dating Software Niches 101: Dating for Apple Fans

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

More and more people are thinking about starting their own online dating business, but they don’t know the first steps to take. Well, the first and the most important step is to choose a qualified and reliable dating software. SkaDate Dating Software is an optimal choice since it allows you to get a full-package  at a one time fee, including free installation and free support forum. New version, released in the beginning of spring 2013 is remarkable for its optimized performance and increased spam control as well as for huge variety of new features, so it’s hard to find better solution for your startup.

When you already have a SkaDate Dating Software package in your pocket, it’s time to learn the SEO and promotion methods very precisely. Check our blog archive for promotion tips, all the information is highly focused on dating industry and presented in a simple and understandable way.

Then, you need to define your dating niche, because the general dating industry is already occupied by big players hard to compete with. You still have some options to come into play: as people often do, you may choose one of the most popular dating niche segments, such as religious, dancing, singing, outdoor, sugar daddy or any other. Since audiences are familiar with these niches quite well but competition is still low, it’s easy to take a leading search position in search engine by means of using relevant keywords in the content and meta tags of your website. How fast you will beat your competitors depends on your creativity and flexibility.

However, you may turn on your originality on the earlier stages and instead of choosing a well-known dating segment, you can introduce something drastically new like the founder of Cupidtino, the first dating site inspired by Apple production, did. The idea came to Mel Sampat, whose girlfriend was jealous of his Iphone. She was upset, because he payed too much attention to his gadget and didn’t speak to her about their relationships. When they broke up, Mel realized that he would rather date someone who shares his passion to Apple stuff. He believes that Apple fans have a lot of common personality traits. That is how this idea came to Mel Sampat’s mind and the website devoted to Apple fans was created.

I don’t call you to copy this concept since it will no longer be original, but I hope you got the idea. Look around and probably you will discover something even more fascinating. The advantage of such approach is in its uniqueness and the absence of competitors in your niche segment and a good chance for your website to become a newsmaker for mass media. Though you still need to put your effort into promotion like any other business initiator, the more original your idea is the higher your chances to gain success. Wish you inspiration and good luck with SkaDate Dating Software.
