It’s official, as of July 21, 2010, Yahoo Personals (Yahoo’s online dating site) is part of the Match.com community, and is branded as “Match.com on Yahoo!.”

Before the transition to the Match.com system, Yahoo Personals users were given the option to make a seamless switch to Match.com or discontinue their membership.

Users who chose to make the switch were able to easily transfer their profile and other information to the Match.com system. Those users now experience the Match.com system as any other Match.com member does.

How This Helps You Meet More Women

The most important thing about the partnership between Match.com and Yahoo Personals for you is that it means there are more women on Match.com.

There’s no need to worry about the additional guys that are now on Match.com due to the switch. As I’ve discussed before, the male competition on dating sites is a joke!

If you have been on the fence about plunking down your hundred bucks for a six-month subscription to Match.com, the partnership with Yahoo Personals is one more reason to do so now.

I have no affiliate relationship with Match.com, but I know that you want to meet more women on dating sites, and one way to do that is by standing in front of the ever increasing parade of women on Match.com.

Match.com is currently running a promotion where you buy six months and then get six months free if you don’t find somebody in the first six months. In other words, you’ll get a 12-month membership for the price of a six-month membership. (You’ll have to email at least five women each month and keep your profile visible the whole time to qualify for the free six months.)

This means it would cost you just over $8 a month for a year-long membership to Match.com. That’s a bargain considering how many attractive single women Match.com has wrangled up in one place for you.

Match.com has already put in the work to get the women there, now all you have to do is email them.

The Other Site That Helps You Meet More Women

I still recommend using Match.com in conjunction with the free dating site, Plenty of Fish.

You’ll likely find that you get slightly better results on one website than the other, but being a member of both sites increases the number of women you can meet.
