FRIEND FINDER PROFILE QUALITY REVIEW
Friend Finder offers some nice features to make your dating profile better. Beside of standard profile you can stand out from the crowd by adding FREE video introductions to your profile using your webcam. Profiles with video introductions get more than 10 times as many responses as those without. Actually other dating sites often charge for video introduction but here you can do it absolutely free.
Also you can add voice introduction to your profile. Your voice introduction will be posted on your profile page for members to hear. It is free too.
And sure you can upload a photo or multiple photos to your profile, letting members see who you are! You can create galleries too if you wish.
Reports on the internet seem to indicate Friend Finder has approval process for new profiles.
SCAM PROBLEM ON FRIEND FINDER
Friend Finder does not have scammers or fake profiles whose goal is to steal you money or force to send them. Here is official recognition of online dating scam according to my philosophy. Friend Finder is free of such things because scammers don’t use websites where they are asking to pay for any activity.
As for hidden payments which often are considering by users as scam there are some things to notice before you decided to join Friend Finder. First (and probably the most important one) is that Friend Finder doesn’t allow free members to read their incoming mail for first 50 days since registration”. Very strange rule but I have found few proofs of this rule when was reading Friend Finder user reviews on the web.
Another Friend Finder trick you should know before joining them is that you as a free member can only create your profile and read Friend Finder Magazine. All other options including other members profile browsing are available only for paid members.
FRIEND FINDER MEMBERSHIP PLANS REVIEW
Friend Finder has 3 membership plans: free membership, silver membership and gold membership.
Friend Finder Free Membership Review
As a free member of Friend Finder you can do the following actions:
• Create a Profile (video clip and voice introduction included)
• Add a photo (create galleries)
• Searching
• Keeping a Hot List (your favorite members)
• Read Friend Finder Magazine and Forum
Actually as a free member you have very limited chance to make friends or dating anyone on this site. Reasons are simple: 1) you can’t read mail and you can’t answer to it 2) You profile will show up in search results after Gold and Silver members.
Friend Finder Silver Membership Review
As a silver membership owner you can use all free options and:
• View and Contact members
• Show up after Gold members in searches
• Contact new members
• Access members' recorded video intros
• Partial access to blogs, groups, and magazine features
• Friendly 24/7 Phone Support
Friend Finder Silver membership cost:
3 months – $47.13 ($15.71/month)
1 month – $27.07
Important! Immediately after payment go to preferences go to your Billing History and Credit Card info page to stop renewal. Because renewal rates are incredible:
3 months - Renew at $47.13/month !!!!
1 month - Renew at $27.07/month
Silver membership is good for those members who are active and usually try to contact others and search for friends instead of waiting to be found by someone. However, silver membership rates are not so attractive as Gold Membership.
Friend Finder Gold Membership Review
Friend Finder together with Gold membership giving away special offer for its members : 1 MONTH FREE with a 3 month Gold membership! But there are some rules you should know about this special offer to be eligible for it.
Friend Finder special offer rules: To be eligible, you must log in at least once, send three emails, and make at least one blog or group post each month during your initial membership.
As a gold member of Friend Finder you can do the following:
• Show up at the very TOP in searches
• Be the FIRST to contact new members
• Get FULL access to members' recorded video intros
• FULL access to blogs, groups, and magazine features
• Access to extra large photos
• Access to ICQ, AIM, YIM & MSN ID's of members in your network
Friend Finder Gold membership cost:
3 months – $70.73 ($17.68/month) (+ 1 month for free if special offer requirements meet)
1 month – $41.23
Important! Immediately after payment go to preferences go to your Billing History and Credit Card info page to stop renewal. Because renewal rates are incredible:
3 months - Renew at $70.73/month
1 month - Renew at $41.23/month
Gold membership is the most effective one without doubts. If you want to buy membership at Friend Finder I recommend you to buy 3 month Gold membership and cancel renewal immediately after payment to avoid $70 re-bill after membership expiration.

FRIEND FINDER REVIEW SUMMARY
Friend Finder is good mix of dating and social network. The Friend Finder probably offers the most to its members in terms of the number of features available to use. As a member of Friend Finder you will get everything you need to be successful in your efforts. But unfortunately you have absolutely no choice than to buy one of two paid membership packages to become really active member of Friend Finder.
FRIEN FINDER REVIEW SUMMARY
The membership price from the first sight may sound like very expensive ($40 per month for Gold membership). But if you will choose 3+1 Gold membership offer than you will get your membership for just $17 per month! This price is really good for such entertaining website as Friend Finder.
