PRESS RELEASE -- Dec 20 -- World Dating Partners, an online dating platform provider, has partnered with Think Partnership's (Vintacom) Relationship Exchange to form a dating membership database of over 20 million members. Relationship Exchange will use World dating Partners platform to run all of its partners dating services worldwide.
Mark Brooks: Smart move. Vintacom/Relationship Exchange has been a little neglected of late. Think bought them, the founders both left, then they moved the HQ 3000+ miles to Tampa. The technology was in need of a refresh. WDP should bring them back up to par.
It’s great to see that Relationship Exchange is now part of the World Dating Partners and shows the real strength of the system, so very different from any other white label service.
What World Dating Partners is NOT, is a PHP script and Mysql database, which is why it is being used by large brands as an enterprise system running over 30 servers, developed over 3 years in Java, using Spring Technology, and over two Oracle storage units. WDP is expanding now at a further 1-2 million a month as more and more sites join us as a financially viable option to running their own sites and cutting the overheads and headaches related to running a large dating service.
Over the past few weeks, WDP has taken on a further 14 million members from Relationship Exchange (RE) and is about to extend yet further again with a further 8 million with a new announcement imminent in the New Year, which by the end of January will have a database of an astounding 28 million. World dating Partners by average integrate up to 4 or more sites on a monthly basis, which is testament not only to the speed of growth in just less than 8 months. We do in fact have much bigger projects lined up for 2008, which will double this figure before June, making World Dating Partners not only the largest Dating White Label System, but the largest dating organisation in the world.
The customer experience itself is feature rich and the White Labelling service is truly what it says, with an extremely high retention rate and currently being used by over 300 radio stations worldwide, 34 TV stations and programs, over 30 newspapers worldwide, including New York, South Africa, Australia, to name just a few. We are also lucky enough now to be working with mainline magazine publishers in the UK and USA with 150 brands and 200 in the UK and Europe.
From a marketing point of view WDP has only been active for around 6 months and now with a strong financial background and history will start marketing in earnest this year, I am sure you will hear a lot more about us over the next 12 months, We process 41 currencies and virtually every card that can be processed from across Europe, the USA and Asia, this also includes direct debit processing which in particular works well in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
In the New Year WDP will be opening new offices in Los Angeles and later in Boston to expand their operation in the USA, with so many major brands being used by our services now. The increase in business is due to intelligent due diligence of companies, who research the current market thoroughly to find a system that caters for their specific needs and guarantees a high level of security and protection for their members, in fact you don’t have to dig too deep to discover the differences, its why we put so much into development.
Not content with just big brands, world Dating Partners services, (primarily built to accommodate and work well with “Super affiliates” is now seeing hundreds of affiliates a week flooding in from companies like FriendFinder and AdultFriendfinder, with its conversion rates and revenue potential now proven to be far more lucrative, as members stay longer and WDP paying on not only Initial and recurring payments, but also on renewals as well. But more importantly willing to sacrifice and hand out extremely high profits and percentages to affiliates from other services, that have high traffic.
World Dating Partners is now recognised now by iMedia as one of the top 80 Internet organisations in Europe and also involved at APAC at a recent conference on anti-fraud systems. This is because we have developed our own unique protection system and spend a lot of time on manual checking of profiles to keep our sites clean and allow our members to get on with the dating they have in mind instead of worrying about who is going to scam them. Since its launch at the iDate exhibition in 2006 as the Gold sponsors, when Relationship Exchange was the Platinum this coming year WhiteLabeldating will be the Platinum sponsors and World Dating Partners as Gold yet once again.

This is very exciting news for everyone involved:
1) Relationship Exchange partners have been looking for an update to their sites, their members will have a fresh and feature rich site giving them better value at the same membership pricing.
2) Relationship Exchange will once again have a platform to bring in new partners.
3) World Dating Partners own existing affiliates will have even better prospects for promoting sites in the USA because of the increased database and further increase in active traffic.
4) All members on both Relationship Exchange sites and World Dating Partners sites will benefit from the increase in database size. Everyone likes to be able to see more potential dates!
Naturally I am very excited about the partnership; this positions World Dating Partners as the premium white label dating provider in North America.
