How to make your online profile more attractive in searches.

The way the searches work

If you have joined an online Christian dating site such as ChristiansUK.com you will know that one of the most important ways anyone will find your profile will be through the regular searches. There are, of course, other ways such as by contributing to the forum or chatting in the chat-room but the majority or suitable single Christians will be initially using the searches to make contacts.

Ways to stand out

There a number of ways that can make your profile stand out from the crowd, even at the stage when your profile turns up in the initial search results.

Complete your profile

First of all the search results record how much of your essay questions are complete. We record as complete anything written which is longer than 250 characters. Text that is longer than this is shown as complete in your profile edit page and also gains a green box in the search results. Search results are weighted towards those that have the most complete profile. So If you want to appear above those that haven’t bothered to fill theirs in you should fully complete your online profile essays.

Log in as regularly as possible

Secondly, by logging in regularly you will gain advantage over those that log in less often. This seems basic but it’s as simple as checking the site every few days that will send your profile higher for everyone else. There may not be anyone you liked last time you looked but there could be today!

Upload a decent photo

Thirdly, make sure you put a bright, attractive photo on your profile. People make the mistake of thinking that people should not be interested in looks and therefore refuse to put a photo of themselves on. This is flawed thinking as it simply makes those that look think that you couldn’t be bothered to put one on and they will simply move on to the next person. The photo you choose should be one that looks like you spent some time choosing it. This shouldn’t be one of you taken by a murky web-cam late one night! The sharper the picture is and the brighter it is the more likely you will stand out on the page and someone will click on to see the rest of your profile.
