I have wondered why a seperate board does not exist for ads for each region.

There really couldn't be just one place for all nationwide ads. So then there would have to be a separate ad board right along each regional board.
Too much effort...for what return?

As of now there are 16 posts above your ad.
Out of those 16 posts....10 of those are ads.
So, for all intents and purposes...regional boards have turned into mostly ad boards.

As far as agencies posting, they don't cause any disruption to anyone else posting. There are 25 topic slots on a board. If one topic has 100 responses, there are still 24 more topics.
It's the number of topics that matter....not the number of responses....so an agency posting for each girl under the same topic is not unfair to anyone.

This actually makes the job of moderators more involved than one might think. Because there are only those 25 spots on the front page, the mod has to minimize and manage the posts that are inane, pointless, ISO, attempted mini reviews, shills, trouble making, or any other type of "wasted space". If you think what you see on the boards may be bad....you can't imagine what's in the trash bin....and could have taken up front page space.

The last, and possibly most important point, is that FL ladies need to understand that they have it much MUCH better on this board than on ANY other board on this entire site.
With an ad a week, daily theme days(5), and usually a weekend theme day.......that is SEVEN ADS A WEEK!
NO other board provides (no pun intended) this kind of opportunity.
Opportunity is, as always, what you make of it.
Ladies can choose to have fresh pics, participate in theme days, and put up an ad per week.
They can also choose not to.
Who do you think will have a higher rate of success?

As with any other business....you get back what you put into it...and a board just for ads is far from the right way to go. Only my opinion, of course.

Just sayin'

I would love to see TER add a section just for ads.  I placed my ad this morning and it's almost to the bottom of the page.  The agencies place multi line ads and all the daily stuff just makes our weekly ads disappear to the 2nd and 3rd pages way too fast.  As a paid member, I would be very appreciative of this change. Just one girl's opinion.

S

I have never understood why an agency can start a thread and then post unlimited posts under it to promote each lady. Just seems wrong.

I just looked again and almost all the posts after yours are ads too. Not sure of the solution.

I completely agree...It's not fair...I would be willing to pay for it!!..There should be a section of just ads..That we can post on everyday to keep them updated...It is completely unfair that you may only post 1 ad per week...By the 3rd day i am already 5 pages back and who goes back that far to look?....If not an ad section maybe a status section where we can update and post our availability if we like.....I am completely behind you on this and will do anything i can to help!! Please help us Moderator!!!!

I have no earthly idea WTF I was thinking....trying to interject a little intelligent food for thought.
Silly me!!

Yes ladies....you're ALL right!
Why....yet another board for ads is JUST the ticket.
Goodness gracious, that'll solve everything....how ridiculous of me not to see that.


Sometimes P4P is exactly like the real world..........can't tell 'em shit. Sheesh......

No pun intended.  I didn't even claim that my business is off, because it's not.  I would like to see my once a week ad not go to the 2nd page in one day flat. Moderators do work hard, so do us girls. Writing clever tag lines, laboring over photos and let's not mention the other stuff.

We may have it better than some other boards, but improvement is always a good option.

Just saying.

....agency ads w/multiple pix don't take up anymore "Space" on page 1 than a single indie ad, there are 25 threads/page regardless how many posts under each thread, so they aren't knocking other ads off.

The other point, Theme Days Pix is an opportunity to market a provider everyday, so you can appear on the Florida board w/a pic & your TER link to reviews 8/week (including your ad) if you know how to work it Babes!

BTW, you'd be surprise by just starting a discussion thread or participating in discussions how your personalities can shine & attract the boys as well, just not the pix & you don't have to spend more than 15 min. on the board by doing this. Yes, we know everybody has a life beyond these boards, even me believe it or not.

Honestly though, if there was Regional ad boards as well, there would be no Regional Discussion board like this, ladies would have no reason to come here, just tumble weeds...it would be like backpage or cityvibe, ads & no discussion what so ever.

Just saying too….

let's try to get everyone  thumbing through more than one page...This is a board for a large state so it only takes a few ladies ads to fill a page.

As far as the Agency ads, I feel they have their place here just like independant ladies do. Just think if each of those ladies put  an ad on by themselves. That would fill close to a page and you would be moving to the back of the pack all that much quicker.

So how many gentlemen do go back a few pages each day to see if there is anything they might have missed?

LOL....it's just jokes, Sugar

Anyone who knows me, knows this is FAR from "wound up tight" for me.
It's just a message board, after all.

… It Happens To Me When I Travel To Different Cities

i would love that too..
with everydy with a different tata monday..and tuesday butt day..yes your ads will be on page 5 ..before the the end of the day!!!and we only are allow to post once a week!!!!

Love the art . . . . .

I think most guys on here have a daily check of what is new.  If not daily I bet they at least scroll down far enogh to see what they missed since the last time they logged on.  If we want to see multiple adds of the same person we can go to other sites that are just adds.  There more reasons for this board than just adds.

TER was conceived to be a "Discussion Forum" where providers are allowed to post weekly ads.

It is a bit frustrating when one's ad slips over to the next page, but there's always a bright side.

When I have put in alot of effort into my ad, I post a link on my website, so that those who want more info can access it easily there.

I have found that the participation on the boards garners more business than posting weekly. Especially if one is "based" somewhere consistently, the guys know it, and if one is on their "to do" list, you'll definitely get a call/pm/email/etc.

On the other hand, one way to "slow down" the topic posting would be to take away the weekly ad and make it every ten days/two weeks for local ladies.

As gj pointed out, out of 16 posts, 10 are ads...

I just don't think it's really something to cry about.

Get involved on the board and reap the rewards ... be thankful for what advertising you are allowed in a "Discussion Forum"
