I think advertising is generally the way to go, unless you want to add special memberships with frills that cost more than basic memberships. I like the idea of advertizing based on keywords in a member’s profile. For example, if a person writes in her interests that she likes coffee, make it so that your website will generate Starbucks adverts when she logs in.

I like your idea, btw.

The ‘dating’ sector is very competitive, you will find that most new dating sites just funnel visitors or sign ups to the bigger sites for a commission. If you want to be successful as a new dating site you have to come up with something unique.

Niche dating sites are still able to charge fairly high subscription fees, take a look at http://www.jdate.com
