Creating Logos and Unique Content

Creating logos and unique content

I really enjoyed reading the latest article from Daniel Henningsson on how to make your site look unique. It is excellent and I will certainly be following up on some of his expert tips. In my recent article outlining a Dating site set up checklist, I mentioned a number of areas that I would cover in more depth when setting up a site, primarily aimed at making your site look different from the excellent, but basic, templates provided by DateTec.

I recently transferred one of my dating sites from World Dating Partners to DateTec, and needed to set up again. With a few modifications it is already getting some great conversions. If you follow some of these basic steps, you could have a site that looks something like this:

Submitting you sites to search engines and directories

Once you have created your niche dating sites and are happy with them you have to tell the search engines to add them to their index. Normally this happens automatically but it can take months.

Choosing a good domain name

The first step to getting your business started is choosing a good name for your website. Pick a name that is memorable, easy to write and is relevant to what the web site is about. So if it is about vegetarian dating then try and get the word dating or singles or meet and the word vegetarian or some such relevant keyword in the domain. Don’t make it too long or use difficult spelling, consider the word of mouth and off line advertising aspects of the name. more…

Some tips for a dating site design

The first thing to consider is how visitors are going to react in the first few seconds they see your niche dating web page. On the web we have to grab attention quickly to keep the visitors on the site long enough to communicate our message. The more attractive the dating website’s front page, the more attention it gets and the longer the visitor stays. The general layout, the logo, the color combination of the site plays a major role whether a person coming to your website stays on it long enough to read the site or bounces straight out. more…

Using niches to profit from dating

The old saying “build and they will come” really doesn’t work on the internet. Of course you have to build, but that is the easy part, the problem is to make people visit your dating site and once there sign up and subscribe or buy from you. There are millions and millions of dating websites and choices out there for surfers so you have to be quite smart about all the stages from attracting these singles to getting them to spend their hard earned money with you. more…

Article # 23 – Get closer to Google

One of the accounts I run for myself has gone almost meteoric over the Christmas and New Year period.

Article #21 – What’s your strategy for growth and longer-term value?

As the Christmas holidays loom, it’s a great time to take stock of the year that was 2010, and to do some planning for 2011. Let’s face it, there’s only so much Wii you can play with the kids, and film re-runs you can watch, so make some use of the downtime and take stock. If running dating sites is your only means of income, it could be a good opportunity to discuss it with family & friends too – what do they think about it, and where do they think there are tricks you could be missing? Let’s face it, this business isn’t like you’re selling life insurance or banking products…it’s interesting, and EVERYONE always has an opinion about it. Listen to your friends and family and see what they think. more…
