Target social networking sites like myspace, these are the places people usually hang out most of the time. :lol:

Really that much to start promoting your dating website. I believe a quarter of that and some serious directory submissons, getting articles written and also sumitting that will all help. Last but not least is patience. After that just keep up with the marketing softly kinda like costing an already moving car. my 2 cents

10K budget is required when the site is making at least 50K-60K revenues not from very beginning otherwise it would be just wastage. Most important thing is targeting, I would suggest to start with targeting “singles” (both sex) from your niche categories. ;)

As my past experience, I would like to suggest you to use social networking site.

This kind of site can play most effective role. most people are there for relationship and they are seeking to some one for friendship like relation so you can target your site there.

Put some interesting profile on your home page to attract people and extend their stay there.

Use instant messaging system and email messaging so any one join with Gmail or yahoo ID you can get all its contact list and send them mail to join too.

Try some unique Idea like create poll, use prize and free gift.

First of all Congrats for your new dating website. There are lots of ways of advertising but you have to think yourself that how much amount you can effort for advertisement. So could you tell me your budget? Hope I will be able to suggest you a best way according to your budget.

Thanks!

I would recommend:
* Link exchange with other related sites.
* Make announcements in different forums and blogs.
* Do banner promotion or exchange
* PPC ad
* Social Networking Site like Myspace is a good place to promote your site.
* Starting from a local niche
* Make an ebook about dating guide and sell it on ebay.

Promoting a dating site is a hard work process, we have to really consistently submitting and promoting it.
