    However, I question business models that rely too heavily on Google.

          Both from a tech-nerd perspective and a business perspective.

                Is 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.

                  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).

                  Do you want to question that business model again?

                  Google bans him he goes to one of the other contextual ad companies.

                      Funny I was just reading about this guy over at threadwatch the other day.It seems a few years ago he posted on WMW "I make about $40/day off 1200 visitors." hehe.

                      The guy`s a genius apparently.Good for him.

                        You're pushing nicotine patches online and you're giving your opinion on a site that brings in 400k a month??????

                          you're right, no one's making any real money online.

                            yup, because it's just that simple.

                            if even companies like match.com want to buy his code, I think he's got a damn good head start on the rest of us...

                              It's not hard to be a millionaire these days.

                              So what is so hard to believe?

                                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.

                                        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!!!

                                          At the end of the day I'm not happy to see sites like this work.

                                          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...

                                            Oh, I dunno... I guess only an idiot who makes $4 million a year would do that. You and me are much smarter.

                                              With a database that size he could start charging membership any time he feels like it.

                                                  It would seem that way if every new dating site wasn't free. Free dating is taking over.

                                                          I don't believe this. Just a week and a half ago we we're talking about free dating! Fuck me. Oh well, good for this guy! Glad to see he's doing very well it. It's an interesting approach he took that's for sure. Just awesome...and he deserves every penny he makes for seeing the potential and doing it his way.

                                                                      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?

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 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.

                                                                                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.

                                                                                    What would happen if all the dating sites excluded him from their adsense campaign?

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.

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.

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.
                                                                                          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.

                                                                                          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

                                                                                          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.
                                                                                          interesting. I guess those companies will have to move with the times or keep losing market share.
