How long before all European singles will be meeting thanks to Meetic?
Meetic, the European specialist site for online dating, is a frontrunner in the new social phenomenon of meeting people online. According to the latest data revealed by Nielsen NetRatings for the countries of Western Europe, Meetic is breaking all the quantative and qualitative records to date. Taking all countries into account, the evaluation institute reports more than 340 million pages visited on the meetic sites alone, thatÂs 3 times more than the closest competitor site (ilove) in terms of the sheer quantity of pages visited.
meetic is also the site that attracts the greatest number of visitors in the world of dating with 1,681,000 UV in Europe. ThatÂs 30% more than our closest competitor.
Finally, on average, meetic users chat for longer periods and stay connected for 54 minutes compared to 34 minutes for our closest competitor.
ÂAll the indicators measured by Nielsen prove beyond any doubt that meetic is indeed the leader of dating websites in Europe contrary to what you may be led to believe by one of our competitors who, in a recent communication on the subject of the Nielsen findings, added together its own visitor figures and those of all its partners to compare them to the results achieved by meetic alone, excluding our 60 partners! In any case, and despite the fact that Meetic is visited by 420,000 more UV than this competitor, the notion of UV is not the sole criterion by which to evaluate the performance of a dating website. From a quality point of view the visit length is also highly significant and, on average, the duration of a visit to meetic is 13 times longer than visits to match.com explains Marc Simoncini, CEO and founder of meetic.
