BRILLIANT concept and it WILL work.
Now you need a "landing page" that explains the concept, has some stories.
Plus pics of Polish/Romanian and Caribbean beauties.
And lose the pics of the bearded alpha males, replace with young groomed clean-shaven Brits.
Five girls, one guy.
You could advertise on UK expat sites as well as "lad magazine" type sites. Website name is enough for the ad, nothing else. Capitalize the words in the domain name, so people can read it. (It functions the same).
If no ad budget, or they won't sell you a tiny banner ad, then you could put fliers on phone poles (outside bars and fitness centers, or anywhere on public property with foot traffic - near the "tube" too) with a staple gun, with the tear-off thingies at the bottom of the flier. All day, every day, with a staple gun, going back to old phone poles every month or so. (Wear a hoodie if you have to!! ) Polish neighborhoods, Caribbean neighborhoods, university neighborhoods.... Half sheet of paper is enough, you don't have to say much, just the words in the domain name in big bold letters.
Good luck!
I think it will work too. Well, I certainly think it should work. I did a google search using the four keywords that make up the name : foreign women uk dating, and another search with just foreign women dating, and another with just foreign women. There was not even 1 site doing what I'm trying to do. Everything that came up was international dating sites, or articles, or whatever. So either what I'm trying to do is unique because no one has had the idea yet, or it's unique because too many people think it's a load of old rubbish. I'll have to wait and see which it is.
What do you mean when you say landing page? You mean the front page of the site? I do have the option of adding text (in which I could explain the concept - that is something which I definitely have wanted to do) at the bottom of the front page, but all I've put on there so far is "Dating for UK based men and UK based foreign women". Do you think it's a good idea to expand on that, right there on that page, or should I have another front page explaining the idea, which then leads to the index page?
As for the pictures, I should ask the company that runs the site to change them.
I'm not sure why you say advertise on UK expat sites. My site is for UK men, ie men in the UK looking for foreign women in the UK. I suppose I could advertise on sites that are frequented by foreign women in their own country who intend to come to the UK.
Do you think the name of the site is self explanatory? I really think it is. When I was thinking of a name, I wanted it to be as short as possible, while still explaining the concept clearly. So, the only words that came to mind were : foreign women, and uk, and certainly dating. I don't think any other words are necessary. My next step was to put them in the perfect order, and so I wrote them out in all 24 combinations, and rounded it down to what I now have, which I think is perfect. And today I asked a friend (without first telling him why) to tell me what kind of site
www.foreignwomenukdating.com sounded like. And he said it sounds like a site for dating foreign women in the UK. I don't think there's any confusion at all. But what do you think?
Also, the big picture of the man and the woman, I'd like to change that. How do I do that? I don't know any type of programming. There is a page (on the website of the company that runs it) where there's some code, and I've tried to find something that looks like a url for a picture, but I haven't seen it. And what do you think is a good replacement for that picture? I'm thinking a british flag next to or surrounded by a bunch of little flags from lots of other countries.
