Plenty of Fish has a recent feature called WILL RESPOND...........how do they know which users are most likely to resond and how do those users get put on that list?
POF uses metrics counters/recorders-they flag emails for key word & content, the have internal email counters to keep track of how many emails people send per day (I think the limit is 30) they limit the number of exact cut n paste emails a user can send (blocked after 3), they record how long it takes you to click to the next profile, time you logg on to the time you log off, how fast you respond, time of day you respond, etc.
IVESTIGATION BEGAN- first I took a look at my matches, next, I looked at will respond matches, then I looked at NO EMAILS matches. Compared them for similarities.
THE RESULTS-the users who are selected for WILL RESPOND are mostly;
1) ONLINE NOW status.......and I agree with this since I revealed the best time to contact someone is WHILE THEY ARE ONLINE, ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO.
2) IN YOUR AGE GROUP-very similar to your matches.
3) PROXIMATY-distance from you.
4) PREFERENCES-similarities, things in common like (must have picture, not looking fo intimate encounter, where you reside, height, race,kids, etc)
4) THEIR HISTORY-emails they received vs emails they responded to. If they have responded before, they are more likely to initiate a response.
5) NUMBER OF EMAILS RECEIVED-stands to reason that if a chic got a1000 emails she wont be able to respond to everyone as opposed to someone who got a few emails where they may have time to respond to all emails.
6) PERSONALITY-certain types are more serious than others and feel obligated to respond.
Now thats how POF claims which users will respond...........IN REALITY it comes down to a few other things
-timing: when u email them
-WHAT YOUR SUBJECT LINE SAYS
-HOW ENTICING YOUR EMAIL IS
-YOUR PICTURE
-YOUR PROFILE
