Free Dating Sites Review – Badoo.com

Till not I have visited plenty of free as well as paid dating site but none of it seems to give me the user experience I wanted. Badoo.com appear to be the very much the site we are looking, but how much that the time will only tell. So rather wasting time lets go and explore daboo.com.

Look and Feel
Look and feel of the site is very exciting. Colors used on the site is while, grey, blue and orange. Effort has been made to make this site a simple looking however, I can see the efforts put in the feel of the site. Right from basic photo uploading to searching crafted neatly and can say that it is an eye candy.

Registration Process
Registration is a feature of this site. You can login by you facebook account or who do not have facebook account (which is rare) can process with fresh registration. Person who has facebook account will need not to sit and fill the registration form and upload photos. This website will pick from facebook. For new registration need to fill all details like about yourself, interest and personal info. Once registered with site user gets a activation email with password which can be changed by user.

Login and Customizing Profiles
The user can login by email address and password with new registration however user logged in by facebook account can login by that email address and password. As far as customizing the profile is concerned user can change the notification setting, change password, email address and privacy has been a feature of this site where you can create a rule on this site that who can contact you. User can create rule like who can see you profile, who can contact you, can you name be shown to 3rd party website or not, can other find you by email address even the photos are secured for tag and comments.

Photo Profile Section
User can add up to 100 photos and videos on this site and make them in different album. Uploading can be done from computer, from websites internal camera (which take long time to get activated), other site like orkut, facebook, photobucket, myspace and Hyves or user can send and email to website administration to upload photo.
If great that you do not need to upload photos again and again to this site you can user which you have done earlier on your orkut or facebook.

Browse and Search Feature
Browsing through website is quick and there are very few (only 5) menus are at the top nicely categorized and easily accessible.
Search is again categorized in to 2 – basic and advance. User can search any profile from the world registered with this site by changing the search location on searching page.
Advance search of this site is not like other site; with this site you can set 3 criteria or I should say priority for search from different attribute filled by users. However it seems to be tangled a bit and most of the time does not show any results.
I noticed a very interesting yet strange that if I click on the search profile it does not show me detail of the profile but show only the name and If I have to see a photo I need to take his or her permission.
Even this extent of privacy is not need to spoil the user experience.

Messaging
Messaging feature of this site is good yet not complete as chat, adding favorite, blocking, report abuse is there but sending email was missing when that person is off line. Sending gifts is not free and you need to pay for credit points that cost you from $10 to $40.

Other features
In other feature website has the feature of blog. Apart from this website do not have any other feature that grabs the attention and need to think on this if they want to get more user interaction from user. Baboo is operational in 180 countries with 25 different languages.

Member Base
Member base other site is more that 104 million (they claim) from all over the world. Most of the users are there from different age group from 20’s to 50’s. As this site is free looks like they are not there for serious dating and just for fun.

Longevity
Well this is a tricky one to answer for this site as daters seems to be there for fun and not serious dating I would say before reaching to any strong conclusion we should take a deep look and experience of the site.

Ranking Statistics
Baboo has started working in 2006 and since then it never looked back and gaining in number. Stats show that website got more that one million unique visitors in 2010 and which is a rise of 5.73 % rise from 2009 but there is 4% drop in existing users. Website holds the Google rank of 544.

Conclusion
The eye catching look and feel of this site is what comes across as very appealing with minimum use of color. The Badoo registration happens to be the best so far in this series of reviews of all dating sites. Primarily because of this reason that the site has garnered such a big following.
Customization has been given much thought and the site offers good user and privacy features.
Photo uploading and creation of the album are exceptionally well done and a pleasure to use. Searching for profiles is unfussy.
Messaging is free but yet seems to be incomplete as some of the mail features are missing.
If you want to send gifts you need to buy credit points that will cost you anywhere in the region of $10 to $40.
Member base of the site is huge and spans the globe as confirmed by the Google ranking of 544.

This site is a must for all you young people out there.
