@Andres: When can we expect another roll out of a new feature?

TIA
I'm very close to launching this:
I'm working on Search Engine Optimization to get more people to find us when they do specific searches. To that end, I am creating a page for literally every city in the world so that when someone searches for Small Town Dating Site, we show up and capture that user.
Although not a feature per se, this will be very important to start bringing in more users, which is our #1 challenge. We currently rank highly for searches for "mobile dating" and "free mobile dating", but we don't appear anywhere for "timbuktu dating", "timbuktu single girls", "catholic timbuktu dating app", etc. This will hopefully change that as I will have a page for every possible dating site variation, for every religion, ethnicity, and body type, for every single city and town in the world. It's as complicated as it sounds and is a huge undertaking. But by having a page for each of those, we should start showing up on Google when folks make very specific searches beyond "mobile dating" and "free mobile dating" which is too generic. That should lead to more (free) traffic while I continue my quest to find out where we can do some targeted advertising to bring in even more users.

I should have it ready by the end of the week.
Hi Folks,

I just launched this massive network of links to and pages for every dating category imaginable all around the world. The idea is that no matter what type of dating site anyone from anywhere in the world searches for, we'll pop up so that we start attracting more users.

To give you an idea of just how broad, extensive, and specific this network of links and pages is, let me give you some examples using some of the smallest towns in the US.

Imagine if a resident of Lost Springs, Wyoming (population: 4) searches for a Catholic Dating App. We have that covered:

https://dating.mobi/catholic/dating-...g/lost-springs

Imagine if a resident of Freeport, Kansas (population: 5) searches for Asian Single Women. We have that covered:

https://dating.mobi/asian/single-wom...ansas/freeport

Imagine if a resident of Cooladdi, Australia (population: 3) searches for Bisexual Chat. We have that covered:

https://dating.mobi/bisexual/chat/au...sland/cooladdi

And so on and so forth. You get the idea.

The point is we have pretty much the whole world covered, from the tiniest towns to the biggest cities. We have a page for not just every single town, but every variation of religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, as well as every variation of dating sites, for each of those towns.

As this new network of millions of highly-specific links and pages start getting indexed by Google, we should start popping up in searches for just about any dating site variation so that we start capturing users from all over no matter what they search for.

It will take a while for Google to index so many new pages, but I'll be working on other features in the meantime and let Google do it's thing. Meanwhile, you can go down the rabbit hole by logging off and then checking out our homepage (dating.mobi) and you will see the first-level of variations listed at the bottom (e.g. Catholic Dating). Click on any of those, and at the bottom of that next page, you will be able to select the second-level variation of dating site (e.g. "Dating App"). Click on any of those, and at the bottom of that next page, you will be able to select any country. Click on any country, and you will see the list of states in that country. Click on any state, and you will see the list of cities in that state, with nearby cities listed as well.

This is how that network branches out, and each of those pages for all those different variations will soon be indexed by Google to start bringing more users here.

This was a massive undertaking that took me quite a lot of time but I am confident it will bear significant fruit.

I'm focusing all my efforts now on bringing more users to the site and keeping them here since our site has enough features to keep users entertained as long as there are others online at the same time which is our biggest challenge.

More to come...

@Andres: Andres, just curious about your thoughts on using Dating.mobi's Twitter acct as an advertising tool.
The account has over 2200 followers.
Any ideas on how to use it to drive more people to the site?

Here's a link to it if anyone else is interested in seeing it:

Oh, and how long do you think it will take for Google to finish the indexing?
I just searched my city and all the other usual suspects popped up with no Dating.mobi after 3 pages.

Now, I Googled, and Binged, this:

Monroe dating
Monroe dating sites


(Of course, whenever I added something like "mobile" or "cell phone", Dating.mobi was the first to pop up, as usual.)

My brief experience testing out Twitter told me it did not convert very well as it's not very targeted, but it may be worth giving it another shot. I recently added location hashtags and dating-related hashtags in our Tweets to appear in more feeds, so that should help.

The usual suspects have been doing what I just launched for years, so this will bring us up to their level. They've been doing it for years because it works, so now it's our turn to start capturing some of those users.

For example, here is our page for Monroe Online Dating Site:

https://dating.mobi/all/online-dating-site/united-states/louisiana/monroe (link)

However, if you Google it using the "site:" parameter, you will see that Google has not indexed it yet because it returns no results.

It can take weeks or sometimes months for Google to fully index pages, so this can take a while. But as you noticed, all the usual suspects have specific pages for most locations as well, so this will allow us to compete on their level for highly-specific searches, and start capturing users, particularly those who are searching from their phones as we rank highly for phone searches.
