What this page is. Realised numbers from the Vrume network, not list prices. The headline dataset is one 90-day window of European dating email traffic in 2026: 34,070 clicks, 2,226 conversions, 6.53% conversion rate, $8.71 average cost per conversion. The dataset is one advertiser’s SOI/DOI/CPL dating campaigns run across these GEOs on Vrume inventory, with conversions reported back by that advertiser’s postbacks. Treat it as a documented shape, not a network-wide average; a different offer on the same zones will land above or below these numbers. Minimum bids by GEO are on the pricing page; this page is about what the clicks actually did.

Implied CPC is cost per conversion multiplied by conversion rate, so it is the average price actually paid per click in that GEO over the window, not the floor. Norway's $1.76 realised CPC against a $1.29 floor shows the auction clearing above minimum; Czech Republic's $0.41 shows an under-bid GEO.

How to read these numbers

Conversion rate is driven by offer match more than by GEO. The same Norwegian inventory produced 15.66% on a mature-dating SOI offer and 52.74% on a premium email lane with a tightly matched offer (case study). The GEO sets the price; the offer sets the rate.

eCPA is what to benchmark against your payout. A $5.03 German eCPA against a typical €4–€8 DOI payout is a working campaign; the same eCPA against a $2 SOI payout is not. Bring the payout to the first conversation and the account manager will tell you which GEO lanes clear below it.

Mobile and desktop diverge. Norway mobile outperformed desktop in the window; Sweden ran 116% ROI on desktop specifically (case study). Split them in the tracker from day one.

What a $500 test buys

At the window average ($0.57 realised CPC, 6.53% CVR): roughly 880 clicks and 57 conversions, an $8.71 eCPA. At Czech Republic prices: roughly 1,200 clicks and 120 conversions. At Norway mobile prices: roughly 285 clicks and 45 conversions at $11.22 each, which is still profitable against Norwegian payouts. The point of the first $500 is to find which of these your offer is, then scale the one that clears.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good conversion rate for dating email traffic?

On the Vrume network, 6.5% is the blended 90-day average across European GEOs on SOI/DOI/CPL dating offers. Well-matched single-GEO lanes run 13–16% (Germany, Sweden, Norway) and the best documented lane hit 52.74% (Norway premium email). Below 4% usually means an offer or lander mismatch, not a traffic problem.

What does a dating conversion cost?

Between $2.67 (US niche dating) and $11.22 (Norway mobile) in published Vrume data, with $8.71 as the 90-day European average. Cost per conversion tracks GEO payout: expensive GEOs have expensive conversions and higher payouts.

What is the real CPC for dating traffic, not the floor?

Realised CPC in the 90-day window ranged from $0.41 (Czech Republic) to $1.76 (Norway mobile), with $0.57 as the blended average. Floors on the pricing page are lower because they are the price that opens the auction, not the price that wins it.

How often are these benchmarks updated?

Quarterly, or when a new 90-day dataset changes the picture. The date at the top of the page is the last refresh.

Where do the numbers come from?

Vrume network statistics for one advertiser’s dating campaigns over a 90-day window, plus that advertiser’s S2S postbacks. Conversions are counted only where the advertiser's tracker fired a postback to Vrume, so unreported conversions make the real rates higher, not lower.
