Free Dating Websites Can Be a Thorn in the Side for Match and eHarmony
Free dating websites can be considered a mixed bag for the top dating sites since they are effectively competing for the same user. Their presence was felt when OkCupid, another free dating site that came up rapidly in the ranks to command a top 200 position of the most visited sites in the US.

We can argue whether the acquisition by Match was in part to dampen the market for free dating websites or whether there were genuine reasons to translate the profiles to their paid system. Whatever the reason, the free dating websites continue to grow in strength and this is confirmed by the many online singles joining these sites on a daily basis. Only time will tell how these two behemoths will share this vast marketing space for online singles. What we do know is that this market is continuing to grow at an unprecedented rate fueled by the numerous internet devices such as smartphones, tablets finding their way into the hands of many.
