MINYANVILLE - Feb 12 - Not only does the Internet offer "dating" sites
for every preference, it also offers them at every price range.
According to Forrester Research, the dating market was worth $957M in
2008. According to a poll by Online Dating Magazine, eHarmony is
currently the preferred site with Match.com following closely behind
it. Avid Life Media and FriendFinder are bringing in revenues through a
plethora of niche dating sites that tend to lean toward the risqué.
Both companies recently decided to shelve their plans for initial
public offerings due to concerns over the current market. Avid Life
Media had been planning a $57M IPO on the Toronto Stock Exchange in an
effort to raise money to buy Moxy Media, an online advertising sales
company. Documents filed for the IPO showed the company earned $8M in
2009 on sales of $30M, with 15% of those revenues coming from members
of AshleyMadison, the cheating site. FULL ARTICLE @ MINYANVILLE
