Hitwise US internet dating rankings have recently been updated and here is the top sites by traffic according to Hitwise which monitors internet traffic and collects data directly from ISP networks. Hitwise is a commercial product where you have to pay to access data reports similar to Comscore. It is used to measure market share of a vertical for online businesses.
Here is the sites that topped the list:
1. Singlesnet
2. Plentyoffish
3. Yahoo! Personals
4. Match.com
5. Adam4Adam.com
6. DateHookup.com
7. TRUE.com
Other noteworthy sites that moved up and down were BlackPeopleMeet.com moved up from #11 to #10 and Mate1.com fell off the top 15 to the number 17th position. This list looks a lot different in the UK and other countries. Gaydar.co.uk usually tops the list in the UK and PlentyofFish in Canada followed closely by Lavalife. Isn’t it funny to see that eHarmony.com didn’t even make the top 5 list. Someone needs to tell them that they can’t promote an online dating site by simply buying TV commercials over and over.
Hitwise also reported “Free Dating Site” U.S. Rankings for June, 2008:
1. PlentyofFish.com
2. DateHookup.com
3. OKCupid.com
4. HotorNot.com
5. WebDate.com
