That’s because I’m kinda like the unseen presence in Groundhog Day – I repeat stuff to make sure the point gets across. On the other hand, let’s forget about that comparison, since, you know, some people say it took Bill Murray one thousand years of iterative suffering to get his point. I’d like to think, that type of unfair karmic punishment is unnecessary in our case. Because the point I want to make is that understanding niches and picking the right one will get you ahead of the competition. (That and using SkaDate dating script, of course). And just to make sure the Groundhog reference is not completely wasted, let’s talk about the niche that’s been growing in popularity in recent years. Pet Dating. What? You think you can’t have groundhogs as pets? Here’s a picture to make all your points moot.]]> http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-niches-101-pet-dating.html/feed 0 http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-runner-up-at-2012-idate-awards.html http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-runner-up-at-2012-idate-awards.html#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:58:04 +0000 Zima F http://www.skadate.com/blog/?p=2703 Ladies and Gentlemen!

Nevertheless, many new clients who want to start online dating business often compare the two options at hand, and we are here to help them. ‘White label’ refers to a product or service produced by one company and than re-branded and sold by other companies as their own. The term comes from the world of vinyl records, where prior-to public release promo copies were sent to DJs, bearing no official artwork but a simple white label instead. In general, white label is seen as something mass-produced and generic. Think low-end electronics or supermarkets with store brand goods – these are usually just re-brands made by someone else. And there’s nothing wrong with that – sometimes white labels can reduce costs and save time. The same works for white label online dating, but not quite.]]> http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-vs-white-label-dating-solutions.html/feed 0 http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-update-word-from-developer.html http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-update-word-from-developer.html#comments Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:32:14 +0000 Zima F http://www.skadate.com/blog/?p=2445 SkaDate 9, the new version of the acclaimed SkaDate Dating Software was released less than a month ago, which means that once again we are getting a lot of requests to simplify the updating procedures. Rather than repeating the same answer over and over in blog comments and private support correspondence, we decided to get one definite explanation about the issue, right from developers of the SkaDate dating script. Here’s what they had to say: Frequent requests for simplification of the update procedure mean only one thing – not everyone fully understand what PHP software is, and how it works. SkaDate software is written in PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor scripting language, which is open source, so anyone can modify it in any way. Most SkaDate customers do just that by hiring outsourced developers or introducing various modifications themselves. Consequently, numerous modified SkaDate versions on hands all differ from our original default version.]]> http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-update-word-from-developer.html/feed 5 http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-mobile-edition-explained.html http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-mobile-edition-explained.html#comments Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:29:29 +0000 Zima F http://www.skadate.com/blog/?p=2430 SkaDate Dating Software has been recently upgraded to its 9th version, and as many of our clients have already learned, this was a major step forward for our acclaimed dating solution. This feat was accomplished in part due to the success of the SkaDate iPhone/iPad Application, developed jointly by SkaDate and SOD Technologies. Let’s talk mobile for a while and see why it is so important nowadays. But first I want to dispel some confusion about SkaDate Mobile terms, versions, and prices. What we have on offer as great additions to the basic SkaDate dating script is SkaDate Mobile Browser Version and SkaDate iPhone/iPad Application. Slap them together and you’ll get what we brand as SkaDate Mobile Edition. Before SkaDate 9, Mobile Edition consisted only of SkaDate Mobile Browser Version, and was sold for a regular price of $150. But now our clients get even better value for their money, since both Mobile Browser Version and iPhone/iPad Application have a joint price of $200. ]]> http://www.skadate.com/blog/skadate-dating-software-mobile-edition-explained.html/feed 3
