On Monday 14th July, the CEO and Founder Markus Frind opened up his 26th
floor office in downtown Vancouver. Plentyoffish.com has hired its first six
employees, the first six of a planned thirty person team that is being
assembled to help roll out new advertising programs.

Users don't pay for memberships but Plentyoffish.com makes over 
US$10 million a year from advertising from Google Adsense and numerous CPA
programs. The site is run on Microsoft ASP.net and is highly optimized to
provide behaviorally based matchmaking to its users. "We introduce singles to
other singles based on their actual search behavior on the site," stated
CEO/Founder Markus Frind. "Singles generally don't really know what they want
but their behaviors are a key indicator of their true underlying desires."

Analyst and dating industry consultant Mark Brooks commented,
"Plentyoffish.com has grown to this #1 spot because quite simply, it works."
