Before you stumble over to eHarmony for what they are calling their Free Communication Weekends which seems to take place every single weekend think about joining a couple free dating sites like PlentyOfFish.com or even KissCafe.com because in the end you’re wallet will thank you. Here’s why:
Free dating sites are here to stay and in the end will always be free. One of the biggest free dating sites in the world, plentyoffish.com which has millions of users, could very easily start selling their services for a monthly cost but never will. Once a dating site declares it’s self as a free dating site you’re pretty much going to be lucky enough to never have to pay to meet someone – it’s almost guaranteed.
But what is this free communication weekend all about anyways?
Well apparently you will be able to sign up and communicate to members of eHarmony for free, during the whole weekend but will have to start paying come Monday morning – by that time you’ve already provided your credit card information and the dating site bills will start coming in – especially if you decide to contact someone. This is a classic bait-and-switch scenario and if you’re not careful you could find youself in debt by the end of the month.
Free communication weekend is an attack on free dating sites
In my humble opinion, the concept of free communication weekends were setup in an attempt to direct the public away from the concept of free dating sites and to the concept of free communication. Can you imagine what a free dating site could pull in if they started advertising that their services were ‘free communication weekend services’? They would get some of the traffic that eHarmony is competing for. Now that eHarmony has put the idea of free communication weekend into the minds of future daters, when they search the search engines there is a good chance that their searches will be related to ‘free communication’ and of course we know who they’ll find.
Well not anymore. I hope some of the owners of free dating sites find this article and start marketing their services as ‘free communication weekend’ just as eHarmony has and if you do I can almost guarantee that your traffic and conversion rates will increased especially if you indicate, loudly and clearly that your new members will never have to pay a penny.
