Zhenai.com Becomes World's Largest Matchmaking Website with Membership
Exceeding 20 Million

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Zhenai.com, China's largest
matchmaking website, announced that the number of its registered members
reached 20,022,000 on July 31, 2009. With an average of 40,000 new members
each day, the website has, for the first time, exceeded the membership
registered on Match.com in the United States (with a membership of 15,000,000
and a daily increment of 60,000 by May of 2009, according to Match.com's
website), thus becoming the world's largest matchmaking website by number of
registered members.
Jiayuan, a Chinese dating website that closely trails Zhenai.com in the
number of registered members, announced on its official website that its total
registered members bypassed 17,580,000 on July 31, 2009, with 20,000 new
members registering each day. iResearch Consulting predicted that the number
of Chinese online daters will reach 140,000,000 by 2010. Presently these two
websites account for nearly one third of the total registered members in
mainland China.
Does the enormous increase in registered members coincide with revenue
growth? "At this stage, the growth potential of Chinese online daters remains
huge. We expect the number of our registered members to reach 30 million by
the end of the first quarter of 2010. Zhenai.com now generates higher monthly
revenue than the combined monthly revenues of our three closest competitors in
China, thanks to our unique service model of combining online search with
telephone-based matchmaking," said Dr. Song Li, the founder of Zhenai.com and
a Morgan Stanley banker-turned serial Internet entrepreneur.
A report released by iResearch Consulting shows that Chinese online daters
would account for 44.7% of all registered members online by 2010, creating a
market of up to RMB 1.2 billion.
