一位叫markus007的资深会员在站长世界论坛发了一个帖子，题目是：我是怎样在3个月之内赚了一百万。
　　因为站长世界不允许帖出任何网站的地址，在会员资料当中，markus007也没有写上自己的网站。所以，虽然这个帖子掀起了很热烈的讨论，很多人却不知道他指的是哪一个网站。通过一些调查，我发现他叫Markus Frind，他的网站是Plenty Of Fish，这是一个提供免费交友服务的网站。现在有上百万个的会员，每天的页面浏览量Pageview是一千四百万到一千五百万。

　　浏览一下他的网站，你可以发现，网站的设计其实很简单，甚至在很多人眼里可能有些过时。但重要的是，他的网站吸引了大量的访客。而他所提供的服务是完全免费的。网站收入的唯一来源是通过Google Adsense卖广告。他的囗号是百份百免费，收埋你的信用卡-(100% free , put away your credit card )-杀食！
吸引全球男女，一味维持人气！

　　他自己讲，他在最近的3个月里的广告收入达到了一百万美金。换算一下，也就是每天要在一万美金以上。这对一个提供免费服务的网站来说，是相当难得的。

　　在后续的跟帖当中，他也提到他的网站运行在四架服务器上，只有他一个人管理所有的事项。相比之下，其他和他有差不多数量会员的交友网站没有一个能像他这样低成本运行。那些交友网站大部分都是收费的，没有一个能用少于100架服务器来运行。

　　

One of the most popular posts on this blog has been How I made a million in three months.

In a now-famous posting on WebmasterWorld, a guy usernamed Markus007 outlines what he believes to be the secrets to his wildly successful web site, which went from $40 a month to a million in three months.

We now know that Markus007 is Markus Frind, and the site is PlentyofFish.com, a free dating website.

Andrew Johnson at WebPublishingBlog has two terrific posts about Markus and PlentyofFish.com, including an interview that is a must read. Here’s my favorite conclusion from the first post:

As humans one of our biggest weaknesses is becoming obsessed with what is not important. We spend 90% of our time on that little 5% — and that is why so many of us fail. PlentyofFish is an example of what happens when someone understands that its not the fancy design that brings in visitors, its something else. He understands that search engine traffic is important, but its even more important to have visitors that come back to your site again and again. [Emphasis added by me]

In the interview, Andrew asks him what he believes to be the key to his success:

Function over form to build an emotional connection with the user. Blend ads into content, No flashing crap, make the site useful. Basically all those things that everyone knows you are supposed to do, but very few people actually do. There is no magic bullet, but you should always test new designs or new text etc to get the result that you want. You will never have the worst design and never the best, but through testing you can always improve.

Beautiful.

You should read both posts, then take a look at the site. It is very simple, and very automated. One person handles millions of posts per day.
