SKADATE DATING SOFTWARE PROMOTION TIPS: 7 ESSENTIAL DON’TS

Tuesday, April 30th, 2013

Couple of weeks ago, SkaDate Dating Software has already shared with you some tips concerning dating websites promotion. Hope that you have learned the lesson and applied those techniques in practice. Probably you was creative enough to invent your own promotional ways – that’s great, but I want you to be warned about some risks. Today I will tell you about things you should never do if you don’t want people to turn off your site.

  1. Don’t try to fool search engines. If it seems that you found a genial way to cheat robots and generate a high traffic with no or little effort, don’t delude yourself. First, search engine robots are complicated mechanisms and they have are a lot of criteria to determine whether your website is good enough to be high-ranked. Even if your “innovative” way works for some time, finally it will be banned from organic search for a long period or forever. I’m not kidding, there is almost no way back, if you get into black list.
  2. When choosing keywords for your site optimization, use only those ones which are relevant to your content. Otherwise, you decrease your chances to get new registered users as long as they are not your target audience, and in addition you miss your real potential clients and take risk to be penalized by search engines. When picking up a keyword, take into account not only number of queries, but also competition highness: less popular but targeted word might be more effective.
  3. Don’t duplicate anything from other websites. Search engines appreciate unique content and penalize websites for copy-pasted texts. If you still want to refer to a third-party text, provide a link. From the other side, your original and interesting content can generate links and result in higher ranking.
  4. Never put hidden (very small, filled in with background color or located behind an image) keywords on your website. Search engines are aware about this trick and it’s a direct violation of Google’s Webmaster guidelines.
  5. Don’t annoy people by sending SPAM. It refers to mass mailing, intrusive posting on social networks and “bombing” forums and popular blogs. You may ruin your chances from the very beginning: people will be rejected by your promotion tactics, even if your site is the best one in dating industry. Moreover, they can block you and never see your absolutely unique and fascinating new post. Try to catch the attention by your content, don’t beg for it.
  6. Never be too interfering when asking for link exchange, you may be reported and banned. In case if you are constantly refused, think about  relevance of your content and popularity, work on it harder and look for other potential barters.
  7. Don’t give links to irrelevant websites, search engines may consider it as links selling and ban your site. On the other hand, relevant link building is crucially important and results in better ranking.

And the last one important thing: never forget to visit SkaDate Dating Software blog. Take care and see you soon.

SkaDate Dating Software Tips: 7 tips to promote your dating website

Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

by Varda Carrera

It’s a middle of spring and I hope that not only flowers but your business initiatives are also blooming up. If they still don’t, it’s a perfect moment to buy a newest version of SkaDate Dating Software and create a prosperous dating website. It should be really easy with such a powerful tool and our promotion tips at your disposal.
Well, there are several basic things to do in order to make a search engine friendly website and generate a high traffic.

1. Hosting. Care about fast and reputable hosting provider for your dating site since search engines evaluate a load speed to decide if the site is worthy and effective enough. Please, take a note that not all hosting providers are equally compatible with our software. If you are not sure about hosting company to choose, take a look at this list of recommended hosting providers that are known to work well with SkaDate Dating Software. If your hosting speed is still not satisfying, use a CloudFlare integration to solve this problem.

2. Domain. Think about short, simple and catchy domain name – .com is the best choice as long as users, who have remembered your domain name and want to find it, are usually trying .com first. 

3. Keywords. Very carefully think about making your website search engine friendly: for that purpose, choose relevant keywords and type them into your site’s title tag and meta description tag. Don’t forget to use the same words on your pages. To define the best keywords for your ranking you can use a Google Adwords keyword tool: it not only shows how many queries per country and worldwide each keyword has, but also suggests the most popular combinations.

4. Social networks. Share links to your website on social networks: the more friends you have, the better. Encourage likes, it increases the chances that friends of your friends will see the link too. This link also counts as a backlink by search engines, that increases your ranking. Facebook enhances your position on Bing and Google+ mostly affects Google search. 

5. Updates. Keep your web-site up-to date, refresh the content, maintain the high number of active users, and delete broken links. Search engine robots are set up that way that they check rarely-updated sites with lower frequency and as a result your content is indexed less regularly.

6. Off-line promotion. It’s a good additional way to promote your site, though it’s not as effective as Internet promotion. Tell your friends and acquaintances about your website or if you have money, try other types of advertising.

7. Be in contact. Make your contacts easily available: check your mail every day and answer any questions from your perspective or existing users in time. Make people sure that your website, powered by SkaDate Dating Script, is not only technically well-done, but also reliable and open for communication.

SkaDate Dating Software Niches 101: Book Lovers Dating

Happy first day of spring to everyone! Welcome back to SkaDate Dating Software Niches 101, where I continue to explore new ideas for niche market and share the most exciting ones with you. Spring is the time of plans, projects and new business initiatives, so it is an ideal moment to buy a SkaDate Dating Script license and push a small niche dating site.

Marketers insist that the narrower the niche the more effective your business will be, so choosing the right target audience is a crucial step when running your business. One more success trick is to start a passion based business. “Choose a job you love, and you never have to work a day in your life” – that’s what Confucius says and many businessmen prove his words by their experience.

Well, let me help you to define a perfect niche for you then: tell me the books you love and I’ll tell what kind of niche dating website you need. If you don’t like books at all and prefer to spend your holidays outdoors, than stop reading this post and take a look at this one, most probably you need an outdoor dating website. If the only books you read are photography and photoshop manuals, then… well, I’ll be a Captain Obvious telling you that your best choice is a photography dating niche. However, if you are that type of person who reads a lot and has too many favorite books to give a short answer on my question, then a bookworms dating website, powered by SkaDate Dating Script, is exactly what you need.

At first glance, it may seem that since winter is gone, the time for sitting home wrapped in a blanket and reading books with a cup of coffee is over too. That’s right, but that doesn’t mean that starting a book lovers dating business is a bad idea. For true bookworms spring is the time to read books from electronic devices, sitting somewhere on the veranda of mountain cottage and breathing the fresh air. Just imagine how many of them are dreaming to become a part of an epic romance or just find someone to talk about their book preferences.

There is one more important and beneficial factor for you: book lovers tend to live in their imaginary worlds and be unadapted to the reality. Their shyness often prevents them from getting acquainted with new people in everyday life. Therefore, a book lovers dating website is a perfect place to meet someone, especially taking into account that fact that they always have a new book to discuss.

Searching the web, I found some book lovers dating websites such as Single Book Lovers, Book Lover Dating, Book passions. There are not so many of them and they are quite general; so a very locally targeted book lovers dating website is exactly what is going to be in demand in your town or state.

Stay with SkaDate Dating Software blog and I wish you to run such a successful book lovers dating business this year that it would become a plot for a new success book. Take care and see you next month in Niche 101.

Success Tips from SkaDate Dating SoftwareA few days ago a friend of mine asked me whether I would prefer money or love.. That’s a good question to reflect on, but why should I choose if there is a way to combine these two concepts. SkaDate Dating Software is that case when love brings wealth. There are many ways to earn real money on your Dating Website using SkaDate Dating Software features and here you can find an explanation on how to start a profitable online dating business. But there are some additional tips I want to focus your attention on.

First, when starting your website, you need to define a market niche since the general marketplace is occupied by big players difficult to compete with. You may pick out one of the niches suggested by SkaDate Dating Script Blog or come up with your own idea. Your potential target audiences may be vegetarians, smokers, food lovers and so on. The narrower the social group you choose the more converting it is. The same refers to the geographic targeting; small dating sites reach more success if restricting their service to the local area.

The next step is attracting more registered users to your website and making them return. For that purpose use SkaDate Dating Software addons, keeping your site interactive, such as forum, video instant messenger, user credit system, virtual gift shop and others. Online flirtation is an important dating component so users will spend money for making virtual gifts and customizing their profiles handsomely. According to Statistics ( Reuters, Herald News, PC World, Washington Post), average spent by dating site customer per year is $239. Once your site has its audience and looks professional, you may promote it using targeted advertising methods.

Unfortunately, not all dating site members are sociable enough to communicate adequately; so you need to protect your users of sexual harassment and other forms of Internet cruelty. SkaDate Dating Software has a function that allows to block undesired profiles. Experts also suggest you to defend yourself from being liable for what is happening on offline dates. You may hire a lawyer to make a membership contract releasing you from the responsibility of what is happening in real life as a result of users’ online communication.

Finally, one of the key secrets to success is investing into creditable software with qualified customer support team. If you search the Internet and make a comparative analysis of dating software market, you find that SkaDate Dating Script with all the features offered is the best choice.

SkaDate Dating Software: Speed-Dating Feature

SkaDate Dating Software: Speed-Dating Feature

I would like to start today’s post by saying a huge thank you to all our customers, prospects, and everyone else who voted for us at 2013 iDate Awards. SkaDate once again became finalist in the Best Dating Software Provider category. We are quite proud that the industry continuously acknowledges our hard work on the product.

SkaDate dating script is not only a professional solution with 100% unencrypted code, but is also known for multiple user features making clients’ websites more attractive and presenting numerous opportunities through popular tools like gifts, user credits, classifieds, etc. Today, though, I want to focus on Speed-Dating.

Speed-Dating is a service designed to encourage as many singles as possible to meet each other in a short period of time. While setting up a speed-dating event, a site administrator can specify certain time for each mini-date online. Later, participating members are randomly connected to each other in a pop-up window for conversations. As soon as the assigned chat session ends, the participants are connect to new members.

Check out our detailed video tutorial, explaining the entire process of creating and attending speed-dating events with SkaDate Dating Software.

The format allows site members to chat up with a whole bunch of eligible singles. Preventing them from wasting hours on unsuccessful dates is an another bonus: if someone is unhappy with the random choice of a conversational partner, they can easily skip the mini date and move on to the next one. If there was a spark between two participants, they can easily set up a real date afterwards, with an increased likelihood of a serious relationships.

This tried and proven system has found a second life on online dating sites and is currently gaining tremendous prominence, all because the majority of people nowadays are extremely busy and find going-out specifically looking for dates too time-consuming and costly. Others are simply too shy to approach others in a pub or on the dance floor. Whereas online speed-dating is making it extremely easy to find friends or romance partners, using traditional dating techniques.

Speed-Dating gives everyone an opportunity to meet people sharing the same interests and avoid that awkward feeling of public embarrassment in case of rejection. Curiously, the format of speed-dating is often employed by start-up companies looking for investors, or even pet rescue services searching for potential owners for homeless dogs. The possibilities for this feature’s implementation are limited only by one’s imagination.

Oh, and don’t forget that SkaDate’s Speed-Dating feature can also be used with our default text Ajax Chat, or alternatively, audio and video chat add-ons, to make members’ speed-dating events even more exciting. Give it a try!
