2,000 Members!

Posted on Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

We are proud to announce another milestone 2,000 active members! You have to love exponential growth and at Datepad we’re loving this upward trend!

Our first 1,000 members took a little over months and our climb to the next 1,000 active members has taken less than 30 days!

We look forward to our next update which will be 5,000 members.

Milestone Reached - 1000 Members

Posted on Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Datepad is proud to announce that we have recently reached a new milestone. We have kept our promise of bringing the community the best free online dating articles and the ultimate free online dating site, and our hard work is paying off.

It took over two whole months to reach our first milestone of 500 members, which is quite a feat for a new competitor in this niche. However, Datepad toppled the 1000 member milestone in under a month this time.

The snowball is starting to roll, keep following us as we journey to become the internet’s best free online dating service. Happy Dating!

Milestone Reached - 500 Members

Posted on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Ever since our public launch on March 1st, the Datepad team has been hammering nonstop with new features, new articles, new viral marketing strategies, and much more.  It looks like that hard work has been paying off as we have just had our 500th member join the site yesterday.  There are many dating startups that launch on the web every month, but few have the potential to survive long term and really grow into something.  Luckily for us, Datepad is one of those diamonds in the rough.

We will now be striving to reach the 1000 member landmark, and at the rate that Datepad has been growing I do not think that it will take very long.

To our success, and to you finding your soulmate through the internet’s first social dating website - cheers!

Week Three in Review

Posted on Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

The first few months for any startup, especially in the dating niche, is to find ways to build enough traffic to satisfy the first members to the site.  I believe we are greatly accomplishing that, as we have just had our 10,000th visit to the site.  This is the first step into adding another zero or two onto that number as our site grows and becomes the king of the free online dating services.

Social Dating

Posted on Monday, March 3rd, 2008

When the Datepad.com idea was originally conceived, we knew that while there were other free dating sites on the market we knew we could do better. With an incredibly clean and fresh feel to our site that makes navigation a breeze to our regularly updated article section that offers dating tips, health suggestions, our fun top 10 lists and of course sex!

After completing hours of testing and a nation wide focus group one of the areas we knew we had to focus on was member pictures! Because of this we have developed what we believe is the best picture uploading/viewing system on the net. We not only optimize your picture when you upload it but in order to make that perfect thumbnail we have added a cropping feature.

It looks like that creative thinking has truly been worth it, as our article about how to be a great first date has received over 1600 views! Talk about a killer launch party!
