Marcus Frind (I think I did not spell his name correctly but you can google POF to find out the guys name if you want).
He claims that he pulls in $10,000 K a DAY and one person posted that he made several million dollars in a very short time with his plenty of fish site.
This site is about as effective as getting a date as walking into a hole in the wall bar on a weeknight and expect to find the woman of your deams (or even a single woman ). And she will have anything to do with you.
His followers are almost religeous in their zeal regarding this man and his site. Of course people are jealous that he has created a site that supposedly makes so much money.
But read the testimonials and other sub-forums on the site and it is nothing but rudeness, people leaving right and left (but there are always new suckers that take their place), the forums are heavily censored and if you are one of the favored people, you can say anything. But if you are not one of the chosen, you will have your post voted on to be deleted. So much for freedom of expression but it Is a Canadian site and they dont have that in their consititution pershaps like we do in the US.
But censorship, the fact this is mainly a chat site where people complain that all men want is sex or all women want are rich handsome guys ( same on all dating sites) but that would be ok IF this site actually connected people.
If there really WAS that much dating going on, people would not have time to complain in the forums and every third post would not be titled 'why I am leaving POF'.
As for the revenue issue, I just can't see how this site generates so much income unless google pays for each time a person logs onto the site. If THAT is the answer, then it would be easy to hire a web master, create some hot sounding site (who cares about content) and try to get someone like google on board to pay you $$$ for each site hit.
I have no problesm with people who talk the talk. The problem is that these people have to walk the walk too
it operates all around the globe so theres enough suckers to shell out money on this P O S site .its the numbers game for scummy websites and they cant lose
