Dating Site Statistics
The media is forever picking up on the latest research in different areas, but one arena of particular interest is that of relationships. Journalists know that a mixture of social commentary and recent hard stats on factors concerning relationships is extremely readable and a proven hit with the public, especially women. Certain publications thrive on these stats. For instance, a recent article examined the relationship between women and promiscuity, as seen over a trend of 4 years. The result that women appear to be getting more promiscuous is a headline catching snippet and a surefire way of getting the author noticed.
If you own a dating website and if you are mathematically inclined (my own background is in mathematics), you can create legitimate statistical experiments which produce results which can act as linkbait. It is possible to put up an online questionnaire and ask members to fill it out; conduct an email questionnaire campaign or just analayse the logs olinkbaitf your site users. By gathering these stats and statistically analysing the results, you may be able to produce evidence of certain trends which are both useful to your visitors and the population in general. Compose a press release based on these stats and publish your findings. Be inventive and try to gain as much publicity as possibly. If you make the effort and do your homework, these stats will be a major source of linkbait and traffic.
