i like the site, it looks classy to fit it's viewers (hopefully )...i like the picture, but maybe add a few more or even put in a javascript slideshow so that you take up the least amount of space but include more pictures of happy couples to attract more ppl. also, the colors may be a bit dark, but if that's what you're going for super...otherwise, i'd try and lighten it up a bit!

I love the font for Sugardaddie.com at the top and the background
of that graphic.

Consider making it SugarDaddie.com ( capital D )

I suggest you be consistent. It's "daddie" in the domain name.
But, in your text you use "sugar daddy" several times.
Don't weaken your brand/identity or increase the chance that
someone will try to get back to you with sugardaddy.com
(which seems to be a completely unrelated site - and the
most common spelling)

Your tagline is comma happy:
Instead of this:
"Where the classy, attractive, and affluent, can meet."
Consider this:
"Where the classy, attractive and affluent meet"

I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I would carefully research
the most effective order of those 3 characteristics: classy,
attractive and affluent. Put them in descending order of importance
(i.e. the most important first, least important last).
I don't know your target audience, so I'm not sure which resonates
more or less. But, I do know that one order will be more effective
than the others.


A lot of people go both ways on this one, but I prefer
"who" over "that" when the noun is human.

So, instead of this:
"Sugar daddy personals dating site, for those that enjoy spoiling and pampering. Search our personals for members that lead a better than average lifestyle, and those that want to share it with them."

I would rewrite to this:
"SugarDaddie personals dating site is for people who enjoy spoiling and pampering. Search our personals for members who lead a better than average lifestyle and those who want to share it with them."

"that" is used in the definitions and I'm sure a lot of other places also.

I would user SugarDaddie, SugarMommie, SugarBabe (leading letter
of each words is a capital).

From a quick look at the database, it's clear that some members didn't
understand the definitions. I did a search for a SugarMommie and saw
many people looking to be pampered. Clean up (i.e. moving people into the
correct categories) would help in the long run.

No apostrope:
"This is a unique dating site that allows it's members to be open to a particular aspect of dating."
Pronouns aren't made possessive with an apostrophe. "it's" means "it is".

I don't know how, but it would be much more convenient if "larger" pics for members
came up in the same window. I'm sure one of the wizards here can tell you how to do that. I've seen it done.

I'm guessing/hoping that members can do an "advanced search" to limit
the results by state. Ideally, a filter in the search by "last login date" too.
Someone who hasn't logged in since 2002, isn't a "first round" find. ;-)


So many dating sites buy their member content that you should consider
some way(s) to communicate that your site is full of people who
actually joined *your* site ... and that your site is active.

For example:

I would display the number of people in each category.
I would display the number of members who logged in, in the
past 30 days.
I would display the number of messages sent, the number of
searches done, the number of profile views, etc, etc.

Right there on the home page.
Activity will inspire more activity.

So many of the pics in the database seem to be of the same
strange low quality... it makes me wonder if your site uses
some sort of space-saving, quality-reducing processing
technique on the pics (not just on the thumbnails).
It doesn't seem likely so many different people could be submitting
pics with such similar low quality characteristics. Whatever
the reason(s), bad pics reduce the value of your entire operation.
It doesn't fit with "classy", "attractive" or "affluent".

It's a good site. It's a good niche.
Tons of competition. Many, larger, more well known, better
funded competitors.
If you want to try something that goes beyond just a website and
just email, I have some software that will keep your members
glued to you and each other ;-) Private Message me.

Good Luck !

I have found through word of mouth with other Sugarbabies that the men on the site tend to be rude,fraudulant and cheap.
Maybe it would be an idea to screen the Sugardaddie and Sugarmommies identity and make full membership free for Sugarbabies?
Im sure this would result in a more genuine satisfaction for your members both male and Female
xxx :p
Also have you seen the yahoo-groub dedicated to discussing your site?
You could recive a lot of feedback from there.
Best of luck!!

Have you considered verification of members? Most people like to know the people there are real. I was contacted by a Nigerian scam artist posing as one of the Gents. Most Women I know are jumping over to Wealthymen.com because of the verification.
Maybe even bring a private verification company that the people can go through. This also eliminates the people feeling the need to give out all of their information to make someone they want to meet comfortable. It cuts down on the scam artists trying to use the site as well.

Just a thought
