If PoF is a launchpad to premium dating sites, how do people end up on PoF in the first place? I assumed SEO, and I searched for "dating" and "online dating" but PoF didn't rank high. Maybe they go after more niche keywords.

Google search for "free dating" put PoF at #2

PoF is mostly word of mouth, it was the only 'good' free dating site for awhile and they're still banking off that.
