May 20, 2003IMPORTANT: Partnership Policy - New RulesLoveCompass Partnership Network Policy has been altered – new section has been added – “Violations”. This section was added due to continuous cases of partners’ fraudulent behavior. Additionally, we are going to remove all partners’ accounts of the partners without web sites and without profiles, since it is obvious that they are doing nothing within the network. Please note that even more changes and restrictions will be applied soon and all partners must keep track of changes and remain active participants to stay LoveCompass Network Partners. All partners must read LoveCompass Partnership Network Policy VERY CAREFULLY. There is no way to proceed working as a partner or join as a partner if you are not agree with this policy and with possible changes of this policy. Latest changes of the Partnership Policy occurred as a reaction to the increasing number of fake profiles and profile of inactive members added by LoveCompass Partners. From now and on we will be tracking all suspicious cases carefully and we’ll have to penalize abusing partners either by introducing fines or by removing partners' accounts. VERY IMPORTANT: We are about to finish final version of aePartner 1.0 package. All partners will have to upgrade their web sites’ software to this version. LC-Dating 0.8.x software will be discontinued within 1 week after official aePartner 1.0 release. All remote queries from site with old software will be declined indefinitely. There are no exceptions and partners have to track changes themselves and upgrade their sites themselves. We will announce this change in this weblog and we’ll allow 1 week for comments and upgrades. We will also sent E-mail notifications to all partners.

May 03, 2003Credit Card Processing Company Recommended for Dating SitesWe would like to share our experience of using 2checkout.com credit card processing services. Entire LoveCompass Network successfully uses 2checkout.com services and they proved good quality and customer service.We are using 2checkout.com for almost 6 months now and they were not down for even one hour for this entire period. Sometimes there are problems with administration during heavy network load, but from our experience it looks like 100% of our payments were processed without any technical problems from 2checkout.com. So, we recommend them for any e-commerce website and of course for any dating or personals web site. Even though they are not the cheapest solution out there, you will finally understand that this is the best choice. There is a 1 time only set up fee of $49.00, after that you only pay for sales, sell nothing, pay nothing. 2checkout.com collects a 5.5% commission on each sale plus a $0.45 charge per sale. We considered and tried a lot of other billing providers, but they all had some sorts of problems or weaknesses. Some of them never responded to our letters, some don’t accept payments from Asian countries, some require high installation fee and one of biggest is so unstable and inconvenient that we were loosing most of our potential customers right after they used payment form. 2checkout.com makes it both secure and VERY simple. Even those who hate filling forms find their form easy to use and user-friendly. GO with 2checkout.com!

May 02, 2003Yahoo Personals : research / review / comments : Yahoo! Personals
About Yahoo! Inc. and Yahoo! PersonalsPower of The LeaderYahoo! Inc. is known for operating a huge, web’s most popular link directory. They are one of the biggest portals in the world and of course they have stable traffic flow of new and experienced Internet users. Yahoo! is working on providing full service for their visitors; in fact you could find almost anything you need in Internet right among Yahoo! services. Yahoo! Personals is one of their services and possibly one of their main priorities. For example, if you track how many time they put Personals banner on their front page as a main ad, you would understand that none of their services - Yahoo! Games, or Yahoo! Finance… or whatever else doesn’t ever beat that http://personals.yahoo.com page. With such a huge promotion power they could beat anyone on dating services market, but Yahoo! Inc. works on even more aggressive and global advertising campaign – you would likely see them among first or more often THE FIRST in all major and small Pay-Per-Click search engines, advertising agencies, on affiliate sites and even Google AdWords. You meet Yahoo! Personals everywhere and anywhere. This is a power of money and possibly something else… let’s read further.Services ReviewYou may happen to search for, say, “Free Personals” and find personals.yahoo.com, but you should mix things up – Yahoo! Personals IS NOT FREE. Period.They are nothing different from most other paid services – you may “Post a Free Personals Ad” but you will have to pay for monthly membership to contact other members. This is a widely used structure and many sites offer similar service. So, nothing interesting here. Additionally they have explanatory tour for newcomers and options to post voice and/or video message to you profile. Another small advantage is that members can post up tp 5 photos to their profile. It is all fine, but nothing really different or unique. There are agencies now that can offer you video/voice messengers, up to 10 photos for upload, chat, and sometimes even instant messengers. So what's so cool in Yahoo! Personals? Why they are so attractive? The answer is absolutely obvious - they are HUGE. It is one of the largest online dating services ever, with all pros and cons of this fact. And they just keep growing and growing every day - nothing stops them from getting bigger and, well, nothing should. This is where we say - Well Done Yahoo! Internet Community about Yahoo! PersonalsLoveCompass Plays ObjectivenessIt would be incorrect to share our own opinion only, especially keeping in mind the fact that LoveCompass Online Personals & Dating Services Network is a direct Yahoo! competitor in personals market. This why we decided to add comments of other dating companies, Yahoo! Personals affiliates, and individual reviews. You be the judge.Dating Sites Reviews QuotesaLoveLinksPlus.com - “…comprehensive communications system for single people in America and Canada. One drawback to their online personals is membership with Yahoo's main services is mandatory. If you want to place your free profile, you have to be a Yahoo member. Not that it's entirely a bad thing, they do offer a lot of services and features that you could make very good use of, but it does add a couple off steps if all you want to do is place your profile online.”…to be continued.
