Getting Maximum Exposure Of Your Personal Profile

Getting Maximum Exposure Of Your Personal Profile by Alena Fox

Getting on Top of the Search Results
When you do a search, the results appear in a specific order. If your profile appears near the top of the search result list your chances of getting an email are vastly improved. Users are far more likely to email the first few dozen people on a search result list, so it’s absolutely vital that you are up there. The reason for this will be obvious when you start searching for profiles yourself. You will find that your patience and attention span wears thin after reading a few dozen profiles.

How do you get up the top?
Some sites will allow you to pay to get listed at the top, but in most cases it is just a matter of being recently active on the site, so make sure that you log into the site every day and/or update your profile so that you can stay up there. The time of day you actually log in can also make a difference. Being online just before or during peak time means you’ll be right up the top. This is most important for sites that have hundreds of thousands of profiles. This really is a vital trick of Internet dating, as many people wonder why they get a flood of initial emails, which trickle off to nothing after a week or two. Make sure you check the policy and mechanism behind these schemes, as at least one well known site will happily take your money to list you at the top of the search results. But what they don’t tell you is that the person searching must select various (non-default) search options before your profile will show up. Make sure you use the next few tips about searching for your own profile to guarantee you are getting your monies worth.

Searching for your own profile
Believe it or not, many people just submit their profile and don’t even bother to check if/when/how it’s listed. So make sure that you do a regular search pretending to be the opposite sex using wide search criteria and see where your profile turns up. For instance, if you search the entire country for people +/- 5 years your age, and your profile pops up near the top of the list then you are doing fantastic. If your profile doesn’t show up against your direct competition then do something about it now. You never know who is logged on and doing a search. Do a search with wide criteria first. If you are on top of this list then you will also be up the top on more refined searches.

Checking Out the Competition
Imagine you are the opposite sex who has just logged onto a new personals site; what are you going to do? Obviously you will do a search for profiles that match some criteria and then you’ll browse through the top of the search result list until you are tired of it. You will then email the ones that sound interesting. Now obviously if you aren’t in the top of the search results then the other person isn’t even going to see your profile. The other key point there is the word interesting. If your profile, and your profile headline don’t stand out compared to your competition then you might as well not have bothered. You might get lucky if you have a photo up that appeals to someone, but don’t bet the farm on it. You need to get the whole package right to make it stand out and look attractive. If you have a profile with a dark blurry photo and a single paragraph saying something like, “I like music, movies and going out and having a good time. Email me to find out more,” and your competition has a great photo mosaic with pages of detailed information about what a fantastic and interesting life they lead, who would you email? Your profile must stand out from the crowd, it’s that simple. If you want lots of email and Internet dating to work for you then this is single biggest thing that you must get right. Do a search for the competition and see how many responses they get (beware of fake numbers generated by people emailing themselves). If your profile isn’t as good then you have your work cut out for you.
