e-Dater OnLine Dating

At Black Singles Connection, your skin color takes top priority. The site runs slick under the careful clicks of a mouse button and getting through the introductory questions and creating a profile is painless. The site has changed a lot since we last reviewed it – for the better. Here’s what we found this time around…

There’s more to this site than meets the eye. Black Singles Connection has been around for years but the company is now operating on a new domain – BlackSingles.com. It’s shorter and easier to remember and if you login or signup with Black Singles Connection, you’ll eventually get pushed to BlackSingles.com, so there’s no need to worry about missing out on any of the action.

After reviewing a number of the other ebony dating sites in the category, I was pleased to see that this site had an Alexa score that warranted some attention. For those who don’t know, Alexa is a measure of a sites’ popularity, although it’s anything but accurate. However, it’s what we have to work with and I think it succeeds in telling us that BlackSinglesConnection.com is one of the more popular sites for black personals. (Please note: we’re taking tour reading from BlackSingles.com as BlackSinglesConnection.com begins to take a back seat.)

The popularity it has gained is well deserved in that the site allows visitors the ability to check out most of what is offered without having to dish out money. The biggest point winners after popularity are in the areas of last login stats and localized searching. Black Singles Connection lands perfect marks in both.

“…the company is now operating on a new domain – BlackSingles.com.”

Busy sites like to show how busy they are. They do this by displaying when members last logged in. Black Singles Connection shows this at the top right of each member’s profile. Keep this in mind when you first start running searches and you’ll soon get an idea of how many people are online in your area every day, week and month.

The other big plus deals with the ability to conduct searches for people in your area. The closer the search radius, the easier it is to connect with those nearby. On this site, you can narrow the ebony profiles you see right down to those within a ten mile radius. That really helps those who aren’t in a position to travel far for romance.

The one major flaw is that you can’t receive mail until you’ve paid for a membership. Does this sound reasonable? It might, however, a lot of other sites let members contact non-members for free. Although it may not make or break your decision, it’s an issue that you should be aware of.

I give equal weighting to pictures and profiles on dating sites. What you write says so much about the type of person you are. Black Singles Connection allows you to view profiles from top to bottom from the moment you login as a free guest so you should have no problems reading between the lines with what each of the other members here are trying to say.

BlackSinglesConnection.com gives you more than just the ability to connect through email. You can instant message people and take part in discussions on the chat board once you’ve joined. There’s also an interesting personality test that divides people up into colors based on answers to a series of questions. You can view your search results in as a photo gallery without all the additional profile information and send virtual cards to other ebony singles on the site. These are all solid offerings from a dating site that seems to know what it takes to put together a solid portal for singles.

The current monthly membership fee for the site is $24.99 a month. That’s at the higher end of what the average dating site charges, but with so much to do on the site, and the way they’ve allowed new members to really feel at home without having to pay, makes it worth it in the end.

Black Singles Connection may serve a targeted niche, but it is quickly gaining in popularity. This site will put you in touch with the black singles community and you can make magic happen from there!
