If You're Single And Want To Find Someone Rich, Don't Use Match.com!

I guess that if you really want to find a rich person on a dating site...you have a "better chance" using Plenty Of Fish compared to Match.com or E-Harmony

The passage below has been taken from Markus Frind's Blog CEO of PlentyOfFish.com

One of the hardest parts about growing plentyoffish is that it doesn’t really appeal that much to lower income users or younger users.

The recession in the US seems to be growing Paid dating sites in the US fairly quickly but isn’t really having a major of an impact on my sites growth. We will still grow at least 80% organically this year but I don’t think all that much is because of the recession. The problem being is that most of my users are higher income and aren’t really effected by the current economic problems. If you were me how would you market plentyoffish to take advantage of the current economic times ?
