?The result of the acquisition will be reliable, advanced personals sites that offer outstanding conversion and retention rates and will also allow us to more easily customize a personals product for new and existing partners and expand co-branding and private-label offerings,? said Conru, who noted that Various has 400,000 affiliates. ?We are definitely on the path for even more acquisitions? as part of an ongoing consolidation in the online dating and networking sector, he said.


We are continuing our aquisition roll up path, we are looking to consolidate many more community based sites in the near future.
