Is that enough...

My site has been down for months.. I am still debating on putting it back up. This as it has always been is only part time for me. I hate to turn away business and for the most part my friends are consistant....

When searching for your next ATF and you find a potential one,
she has been around longer then a month or two and has good reviews is a site necessary when all you have to do is GOOGLE HER..??? ( I love this term)

I always ask where you found me when I see a new friend and more often then not, I am told
it was a suggestion from a buddy to call me or see such and such ad/website...

How do you find your ladies
Are websites or lack there of a deal breaker???

But Reviews and reputation are deal breakers.  If they are not good its not gonna happen no matter how hot she is.

If there are no ads, here, p411, BP  etc.  I wont know she is there unless I see a new review posted but I need a place to see her pics (website, ad..)

I dont think I have found a gal directly through her website (more common for agencies i think), its always been an ad or TER directing me there.

I cannot speak for others, but for me it would not be a deal breaker not to have a website. I guess it lends an air of credibility, but if one has a few reviews, posts from time to time here, I think most guys could get a "feel" for what they are getting into  (oops..interesting choice of words there )

I am a VERY part time participant in this hobby, and in my case I am not trying to sample all the flavors at the ice cream store. Once I find one (or two) that I like, I am going to keep coming back. I suspect some guys are in a different category, but that is just me. I have to say that, as one who enjoys the friendship, comfort and knowledge of a woman who I have seen more than once...having a website is not an essential. I do think that most guys, myself included, are going to want to see a few pictures (that's just how we are !)....so if there is another way to post them or email them, then the rest of it is not essential.

Then of course, there is always the question of the cost of companionship, which is pretty easy to determine from most websites, and a question most any guy is going to ask. It is a good deal easier to read it on a webpage or an ad, than to have to ask it, so if one can figure out discreet ways to get that point acros$, then that is a plus.

Just my two cents....

and by the way...you know I dont need to see your website..

Simply a lack of a website is not a deal breaker for me. However, if someone posts on Eros (or similar), has no or limited reviews on TER, and has no site, then I would not see her. The risk is simply too great. A well-reviewed provider should have no trouble with no website if she maintains a presence on TER.

But it definitely helps. Websites add a bit and usually let me know a bit more about the person before I make my decision. When I started out, since I did not have VIP status, a website was make or break. I needed it to feel more comfortable about my selections. Websites are sometimes the only thing one can rely upon for viable information if nothing else is out there. The ads could be outdated or non-existent and going into a scenario like that without a website's help would be too dicey for me.

I do like variety even though I'm part time (and likely soon to be out entirely) so I need all the information I get. I'm never going to see a woman on BP who is advertising with a phone number and nothing else even if there are some reviews out there. The reviews are most paramount followed by reputation and the website fills in some necessary questions.

so yeah... that's DEFINITELY a deal breaker.

A website is nice as I believe it conveys availability and openness for new business.  Activity on TER with both posting and reviews also help a lot and could substitute for a website.  I was never one to discuss the hobby with friends and I was never active enough to develop friends within the hobby.  When I develop the urge - I typically see who is active on the TER boards and is advertising (mostly Eros) - but if a website is available for more information, I definitely go there.

Are always welcome, especially now a great deal of them include videos, ( new phase). However for established friends they are not needed.

I love to use ter for a rule of thumb and if she has no site I will still see her. Just me , I like to look at her site and it helps me feel better and to see the rate more clearer and you want have to ask question. the other thing most girls love to put up pic and you can judge for your.

Thanks for the info. My site has been down for months. As I stated in my post..
I am not sure why it is a threat or was a threat.. many of the ladies used the same site to build thier own websites. it was a simple template..
