In our new age of actively promoted technologies, where every human being is affected by progress and, always, dependent on the Internet, we’re “slaves” of online communication. Ask yourself, “How many things are you doing online?” Well, yeah. News? We’re listing them online. Cooking? If you’re not a kitchen geek (and even if you are) - you’re seeking recipes on the Internet. Relationships? We’re using dating sites. Sites are the core resource on the Internet. However, creating and promoting your own site, especially in the adult dating niche, isn’t an easy task. The competition is really high.
Understanding the Dating Site Audience
Knowing your audience is half the battle won. A dating niche means getting up close and personal with. So tenderbang for people who look for one-night dates. If you think, “Yeah, I will create a dating site and will be rich” - hold your horses.
You Know What They Want - User Intent
User intent is your North Star when digging through SEO strategy. It shapes your keyword research, so you can be sure your website won’t show on top of search among other stuffed pink ponies for 3+ shops.
Keyword Research and On-Page SEO
There are 16 types of SEO keywords:
- 3 types of keywords by length
- 3 types of keywords by role
- 6 types of keywords by target
- 4 types of keywords by search intent
For example, long-tail keywords are phrases that are longer and more specific than common “online dating.” It is like “looking to date tonight.” Typically consisting of three or more words, they target a niche audience rather than a mass appeal, more specific query. We won’t be covering them all, but if you’re not an SEO specialist or a guru in the adult dating niche, you may want to look for more info on the SEO landscape elsewhere.
Content Optimization
Oh, this is a huge, nasty subtopic to cover. Long story short, but we’ll try. To put it simpler - content is a wall of your site, and keywords are bricks. If you’re the owner of a dating site, you’re writing content for people in real need of dates for one time. So basic things you do are:
- Writing interesting content for whatever who read it
- Using the pool of keywords, you found
- Sitting... waiting... Google will bless you (joking)
Types of content for a dating site
- Blog Posts: Interesting articles on different naughty topics
- Success Stories: User testimonials of positive dating experience
- Guides: “How-to date” articles, etc.
- Safety Tips: Tips on how to avoid scum
- Infographics: Statistics and trends in online dating
- Interactive Content: Quizzes, surveys, and polls on preferences
- FAQ Section: Answers to common questions about using the dating site
- Video Content: Dating tips and profile optimization guides
- Podcasts: Discussions about relationships and interviews with experts
Keep in mind that whoever comes to your dating site will be interested in reading quality content. Also, you had better do research on your competitors and choose the strategy.
If you’re poor and can’t use a dating app, mobile optimization is your best friend. Most users these days use their iPhones and Androids to consume whatever Google has to spit out, so you want your website to be shown pretty and polished.
Speed and Security
A fast-loading site and secure connections are the bedrock of trust. They're not just technical niceties but essential features that keep those folks safe and engaged, propelling your site up the search engine rankings.
Age Verification and Legal Compliance
It is better to come up with a good (and real, not just mail) verification on your site. Also, you better keep an eye on moderation in chat.
Backlink Building
Crafting attention to your site through high-quality backlinks is an art, and it isn’t cheap. However, it has a high chance of raising your visibility in search.
Conclusion
SEO is a huge topic with endless possibilities. But you should remember that the user and search engine are your Gods (may they be blessed). To move your dating site to the top, you should be wise, patient, and lucky. So, go there, learn, analyze, and try different strategies. In the worst case, it is a fun experience. In the best case, you will become a part of the market that connects people in different positions…
