The latest Comscore study shows some intersting statistical results regarding the usage and popularity of online dating sites

PlentyofFish and SinglesNet lead the pack in the number of visits. eHarmony and Match.com, interestingly enough, are lagging behind, but these services are not free, while Plentyoffish.com is. A large number of visits doesn't necessarily mean better quality. After all, if you are going to meet someone, sometimes it's better to spend some money and enjoy a more specific approach to meeting people.

Anyway, it's interesting to see that paid dating services are still in the game. There is some meaning there, so if you are embarking on a search for your soul mate, consider a small budget for paid services, apart from hanging out at free dating spots.
