Sorry,
But for me the quality of the Provider's AD has very little creditibility when deciding who to see, it really is all about the reviews and if she is the type I'm looking for.
Getting back to your examples however, when I do see well constructed websites and ads, I immediately figure the price point will be higher.
Just like the examples you used, 2 really nice websites = $900/hr Providers Regular Eros Ad = $350/hr
I'm going to give you two different ads.
I would love to know how you feel about each ad.
Does one feel more honest than the other? Why?
Which one you would you answer? And why?
And, what is the moral to this?

Of the providers in question, I've seen Dodda, and her ad was the reason that I contacted her in the first place. Like so many guys, if I see TER reviews that are appealing, then I check the ads.
Dodda has a full-blown website, which tells me that she's serious about her work. It's not Eros ads convey a negative connotation, but rather, my point is that a full website conveys a positive message.
In my opinion, Dodda's ad is an extension of her (stage) personality. The Eros ad doesn't covey any sense of what a session would be like. So it would be unfair to call one ad more "honest", because I don't get a sense of being mislead by any of there ads.
So what's your point?
You right...
It's just amazing how people will put ads up that a person with a good eye or a good street sense will just stay away. There is a feeling that you get when you look at some of these sites just to stay away and other's you feel that it's safe. It just amazes me how they still do it and "we" as hobbiest still fall for it. We read so many threads of people asking if legit or not. Then there are ads that are that get you wondering.
Here's one that make's me wonder... Hot, "wow" factor, no reviews, Kinda an amateur photo (which I like and think is a plus but even with an eye scared to dive in): http://www.eros-chicago.com/files/85343.htm
And here's one that makes me feel safe: http://www.eros-chicago.com/files/255530.htm
This is a NO: http://www.eros-chicago.com/files/252991.htm
Just want to know what you guys think and maybe see and post your favorite link/ads that makes you A) RUN B) MAKES YOU WONDER C) RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS A....NO or D) "Hell ya! I'm going for it" to you.
Sorry for the rant... Just an observation.

Snake,
I'm not sure what you were getting at with the three example ads you listed.
All three seem to be for well reviewed providers.
Dodda and Cassandra are very well known on these boards.
While Nikki doesn't seem to be very active on TER, after a quick search (just go to Search Reviews, put in Nikki LaRue and use the All Cities field), you'll see she has a few excellent reviews from very well established reviewers.
Now since Dodda and Cassandra each charge a substantial amount per hour, and Nikki is considerably less per hour, is the correct answer Nikki?
Actually if money was no issue, I'd love to have Any of them, Hell I'd Really Love all Three at once.....but I digress.

Guess the point or survey is... What is your red flag when you look at an ad? All reviews out of the equation, when you look at an ad what is it that tells you to move on its a fake (which your guts just tells you) or I'm going to further research this ad cause I believe its legit.
Meaning you hear of so many rip offs or bait and switch that when you look at the ad that they are talking about, you see it and you wonder why they even answered that ad to begin with (cause there are so many red flag starting with the photo) cause you can see fake all over it.
A red flag to me is when you see a 10+ advertising for $300 or other things that don't make sense... My example: http://www.eros-chicago.com/files/207060.htm Those look like "C's" ???
I hope this makes a little more sense now...
Sorry about rant but I would like to hear what you look for when it come to legitimacy.

I am making these comments based on making the assumption that I've never heard of any of these girls:
Nikki, doesn't have anything related to rate and no website at all for me to find out more. Also, pics seem too professional, if that makes sense. Makes me feel they might be lifted. Perhaps these things are less important to someone who isn't new like myself, but to me, those aren't red flags so much as they are "I'm not ready to take that risk". There is a phone number, which is nice though. Without making it to the "research phase" I would guess it's like 10% legit. If she were my type, I would at least do a TER search against the number.
Dodda nails it on all accounts to me. Her pics are professional, but they don't look like they were lifted off of a website. The look personal. There is also a ton of info and rate. Plus, and this is big to me, she has a UNIQUE website that doesn't appear to be a template that I see on a bunch of other girl's sites. Before going into research, I would probably guess she is in the 80% or higher legit-range. Research would confirm this.
I don't know if that tells you what you're looking for or not, but I'm new so I'm still in the area of very skeptical when I see an ad.
Only the first link is an ad, the other two are web sites. Everything on Eros is suspect so you would do well to tineye every picture in the ad. I've seen ads where only one pic was stolen and the rest had no tineye hits. Posting a stolen pic, even just one, is a good reason to be suspicious.
As for those two web sites, they are clearly high quality. Rip-off artists don't spend a ton of money on fancy web sites so that's a pretty clear sign. OTOH, most providers don't spend a ton of money of fancy web sites either so you can't determine legitimacy simply from the quality of a web site. Again, tineye the pics to get a better sense.
I'm more likely to check out the reviews before I get any ideas. I also like to see who writes the reviews. The ad or website may be persuasive and enticing, or be inexpensive, cheap looking or even suspicious, but research like tineye, reviews or trusted word of mouth will be the deciding factor.
Word of mouth from long-term friends is one of the best tools we have.
