Introduction
If you've ever placed a matrimonial or personal ad in a newspaper or magazine, you know how frustrating the process can be. First you must make sure that your ad does not exceed the number of words allowed by the publisher (if it does you may be charged extra for each additional word). Then you must wait for weeks or months before your ad actually gets printed. It will be another few weeks or months before the publisher forwards any responses received for your ad. By the time you receive the responses and correspond, your ad will have expired and if you weren't able to find the right person from those responses, you'll have to start all over again. What a waste of time.
But it doesn't have to be this way anymore. Welcome to the "World Wide Web" and Internet Matrimonials. If you can read this page, you can place an ad and begin receiving responses in 24 hours. No more waiting for your responses to be forwarded, no more restrictions on the number of words or lines in you ad, and best of all no more headaches of having to place the ad over and over again. Internet Matrimonials provides all this and much more to bring you a fast and friendly matrimonial service. This quick overview will tell you all you need to know to get started and use the service immediately.
Viewing Ads
You don't need a membership or even an ad on Internet Matrimonials to be able to view the ads on this system. Any casual Net surfer can stop by and view the ads on Internet Matrimonials. When you select the "View Ads" option from the main menu you'll find there are basically 3 ways to access the ads. You can either browse, search or jump directly to an ad. The browse feature is useful if you want to quickly find recently placed ads matching your preferences and don't want to deal with a detailed search form. With the browse feature you only need to indicate whether you are looking for ads of men or women, and some broad preferences such as religion, culture, etc. The search feature is very useful when you have several specific requirements and want to find only the ads which match them. For example if you are looking for "never married, male engineers, between the age of 25 to 30 who are at least 5'10", living in US or Canada and having your preferred culture and religion", you could find them using the search feature. When you use the browse or search feature, you are shown the headlines of the ads matching your preferences with the most recently placed ads at the top of the list. Clicking on a particular headline will take you to the corresponding ad. But if you happen to already know the ad code of a particular ad, you could enter it directly on the "View Ads" page and jump right to the ad. This is particularly useful if you received a response from someone else who also has an ad on Internet Matrimonials. Or you may have seen the ad code advertised in another matrimonial listing, telling you to look here for more information.Types of Ads
You will find that there are two types of ads on Internet Matrimonials; Pre Paid ads and Pay Per View ads. The main difference is that Pay Per View ads cost very little to place, but the readers of these ads are charged to see the contact information. Pre Paid ads cost more, but the readers are not charged to see the contact information.
Both types of ads give you the benefit of FREE renewal, no restriction on the number of words in your ad, the ability to see how many times the ad has been viewed, and the option of getting a confidential message box to receive your responses. More information about the types of ads is available.
Access Codes
When you come across a Pay Per View ad, you will not be shown the contact information. If you find the ad interesting and wish to see the contact information, you will need to enter a valid access code. Access codes are obtained by filling out an online form, indicating how much credit you want applied to the access code and making the proper payment. Each time the access code is used, one unit of credit is subtracted from it. You can always add more credit to an existing access code by placing another online request and making the proper payment. At any time you can check how much credit is remaining on your access code by choosing the "Check Access Code" option from the main menu and entering your access code.
