CityVibe was once a much better site and for me, seems to be as bad as the bait and switchers on the other sites. As for higher quality, that is in the woman, not the ad. I've seen providers that post on BP that most would call a higher caliber, but that's just my opinion.  It's just a place to advertise and doesn't seem to be much more. BP and CL got a bad name because the people that advertise there are the guttersnipes of the world. Then, LE got on to ads and starting busting providers and their handlers that failed to screen. As for threatening, I don't think either site is threatening on it own, I think what is threatening is what you might find when you chase bargains and pictures that are mostly always a work of fiction.

I've noticed that CV seems to be very highly concentrated with what seems to be more quality providers, as opposed to BP (which is also more expensive, by the way) and other sites. I have an ad there as well. I don't really hear many people talk about it on the boards and when I search reviews it seems that I come across an equal number of bp ads, but just from the sheer numbers of providers  its obvious that CV is more "hobby friendly" my question is why? I know for me as a provider it was definitely the price. But I was just wondering why CV does not seem as threatening as other sites? Just curious.

I use both CV, BP, Eros, and many other advertising boards.  I really cannot say that I don't get as many "stupid" approaches from Eros as I do any other place that I use.  Speaking for me, I've found that it really depends on your geographical location what board works best, if your looking for business travelers, and if you tour or not.  

I have gotten just as many quality clients from BP and CV as I have from any other advertising source.  In my opinion, the majority of gentleman who approach me from BP or CV just don't know of all the other hobby boards out there or they don't want to be a member of any board or site.  They just want to meet a nice lady and go on with their life with no connections/memberships to spring up on them later and cause potential trouble.

I got a free listing from BP once, and to be honest I got so many emails to the effect of "Are you avaiable in 30mins?" and "How much for 1/2hr greek?"  and "I am in Naperville, how soon can you be out here?"  Without thought of screening.  When screening is asked for they clam up or just have no idea why you would want their name.  I even had one guy accuse me of being a cop for asking that info because only a cop would want it.  LOL.  I am sure there are a couple good guys there on that site but alot of time they want now and have no idea about screening.

Cityvibe, they are a joke.  I keep trying to get the free BS shit off their site but they keep putting it back up and linking my reviews to their site.  Funny thing if you goto their site and search for me I do not come up, so it is a dead end ad they add to get more traffic off from reputable providers reviews.  I wish they would ban me, but they just keep putting me up and back engineering the reviews to link to them, dirtbags!

Eros is full of 2a callers wanting you to call them back in the next 30mins.  I advertised there for just a couple months because it was irritating at best.

I personally like RS, you get a verification service as well as listing for less then any of the other services for just a listing.  Way better deal.  

Use TER and The other BoarD for weekly ads.  Join Escortblogs.net and post actively there as alot of locals read there.   Make sure you have a website, something easy to remember and easy to use on a handheld(no flash, it doesn't show on handhelds).

Just my thoughts and my experiences, Sage

I totally agree with Sage on most of her points. CV uses ads of providers that do not even know that they have them up. They work much like scam artists and would stay away from them as much as possible. Besides, I do not like their new look now. More difficult to find what you want. Eros seems to have more high end or maybe a better word for it, higher priced escorts and most traveling providers seem to advertise there. RS2K seems to do the best job with everything. Ads look good, consistent and updated and the verification service that they provide for both the escort and the hobbiest is invaluable. BP is the new CL and already, they are having problems because they are removing photos from the ads in some of their sections but I like BP better than CV, it's easier to find things. Like always, you need to be careful. Check out the escorts on TER to see if they are legit and what they are like.
