As you can imagine, the staff here at MDO is constantly working on improvements to our website that will make it easier for our members to find a match. I wanted to take a moment to go over our Tags function, and show you how it can help you find people with similar interests.
On our home page, down on the left, you’ll see the tags listed. Looks like the screen shot at the right.
These words are taken from all the profiles in our database, and then sorted by frequency. The top ‘tags’ are then displayed in that little box. The more often a particular tag shows up in profiles, the bigger it gets on the page. So, for example, ‘reading’ is currently the most popular tag on our site, so it’s the biggest.
Clicking on the tags will reveal to you all the people who have listed this as one of their interests.
The obvious question then becomes - How can I make sure I have the right ‘tags’ listed for myself, so others can find me?
Good question, I’m glad you asked.
Once you’re logged in, click on the ‘My Account’ button in the upper right corner of the page. Then, on that screen, click ‘Edit My Profile’. You’ll get to your profile page. Once here, look right near the top for this box:
Now simply add your interests, each one separated by a comma. Think about all the things that you’d like to have in common with someone, and put it in. We recommend one or two words max, so you’ve got to whittle it down to as few words as possible. Include brand names (like ‘Harley’ or ‘Harleys’) and slang words that only interest-sharing people would understand (like ‘rice grinders’ or ‘foodies’).
Make sure you save your changes, and they’ll automatically be added to our database.
Follow these few steps to get more and more hits on your profile, as well as find others who share your interests.
