Online Dating has become more and more mainstream with events such as speed-dating and others. One of the biggest and best online dating services is Match.com. It has immediate credibility as a legit online dating site with Dr. Phil as a spokesperson for Match.com.

Why Is Match.com #1 site for Love?
Last year on Match.com, more than 400,000 people found someone to keep them warm at night. That’s four large football stadium’s filled with couples who’ve been walloped by love.

Match.com also offers free trials for you to browse around and see who are really on Match.com (and not the models in the ads). With over 15 million members, the odds are definitely in your favor. Ofcourse the amount of interactivity you have with a trial membership is limited (you can only browse and send “winks” at people) but once you are a subscriber, you have full access to all of Match.com’s helpful tools and more information about people on the site.

Their pricing plans are flexible where they offer 3, 6 or 1 year membership and unlike other dating sites out there, they have a great sense of humor with their information such as *Prices do not include miscellaneous expenses usually associated with Match.com dates, such as flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals that shake and sing love songs, the occasional diamond ring, etc..

Some common questions people have are:

Q: I like meeting people face to face. Why should I look for love online?
Just like most people discover in relationships, no two people are exactly the same. Some of our members choose online dating in lieu of bars and other options, some do it in addition to their usual routine, and some people do it just because they want to try it out. But for the price of a couple drinks, you could subscribe for a month and look for lots of people right in your neighborhood. Also, before contacting someone, you can get to know a little bit about them by looking at their Portrait. So if you want to skip the hassle of the bar scene and look for love whenever you want, click here to create your Portrait for free.

Q: Does online dating really work?
Don’t ask us, ask the more than 400,000 people who met that special someone last year on Match.com. And you know how all those happy endings got started? Click here to create a Portrait.

Q: Is online dating safe?
Online dating is no more or less safe than any other kind of dating. We have Online Dating Safety Tips that you should read before going on a date. Most tips are just common sense, and should be used in any dating situation. The most important ones are to meet in a safe, public place, and make sure you’re not feeling pressured.

Q: What are the odds of meeting someone I’m interested in on Match.com?
Sorry, but neither dating nor love has a formula or statistical equation you can use. However, over 200,000 people met that special someone on Match.com last year. But at the same time, it’s not a roulette wheel. You have to get out there, make yourself seen, and give it some effort. So, put the protractor down, fill out your Portrait by clicking here, and let the probability distribution functions work themselves out. Match.com - 15% off- Love is Waiting

Bob Buskirk is running a contest giving away a free 1GIG Mushkin Flash Drive! I’m a sucker for free stuff and I’ve yet to win anything ever from a contest (although i did one time win a free Baja Fresh Lunch) but this is completely different!

AND on top of that, if you post a picture of the contest on your monitor you get an extra entry. So here’s my screenshot (note my MyBlogLog avatar to prove i was there!).

Wish me luck!

So there’s this website I’ve been visiting for awhile (since last year). So when I came across his blog with a picture of a giant lobster (along with the fact that I’ve been watching Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel) I figured it was time I did that review about his site that I’ve been procrastinating on.

In fact, I can tell you when I first came to his site - JohnChow.com. It was about the Biggest Google Whores back in September of 2006. It’s a list of people who are making alot of money online with Google Adsense. Ofcourse there are probably many others that are successful but not on that list but it still gives you a glimpse of the possibilities out there.

So that’s how I got hooked on his site and I’ve seen it grown to where it is today is pretty amazing. His blog now is about how to make money online and it’s not a rehash of information. It’s attracted quite a large following to the point where he’s been in magazines and ranks up there imho as one of the top bloggers. So he has this link exchange thing where if you review his site, he’ll add a link back here. Hopefully this will bring us some new visitors and new members to our community.

Anyways, it’s just one of the many sites I browse everyday for inspiration and alot of good information that I wanted to pass on to you. Enjoy and let me know if you like it also!

Thanks to Mr. Happy at HappyAsianGuy.com for adding a link to MFT on his site. I figured that since he was the first one to do a linkback here, I’d write a short review for him as a thanks. Mr.Happy has a pretty new site but has a really interesting way of writing that makes it entertaining in his quest to eat less and lose weight. It’s actually funny to a point where I can relate to his struggles to start his diet but can’t start just yet. (been trying to lose a few pounds since the cruise i went on) Since the site is so new, it’s just started to talk about his Nutrisystem Diet plan which means I started reading just in time. (who likes to get involved in a story in the middle?). He decided between multiple diet plans such as Medifast, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers and more and has done his research and looks like the Nutrisystem Diet program is what he’s going to start off with.

I also like to read blogs that have lots of pictures and he does take pictures of the food he eats. I’m hoping he’ll take pictures of the Nutrisystem food so I can see how it really looks like. The character he uses in the graphic on his site is awesome. I should ask him where he got it done or if he did it himself.

Good luck to Mr. Happy and his quest to lose weight. He definately needs to get a fish tank. (why that has anything to do with him losing weight..i have no idea. but everyone should get a fish tank anyways).

If you have a website/blog, make sure to take part in my link exchange program. All I ask is a quick post on MFT with the linked text Freshwater Aquarium Fish. An example would be:

“I found this site that has alot of information about Freshwater Aquarium Fish if you are interested in keeping fish. The site also has a great community forum where members are very helpful and take the time to help you out.”
