How do I write a good online review of a dating website?
The best dating site reviews are typically helpful to the reader and describe the personal experience that you have had with the website or dating service.We recommend that you ask yourself, “Would I find this review genuine and helpful?” Presenting both the good and the bad gives the impression of a balanced review that tends to carry more weight with readers. Making suggestions to improve certain aspects of the service is helpful and often respected by site owners.
These online reviews can be a review of the services or options being offered by a particular dating website, but it can also review the content of the site (for example the quality and response of the profiles offered), contact options for connecting with other members, quality of the customer service, etc, Looking at the “star rating” options on our website can give you an idea of what readers may be interested in hearing about. In the end, you can review anything about that website that made an impression on you.
Your review should be unique. Readers want to hear YOUR story and YOUR experiences with the dating service that you are reviewing.
Can I complain or write about a bad experience in my review?
Yes, of course. Both positive and negative experiences are helpful to other consumers so long as your reviews are honest, objective, unique and provide as many of the relevant details as possible. Your opinions are generally protected, but be aware, posting blatantly false or defamatory information can have serious legal consequences.
What should I avoid in my reviews?
You should refrain from profanity (it is not necessary) and attacks such as hate speech, bigotry, and lewdness. You should not copy other reviews. Some website categories may be more adult (hookup) oriented which we have chosen to include since more sexually open-minded consumers are entitled to access to customer or member reviews as well. However, your reviews SHOULD NOT include sexually explicit statements or content. It will be edited and/or rejected (deleted) altogether.
Keep in mind that any review that you write about any website or service should not be considered offensive or unsuitable in any way to any reader of any age, race or orientation.
