So I have seen signs all over my town for the last 2-3 years with this site.. Searching Lincoln Singles for Lincoln Dating . After you enter your info it just prefills out a form for an affiliate dating offer.

They have moved up from lawn corner signs, to direct mail, and now they are doing full blown radio ads. These things are plastared all over the city. I assume they are making atleast decent money off it with little to no work.

Anyone else seeing anything similiar in their home town?

I was thinking about hiring some grunts to throw some signs around an untouched town and see what it pulls in.
 


Hm, site doesn't seem to want to load for me right now. Whoever owns lincolndating.com must be loving all the free traffic.

What happens if you spam a town with signs in public areas? Can they get past your domain privacy to take legal action? Or will they just take the signs down? I wonder...
 
Well, Will linked to lincolndating.org. If there's some URL people need to remember such as radio ads, signs, etc then a lot of people will enter lincolndating.com instead of lincolndating.org when they get to their browser. Thats how the traffic is free???????????????????????
 
I see those things everywhere in the town I work, where I live and it seems most surrounding neighborhoods. Mostly at expressway exit ramps but at some intersections too if there's any grassy areas. I've seen them around for years.

oh I missed the .org and .com, I'll shut up now.
 
Yep. I used to see those little side-of-the-road signs in the small ass town of Keller, TX.

Yeah, the cost is so low. I mean you could do it yourself just as a test. If you get any response at all you can easily pay some college or highschool kids to throw them all over for cheap.

Some more info I found

Lincolndating.org

Who runs it: This actually isn’t an online dating site. It’s a survey run by a company that The Right One, a national dating service, pays to generate lists of singles for them, said Terry Fitzpatrick, spokesman for The Right One, which has an office near 56th and O streets.

The lowdown: Have you seen those bright yellow signs along Lincoln roadways that ask, “Single?” This is that company.

I entered my name on Lincolndating.org and got a call back almost immediately from a telemarketer. The caller asked me all the dating basics and more, including what I’m looking for in a relationship, when my last serious relationship was, and why it ended. (Fifteen months ago, and that’s none of your business.)

By the end of the call, she wanted to set up an appointment for me to talk with someone at Lincoln’s The Right One office “with no obligation” about my dating options.

Cost: The Right One’s dating services, complete with a matchmaker, are top dollar. Starting prices are about $2,000, Fitzpatrick said.

In a nutshell: This company has been around about 30 years, so it’s obviously for singles who are serious about finding a mate and have the money.
 
they spam their signs in every city ive seen in california, always in front of supermarkets etc.. ive noticed they always use the .org extension. nice research though.. i always though they were just redirecting their customers
 
They do it all over St. Louis... and as far as I would guess, it's illegal. Not sure how they get away with it.

Woman Caught Placing Dating Signs Illegally



Apparently this company has been under investigation by the local authorities. The police cited the lady they hired to put up the signs. The article doesn't say what happened to the company.

It is illegal in most places but it's also probably a slap on the wrist if caught which wouldn't happen to quickly if you only had a web address posted since most local law enforcement agencies still don't have a clue when it comes to the internet.
