RSS Feeds: How to Get Noticed on Plenty of Fish
While the online dating world can sometimes end up becoming quite frustrating for many people, even more so than dating in real life, there are some things you can do to help capture more attention and increase your chances of getting more dates.
Now granted there are tons of different online dating sites, but I'll be focusing solely on the Plenty of Fish dating site. The main reason that we will focus on this site is because it is one of the largest and most used sites in the world right now. In addition, it's also completely free, so using a profile on Plenty of Fish to experiment with different dating tactics won't cost you anything.
Update Your Main Profile Picture
One great design about Plenty of Fish is that there are always pictures of potential dates in a horizontal display section while you are browsing the vast number of online dating profiles. If you think about it, people browsing these profiles have a choice to click on one of ten pictures at any given time. It would make logical sense that a typical person will be drawn to the most appealing of those profile pictures.
It's for this exact reason that one should go to great effort to put up their best possible main profile picture. The problem here is that most people simply crop existing pictures in their albums that really aren't that great. The best approach is to take a fresh new picture and have a friend do it for you in good lighting conditions.
Log In Often
As mentioned above, there is a horizontal row of profile pictures on the top of the page that people are free to browse. However, what most people don't know is that many of those profile pictures displayed are based on the people who most recently logged into the site. In addition, when people do a search within the site, the default results are set to sort by last log in date. Thus it would be safe to conclude that if you log into the site often, your own online dating profile picture will be displayed to a lot more potential dates.
Use the Forums
Another unique aspect to Plenty of Fish is its incredibly active forums. Within these forums there are discussions of all sorts going on, typically about dating and relationships, but a wide range of topics are covered, all receiving thousands of views. Also, when members of the site participate in these forums, a link to their online dating profile is displayed. Simply having these links and a few good posts in the discussion forums has the potential to generate a ton of traffic to your online profile.
There you have it. Three effective ways to help get your online dating profile noticed on Plenty of Fish.
