Hi Patrick,

Matt doesn’t seem to agree with your assertions here. His success with Mingle2 is proof that it is possible to rank for competitive terms in a short period of time.

You probably need far more links than you have so far. It took Matt 80 thousand natural links to rank for “online dating”. ;-)

Cheers,
Hamlet
