PR WEB -- Jan 7 -- Previously Metrodate was dependent on premium
membership revenue (~$19.95 per month).
The decision to make the site free came from
reviewing the needs of the consumers. Feedback from users indicated
that they were growing accustomed to the trend of web sites being free.
Instead, Metrodate.com's focus for revenue will be local, targeted
advertising. FULL ARTICLE @ PR WEB

Brooks: POF makes 30c CPM from Adsense these days. Far more is
possible with direct ad sales. But Metrodate would need to build to
millions of page views to justify hiring an ad sales person. Looks
like they're running 35k visits a month right now. That should bring
in about $15.
