Hello Florida People - I've been on tour and not on the boards as much lately but have a general question that crosses all regions. It's been years since TER divided the Provider Ad boards from the regional boards but I remember when all posts for one region fell in together and it made for a much easier advertising campaign.
With that said I'm now trying to figure out where to spend my advertising dollars and where the guys are going to shop for entertainment? I'm also curious to hear from the girls what they've found to be more resourceful than others and how much time it takes them weekly to market themselves? I work well over 40 hours a week marketing, color correcting new photos, doing SEO work and more. I chalk up the 40 hour work week to having to hustle across many advertising and community forum sites as it's become more difficult to get in front of a large audience and to make ad impressions in large numbers.
I use Eros but have found that I sometimes pay for an ad that results in little to no movement with regard to inquiries and traffic. It's a catch 22; During season my eros ad is busy and during off season it barely makes a sound. I'm wondering if Feature Ad and Top Placement Ads on verification sites are effective? When I do a search for escorts in any city I live near or travel to BP always fills up the first page of search results. I've not used BP but it seems like more and more people are using it and trying to sort through the good, the bad and the ugly. Have any highly ranked providers used it before?
So again - Guys where are you going to find your girls? And girls where are you finding your advertising dollars are working best for you?
Cheers!!

I really rely on TER -- I read the boards, look at the ads, and see which ladies peak my interest due to the intelligence and charm reflected in their posts.
I also like following them on Twitter and other social media; I don't use Eros or ad sites like that much anymore.
I don't live in Florida, but do most of my hobbying there these days. I will glance at Eros from time to time but rely on TER for the most part.
Do you rely on theme day threads, discussion board posts or do you go to the provider ad boards? If you use the ad boards how many pages do you scroll through, how many ads do you click on and on what day or days do you check the ads?
Is there anything that would be helpful when perusing the Florida board ads? Since we're state wide and not a concentrated community like Chicago, DC, New York etc. it would probably help you guys if we started mentioning what area of Florida we're in. I was thinking of asking TER if we could use one of the Florida theme day threads to add the area we're from or touring in that week BUT at the same time I don't want to get people riled up over theme day threads again/anymore. ; ) HOWEVER, if I were dreaming of what that thread would look like I'd think it might look like... "Let's see those legs ladies and let us know where you are this week" ...again, that's just if I were dreaming. ; )
I usually just look at the Florida Board and Florida Ad Board, but will look on the other boards (especially if someone is visiting from another area and peaks my interest).
I look to see what their postings are about -- do they drive the conversation, how do they contribute to it, do they seem smart (I love double entendres, innuendooes and the like).
I check out their reviews (and look to see if guys I know and trust have seen them)
First of all and I don't want to open up a can of worms here, I'm on clear as to why they stopped the same days but they were very enjoyable for years I don't understand what the stink was about but I did tune in enough to realize that's a fight over them ranged half a page in comments... Suffice to say seen days will be sorely missed. Back to matters at hand I personally would get to know local well-established providers by reviewing the Friends of the Florida Board understanding that three-quarters of them have to do with either Miami or Orlando and then sift through to find the girls in the comments about Tampa. Then I look at the regional and bored which as you so well put is Florida State wide and it's a big state so I browse through the posts and only look at the ones that say Tampa because I can't be bothered to look at the last hundred posts in my limited time to see what area a provider serves and I never, and I mean NEVER even look at a post by an agency I've learned over the years to only go independent. So let's say there was a new cute fun provider in Tampa unless she puts that in her thread I'm never going to know until I hear about it by reading maybe a different thread because I can't check every thread... So I think all the girls are smart who put in their post the town that they're concerning even if they're on tour I've seen the smart ones do this... Anyway Laney that's my two cents have a great day sweetheart.

We'll have to see what we can do about getting our cities included in our theme day threads. I think it needs to come from the guys who are pretty much the financial supporters of the site.... I think! Don't flame me if I'm wrong. ; )
The best tool for me is searching reviews. It gives me to opportunity to be city specific as well as a lot of other criteria. Since my time in FL is limited I limit myself to ladies I can find good reviews for. Occasionally I will look at the ad boards, and yes, listing the city is always a help. Good luck in your efforts. It seems you are putting a lot of thought in to this and working hard to do what is most effective for you.
I travel often for work, and have had this issue from the hobbyist side. I've not found any one site that is used throughout the country. Here, TER is pretty well used, but I recently spent a few weeks in Texas, and TER was hardly used at all.
BP is not even reliable, on the west coast few providers post on it, preferring red book.
I end up having at least a basic account on any site I find about, and if I am going to a new area, I try to watch them to see which ones see the most activity. I've been pretty lucky and figuring it out with just a couple of hours of observation.
Sorry, probably not too helpful. Best of luck!
for who might available in what city. Sometimes a south Florida lady is traveling to Tampa or Orlando where I can sometimes get to. I generally avoid visiting ladies from other states because I prefer to keep my money in Florida and to possibly bond with a lady I might have a chance of repeating rather than some lady who only visits Florida once or twice during her career.
Ads catch my eye but reading reviews clinches the decision on who to try and see.
Sometimes a lady catches my eye on theme days or posts on the Florida board and perks my interest with her comments. I have seen ladies through each of these scenarios.
I will admit to trolling on BP but I have not attempted to see any lady I have discovered there. For the most part, the reviews are non-existent or not high enough in either category.
Lastly, many businesses track where their customers found them. How many providers ask "How did you find me" during the verification process?
Laney, if Eros allows monthly ads, why not just post your ad during the season and pull it during the hot summer?
For me, the Top placement ads never correlated to more business, but for places like NYC, I bet it does considering the 300+ providers a guy has to look through. When I used to tour, I only used P411, TER, and Eros, and many times just TER. For Cleveland, that was all I had to use if I recall. Chicago is RS2K dominated, but still has a huge TER following. We can't mention or post links to other review sites, so you'll have to google for more info. on that.
we can look anywhere, which I do, but I come back here to read reviews.

I agree, reviews and the guys who write them help to determine my choices.
