OPW - Sep 21 - After posting notes from the iDate Paris presentation: The Turkish And Middle Eastern Dating Markets, we received an email from Tarmer Kulmac claiming that his company, eCift.com, is the market leader in Turkey in matchmaking industry and Siberalem.com is one of the top casual dating sites in Turkey. eCift.com started 9 months ago and has currently ~820K registered members. They have recently closed a financing round led by international european VCs including BrainsToVentures in Swiss and Corporate Finance Partners in Frankfurt. They also have Konstantin Urban, the former founder of Parship as business angel on board.
Check eCift and eDarling / eHarmony.
eCift and eDarling logos are quite similar, the homepage is quite similar.
eCift seems to be a clon of eDarling / eHarmony
"eCift.com - Yenilikçi ve güvenilir hayat arkadaşı ve ciddi ilişki bulma sitesi
Yüzbinlerce kaliteli bekâr ciddi ilişki arama konusunda eÇift’e güveniyor. Bilimsel araştırmalardan yola çıkarak tasarlanan İdeal Çift Metodu ile üyelerimize, ideal bir uyumluluk gösterdikleri ve uzun süreli, mutlu bir ilişki yaşama ihtimalleri son derece yüksek üyeler önerilir. Bu şekilde çok yüksek bir başarı şansı sağlayabilmekteyiz. "
means using Google translate (it is a Tarzanic translation, but I see several points in common with eDarling / eHarmony)
eCift.com - Innovative, reliable and serious partner sites to find relationships
Search for hundreds of thousands of serious relationship quality in unmarried eÇift'e trust. Based on scientific research methods are designed with an ideal double our members, their compatibility with an ideal and long lasting, happy relationship and a very high probability members are recommended to live.

"E-posta adresiniz ve belirleyeceğiniz bir şifreyle ücretsiz kayıt olduktan sonra kişilik analiz testini yapmanız yeterlidir. Kişilik analiz testini tamamladığınız an yüksek uyumluluk gösterdiğiniz ve hemen tanışabileceğiniz üye önerileri almaya başlayacaksınız."
e-mail address and password to set free after signing a personality analysis test is enough to do. The moment you've completed the analysis of personality testing, and immediately you can meet your high compliance members will begin receiving proposals.
I will investigate further.

eCift's logo is quite similar to eDarling's one.
eCift's homepage is quite similar to eDarling's one.
They both begin with e.
Those 3 things made me think eCift was a clon of eDarling, but the true is
eCift is Parship simplified and rebranded for the Turkish market.

Ecift is not the Turkish market leader. There are istanbul.net (and subsidaries), siberalem.com, gonuldensevenler.com. These are the real market leaders.
Then in serious matchmaking there are evlilikmerkezi.com,pembepanjur.com,turkevlilik.com which are all picking up with modest budgets.
Unlike the others, Ecift is riding a big wave of advertisement investment. It's hard to say whether they will come up on top or not once their ad budget stabilizes.
