Metrodate
Metrodate may be no Match.com as it is quite unique in its own way for those that are looking to connect with others in their community. For those of you that are looking to hookup with that someone special on the internet I would definitely give Metrodate a try and check out their website as I don't think you will be disappointed.
You will find that Metrodate as well offers a wealth of information that may be quite beneficial to those that are looking for events, restaurants or singles travel in their local community if you are from the United States. If you happen to meet that special person in your local community and are looking for a quality restaurant to take that special one, then you should be able to find one that suits your taste on the Metrodate dating site.
If you decide to try out their online dating site I would recommend that you try their Free
Membership [http://www.online-dating-advisors.com/Metrodate.html] which gives you the basics like searching members profiles with personal messages, photos, videos as well as receiving voice messages from those who may be interested in you. You will find though if you want to respond to others by e-mail that you must take a Premium membership out which is $24.95 per month in USD.
As well as when filling out your Basic Membership and your profile, you must agree to their terms and conditions as well as you must provide a valid e-mail address. Their personal profile is pretty well standard like other online dating sites so you should have no problems.
It is very important though with their terms and conditions as you agree not to harass other members, try to defraud other members, do not use obscene language or photos and that you will not try to market or promote or advertise events, services or products to other members . If you are caught doing any of the preceding, your membership will be revoked and no monies owing will be returned.
I think you will find that the Metrodate online dating site is like most of the better online dating sites as they take their members privacy very serious and if you are to join you should realize you have to play by the rules. I wish you the best of luck in your online dating endeavors and may you find that someone special to bring happiness into both your lives.

A lot of internet dating sites claim to offer a free service, Metro Date actually offers one. This is a site which focuses primarily on offering rendezvous and local information for members in the US, though it also has a more international feel as you can choose from a bounty of countries as your location.
Dating site Metrodate.com just announced that they are going to make their website absolutely free of charge.
Metrodate:
- was launched in 1998 (reached 10 year milestone)
- depended on premium membership revenue (until now)
- currently services 220 countries (focusing on metropolitan areas)
Let’s take a closer look at their press release to see why they decided to go 100% free. Let’s also take a quick glance at traffic quantity and quality to see what they have to offer consumers.
Why Change?
Why did Metrodate go from paid dating service to a free (ad supported) model?
According to the press release issued by Elaine Chan of True Communication, Inc. (which operates Metrodate):
- they made the decision after reviewing the needs of their user base
- users said they were growing accustomed to web sites being free
- they will focus on local, targeted advertising for revenue
Bradley Pliner (President of True Communication, Inc.) said:
“I want more people to have the opportunity to utilize the upgraded and redesigned Metrodate.com, and making it free was the clearly the best way to accomplish this.”
How Much Did Metrodate Cost Before Going Free?
We added Metrodate to our site on July 1st, 2008. When we checked their prices last year, they were charging a flat $29.95/month. We did not find a discount for yearly memberships.
In their press release this week, they said their site cost “about $19.95/month” so they may have lowered their prices at some point during the last six months.

Based on the above, one can say that the quality of traffic is good. Visitors tend to stay long and view a lot of pages per visit. Quantity of traffic still needs work but should improve now that the site is free.
All values were based on data provided by Compete, a free service that triangulates multiple data sources to estimate U.S. traffic.
Thank You
We applaud Metrodate’s courage in light of the current economic climate.
Many companies buckle down, cut expenses, fall back to guaranteed revenue streams or otherwise react negatively to economic downturns. Companies without vision will slash advertising budgets and online advertising as a whole will probably shrink.
Metrodate gave up a steady revenue stream (monthly subscription fees) to try an uncertain revenue model in response to the needs of their users.
Such a big gamble at a time like this? It takes courage. It also shows faith in online advertising and responsiveness to user feedback. Hopefully, the gamble will pay off. We wish them and their users the best. More dating sites means more competition and more competition leads to better value for consumers.
We’d like to thank Bradley Pliner, Elaine Chan and everybody else at True Communication for changing to a 100% free dating site. We applaud your company’s positive move at a time when mass media fills our heads with economic doom and gloom.
