In 1998, Pliner Solutions was contracted to implement Metrodate.com, an Internet dating site designed to provide a low-cost, easy-to-use and highly effective service to assist single adults in making compatible connections within their cities.
Since it first went live, Metrodate.com has become a strong international dating presence, with over a half-million members worldwide. Pliner Solutions has an ongoing development role, as Metrodate.com gains new features and more members every day.
Our Role
Metrodate.com's primary purpose is to match compatible singles with each other so that they can find each other easily. With over a half-million members, each with their own personal preferences and requirements, this involves a lot of data processing, and it all needs to happen quickly.
Pliner Solutions developed and implemented intelligent data storage and comprehensive algorithms for Metrodate.com, utilizing Oracle and ASP.Net, to create a fast, robust multi-user web site, serving an average of over a hundred members at any given moment, 365 days a year.
Members can send messages to each other, chat with each other in real-time, add voice messages and photos of themselves to their profiles using HTTP upload through a web browser. Recently, Pliner Solutions added streaming video content capabilities to Metrodate.com using Windows Media Server, to enable members to upload video profiles.
Metrodate.com offers different levels of paid and unpaid memberships; paid memberships are purchased online using e-commerce capabilities implemented by Pliner Solutions. Credit card charges are verified or declined, and within moments, members can gain instant access to all of Metrodate.com's features.
Pliner Solutions also assists Metrodate.com with its Internet marketing needs. Metrodate.com also features a comprehensive affiliate system to entice webmasters to advertise and drive traffic to the site; affiliate campaigns can be tracked to determine the effectiveness of each campaign. Advertising is also built in to Metrodate.com, to drive traffic to other sites and generate revenue. Other Internet marketing services we provide for Metrodate.com include search engine optimization, bid-per-click marketing, monthly newsletters, and the Assisted Response System (ARS) for processing customer e-mail.
