In 2004, residents of the United States spent $469.5 million on online dating and personals. By 2005, this number had grown to over $500 million! The online dating business is the second largest area of “paid content” on the web, according to the Online Publishers Association (OPA).

By the end of 2004 844 dating sites were online. Although the market is largely dominated by the online dating giants, it can be very difficult sorting through all the options (over 800 of them!) and find the perfect dating site for you.

With these (somewhat outdated) stats it is not surprising http://www.onlinedatingtips.org/ ordered a review me review from Dating SOS.

Online Dating Tips is there to help the confused online dater figure out which dating site fits him or her best. ODT is a free guide to online dating, offering reviews of the most recommended dating sites, tips for how to find love online and frequently asked questions about dating on the Internet.

The website is nicely designed, but could use some color! It is easy to navigate from dating tips to the reviews of online dating websites. However, I cannot help but notice that the layout is – although it is nicely put together – starting to become outdated in style. This site would benefit more from some sort of online magazine or blog format.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover though, because although the publishing method and layout is something that could use updating, the actual information offered is well organized and easy to read.

Singles who have reservations or questions about online dating will find onlinedatingtips.org to be a good resource to start with.
