WhiteLabelDating.com ranked 6th in the UK

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We are very excited to announce that WhiteLabelDating.com is now ranking as the 6th most popular dating site, according to the latest ComScore Media Metrix numbers.

This is fantastic news as it now confirms WLD as the biggest and best white label provider in the UK.  If our enormous growth over the last 12 months is anything to go by, this can only get better. We are certainly expecting to be putting the likes of Match.com under pressure by the end of the year!

Of course, our huge success is also down to the hard work that our partners put into keeping their own sites up and running. This coupled with the continuous discovery of new partners and in-turn new ideas, we expect numbers of visits to have doubled by December.

One of UK’s most active ‘domainers’ partners with WLD

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

We are pleased to announce a brand new partnership between WLD and Neil Stanley, another brilliant success story from Internet World. Neil has already launched a range of sites with us, two of which are a regional sites, BognorSingles.co.uk. and MatchLondon.co.uk.

Neil is currently one of the UK’s most active ‘domainers‘, making a profit buying and selling domain names. After meeting our team at the London Exhibition this year, he decided that it was time to start building some of his domains into functional websites, as this was a more lucrative opportunity.

With a great eye for a good domain name and well designed sites, we are expecting to see a fantastic personal portfolio from Neil in the future.

Internet World - 3 months on

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Internet World may by now feel like a distant memory, but here at WLD we are still seeing some great results from the show:-

We are pleased to announce the launch of AlreadyHere.co.uk on behalf of Paul Watt, who decided to become a partner with WLD after meeting us at Internet World this year, and saw great potential to generate additional revenue for himself.

His idea was to create a site that implies that there are many people ‘already here’ within the online dating community, waiting to be found, and that any potential members should not feel alone in their quest to find a partner. This inspiration came from the desire to remove any stigma that some people may still see as being attached to online dating.

I’m very happy to announce the arrival of the latest member to our development team, Tim Blair, who begins today. Tim’s joining us as Senior Developer and brings a wealth of experience, expert knowledge and hardcore frisbee-throwing skills to the company. We’re all delighted to welcome him.

Tim is the sixth appointment to the development team in just six months, joining (chronologically) me, Nick, Andy, Ian and Glan, and he will be leading development of some of the major new projects we’re beginning this summer.

We’ve also just confirmed the arrival of Jon as Senior Designer later this month, who I’ll post about when he joins, and continue to look for the very best PHP and front-end developers around. If you think you’ve got what it takes and would like to join the team, take a look at our jobs page and get in touch.

Hitting new heights at WhiteLabelDating.com

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Here at WLD we like to pride ourselves at having a pretty special bunch of people working for us, and here is the proof:

Not only has our Technical Operations Manager, Ian Winter, been working exceptionally hard getting our new email delivery system up and running but he has also found the time to throw himself out of a plane at 12,500 feet!

Ian completed the skydive at Weston on the Green on Saturday 28th June to raise money for Diabetes UK. Ian is diabetic himself, so decided it was a very appropriate charity to support.

Here is what Ian had to say about the experience:

“The whole day was awesome and i would definitely do it again. I’m really pleased that I raised so much money for the charity and want to thank everyone who’s donated for their generosity.”

A massive congratulations for his achievement. Well done Ian!

WhiteLabelDating.com hosts sites to support ChildSponsors.org

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

We are very pleased to welcome Mike Hills on board, a new partner to WhiteLabelDating.com.

Mike already owns an existing online business, Guide4.  He was searching for a way to expand, and came across WLD.  Once realising that WLD could offer everything he needed, he worked closely with his account manager, quickly setting up a personal portfolio of 6 sites.  His sites include Guide4Dating.co.uk, Guide4Dating.info, and Guide4Personals.com.  He also has one regional site, DyfedDating.co.uk.

Mike also owns ChildSponsors.org, a website that aids individuals in sponsoring children that may be suffering due to hunger, war or abuse.

The revenue created by Mike’s 6 dating sites will be used to pay all administration fees for ChildSponsor.org, as well as providing ay extra donations when it can.  We think this is a fantastic idea, and are very pleased to be hosting the dating sites for Mike.
