PR WEB -- Feb 19 -- When members of the Internet Dating Executive Alliance (IDEA) met last
month at the Miami Internet Dating Conference,
the economy was a popular topic of
discussion. Yet unlike the doom and gloom you might hear at conferences
for any other industry, much of the talk centered on how numbers across
the board are holding or are up for Internet dating sites. Hitwise
reports that the Internet dating industry gained 12% more site visits
in 2008 over 2007. The peak period for Internet dating sites is Nov
through Valentine's Day each year. Hitwise reports that the top 100
dating sites gained 2% more site visits for the three month period of
Nov '07 to Jan '08 vs. Nov '08 to Jan '09. Free dating sites gained
55% more visits in the same period.
