Singles looking for love online use the hours at work to search for a new partner. According to statistics gathered by zanox, a leading supplier of performance based online marketing, leads to online dating Web sites are highest between the working hours of 7:00 am and 5:00 pm.



One would expect that consumers would search for love online using dating Web sites in the evening, but in actuality most users click through to dating sites on their lunch break, typically between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm, as well as late afternoon between 4:00 and 6:00 pm. Although there is still activity in the online dating market at night, the number of new members logged in the evening is considerably lower than compared to the hours of daylight.

In addition, zanox�s research found that consumers� willingness to look for love online is also influenced by the seasons. When temperatures drop, online dating traffic rises. Just this Autumn, the number of online dating leads grew by 55 percent from August to September 2008.



Zanox offers affiliate marketing for be2, I wanna Date, Parship, Relatieplanet and Lexa. Web sites can increase traffic to their Web-spot through affiliate marketing, meaning the number of people clicking through to the different dating sites and any profits are easily monitored.
