Who’s been peeking at you?
That’s the subject line of an email we send out at SexyAds.com when someone has made a comment on a member’s profile or photograph and it can’t go public until they approve it. We were sending out a notice when the comment was received but it didn’t seem to get noticed. Obviously it was a crap wording because it didn’t convey what was really going on.
I couldn’t figure out why more people weren’t coming back in to see what others were writing. When you create a profile or place an ad on a dating site, you want to know who’s been looking at you. One of the most popular links is the one that tells members how many profile hits they’ve had since they logged in last. So I went to sleep and thought about how I could let people know in a way that was meaningful.
When I woke up, I knew it was peeking. I wrote a short memo letting them know that someone had been peeking at their profile (or photo) and had left a comment and here was the login url to read it and approve it (or delete it, if it didn’t please them). Sure enough, people started coming back to read and approve. People who are serious about meeting online are coming back and leaving comments for others.
The commenting on profiles and photos is fairly recent for us and we’re overwhelmed at how many people check out the photos and leave really nice notes. One I read yesterday made me crack up. He said, “Oh my god.. if I don’t get to meet you my life will never be the same. You are a goddess.” I clicked on the woman’s photo and if she was under 250 pounds I’m 10 feet tall. It just goes to prove what I always say – there is someone for everyone and the “two tits on a stick” figure type is not the most popular body size by far.
Amazing message.
I think you’ll check out our page..
Ciao
some of them are funny and some are really dumb..they still ask for age, race or occupation eventhough its already stated in the profiles…sigh!
Do you think the dating website is really useful to help you find your love?
Take heart. It just shows that if you think you are dumb, they are even dumber people around!
Hi Language Translator,
Yes, I think for many people around the world, dating sites provide a great way to meet someone. It certainly worked for me personally. It worked for my daughter, it worked for my housekeeper, it worked for one of our company employees and many thousands of our members.
Is it for everyone? Probably not but it’s a great way to widen your search field for that right person. It’s just a new tool to help you out, not a one-stop shopping. You’ll still meet people through friends or acquaintances and you’ll still meet people as you move through your day.
Try it.. you’ll never know til you do.
