This seems to be a failure of imagination.
It seems to me that a successful long term match should be your best advertising. But I haven't seen any web sites capture that or use it at all effectively. Or feed it back into their site/algorithm design.
I'm not saying this lightly: I got married about 6 weeks ago to an amazing woman that I met (thanks Aston!) on OKCupid!
I'd be more than happy to do testimonials and such, but no one's ever contacted me.
- aston 18y agoCongrats, man. OkCupid loves testimonials and was for a period of time collecting and categorizing them for some vague future use as publicity. You should send something their way just in case. As far as using that stuff for algorithmic purposes goes, I think they mostly are interpreted as proof that what exists is actually working (and thus doesn't need tweaking?). Also, depending on your demographic, certain types of testimonials are less appealing. Not sure if OkCupid is still courting the youngsters, but if they are marriage stories (as awesome as they are) may serve to scare away a profitable demographic, advertising-wise.
- mattmaroon 18y agoeHarmony has such testimonials in their ads all the time. It's kinda their bag.
