According to hitwise: Each day Hitwise analyses
the networks of a range of ISPs, counting the visits that any website
receives from the ISPs subscribers. The figures from each ISP are
then aggregated and analysed to calculate a site's position in the
rankings. The figures may be a little misleading as not all UK
ISPs provide data to hitwise.
However the Nielsen//NetRatings' (reported April 2004)
puts DatingDirect.com at number one with 414,000 unique users a month,
then Meetic.co.uk, with 391,000; uDate.com, 292,000;
MSN.co.uk/love dating site, with 233,000, and Yahoo! Personals, at
230,000.
Other dating agencies worth mentioning
TrustCupid
Online Dating - A new uk dating agency with an honesty policy
and star sign compatibility. Free Membership for six months if you
quote B8BY when you join.
Faceparty Not strictly a dating
site but as it has over 2 million members, most of them in the UK,
it is worth a mention. All ages on the site. However if you are
easily offended then perhaps it is not for you.
Please note that the views expressed are entirely
our own and in no way recommend that you join or not join a particular
site.
If you are a UK based dating agency and want your
site reviewed, wish to correct any errors or provide more up-to-date
information please tell dateing.org.uk.
