It's just him and one other person (his wife i believe) who runs the site, he pays only 14k a month in server costs, Google loves him (apparently), he profits probaly close to 350k a month after advertising (if any).Originally posted by DaddyHalbucksHowever, I question business models that rely too heavily on Google.
Do you want to question that business model again?
Google bans him he goes to one of the other contextual ad companies.196-900-713Comment

you're right, no one's making any real money online.Originally posted by Mike33Is there a way to confirm that? I have no doubt he makes money but how can you be sure it's as much as he says? Just by his word alone? Everybody on GFY including me is a millionaire too.

Cool, but I still like Myspace a lot better. Speaking of which, don't they run Adsense too? Hmm, I wonder what they rake in.Cary | AIM: cheesefrog | ICQ: 4287002Comment

That is freaking awesome. I think the only downside is if he puts dating sites out of business and his ad revenue gets cut in half because of it.
I love shit like this. Just when you think the last new mouse trap was invented. Bammm!!!

Why, you ask?
Because it does shift consumers to using the free dating site model. That model doesn't profit even 5% as much as the paid model which pays us accordingly. Free dating kills that industry and in turn our profits.
In 5 years all of them wil be free. Goldrush=Over.
But, was it necessary? No, there was no reason to lowball the industry just to get in the door. Sure it takes just a little bit more work to make money in that game but as all of us here know, it's not hard to get people to signup to damn near anything. Someone with his immense automation skills could have done better going the paid route.I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

He is obviously doing something right....Originally posted by flashfireadsense is easy but if someone took the time much more money could be made with that amount of traffic
using only text ads. Why go fuck it up ?
Everyone seems to have an opinion on this guy
but probaly couldn't even come close to replicating it.

I find it funny that he considers himself in the same league as Match.com. Match is doing more than a hundred million dollars a year in profit.
Also, I think a lot of his Adsense revenue comes from other dating sites Google ads. He puts down those same dating sites that he makes most of his money off. Quite ironic really.
What would happen if all the dating sites excluded him from their adsense campaign?Comment

one important question though - people are still joining match.com and other sites in droves, so what features do they offer that plentyoffish.com doesn't?Comment

I don't think there is any way to tell if his Google links convert or not, is there? As far as I can tell, the stats just show them coming from Google Syndication, not the name of the site.

And no, they are not joining Match.com in the same droves they were before. Myspace and other social networking sites have cut into their market in a big way.Comment

Ha, what would you do advertise competition directly? Adsense per click pays so much in those markets that you make far more from the companies paying for branding than you do from any sponsors you want to sell.Originally posted by detoxedI dont understand who would put adsense on a dating site likethat....there are better waysComment

good point. I'm pretty sure you can track which sites AdSense clicks come from, and then filter out the sites that don't work for you using site exclusion.Originally posted by MrLuvrI don't think there is any way to tell if his Google links convert or not, is there? As far as I can tell, the stats just show them coming from Google Syndication, not the name of the site. If there is a way to know which sites the clicks come from, i woud love to know.
on the other hand, they may perhaps be using site targeted ads so they'll then know exactly how many views and clicks they're getting
interesting. I guess those companies will have to move with the times or keep losing market share.And no, they are not joining Match.com in the same droves they were before. Myspace and other social networking sites have cut into their market in a big way.Comment

the site owner himself. his exact words were "I made $1 million in three months with Adsense"Originally posted by crankiwhere do the income figures come from?
also, further up this thread a friend of his confirms he got a $900,000 check from google for two months worth of clicksComment
