I think you're on the right track for the kind of clients you want to attract. It's unfortunate but inevitable that people looking for more traditional escorts will approach you after not having bothered to read beyond your rates and gawk at your photos. (Which by the way are spectacular.)
As for the guys that try to initiate contact with sensitive inquiries: those aren't the droids you're looking for, move along. They're obviously not going to mesh with you on the level you would prefer. You appear to seeking a more attentive and discreet clientele, and I applaud you for not succumbing to the use of superfluous adjectives in your self description. You come across as pretty down to earth and approachable. A drawback of that is going to be being approached a lot. I hope you decide to endure the occasional misguided monger rather than alter your persona again to exclusify (that's a real word, right?) yourself. I find what I have read about you as you've presented it very, very attractive.
One thing worries me a little though, and that's your honesty in the paragraph where you explain why you don't do one hour meetings. Honesty is fantastic, but a little too much may get you some unwanted attention from the authorities. A cautious euphemism for the word sex may be in order. Happy Fun-time? Shenanigans? I'm being facetious with those, of course, but perhaps "passion". (Shenanigans is just a favorite word ever since watching Super Troopers) It may seem like semantics, but why give an adversary any ammunition to use against you?
My other problem is that you are on the other side of the country. A bubble bath with you sounds like heaven. 
Good Morning All,
I'm back to the newbie board because I have changed my "persona" up and made a new website. So I have a few questions.
1. I'm worried that I am not being clear enough in my website. I feel like I repeatedly ask for inquiries either through my booking form, or through my direct email (but with the same information). It is much easier for me to get a complete inquiry, rather than "hey gurl I see ur a sub. I'm a fit dom, have references do you do golden showers?". I have had only about a handful successful bookings with the proper initial contact, but the rest of my inquiries look similar to the former. For every one person who reads my site, there are 3 that disregard it. I'm wondering if my etiquette page isn't clear on what I expect in a first email? Or is my booking page too vague? I thought that perhaps if I priced myself the way that I did (for the sf bay area), it would keep that type of stuff at bay, but it doesn't.
2. I put a lot of effort into creating a "persona" that felt more natural to me. When I first made my site, I felt peer pressured to throw in a bunch of fluffy "i'm so elite, VIP, blah", and realized it wasn't me. So I took a few days and tried really hard to craft something that I felt reflected who I am (I'm into nature, politics, magic, and language), in hopes that it would attract the type of clients I am looking for. I'm not sure if it does that. I know most TER men don't buy into the whole "legitimate companionship thing", and I'm cool with that, but for the types of dates I'm looking for, I want to know if my site caters effectively to that demographic.
3. Sometimes I feel that my site has a lot of clutter; how can I do some spring cleaning?
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and feedback (keeping in mind the audience, even if you personally aren't interested in me) would be greatly appreciated.

If you're on P411, why do you still require a screening form? That would be a deal-breaker for me.
You're leaving the sugar world for the hobby world AND you're going the S&M route. You're going to meet some dangerous people (even with screening) & I hope you're ready for that. Good luck & be careful. --z
guys don't want to read thru a lot of stuff, they just want the basic facts. If a girl's site is to wordy, I probably will not read it and move on, but that's me. And CR, you should have someone proofread it before posting a lot of typos.
Swim
I'm trying to attract the clients that do. I put this disclaimer in my opening post. I stated that even if I do not appeal to you, please evaluate my site through the lens of the clients I am trying to attract.
I went through for spelling, but that did not cover grammatical errors. I will do another proofreading.
Should through be "throw"?
Language will through me into a rhapsody.
Thank you for your input. Yes, I will edit for typos.
No, I have no interest in S&M. I am a submissive in a 24/7with my SO2, and I am not a painslut (apart from ageplay which comes with things like hairbrush spanking, mild nipple clamp play, etc).
I won't engage in S&M, so only those looking for a more sensual, psychological, and sexual domination would be compatible with me.
Yes, but I chose my "verbose" nature to give a really really clear picture of who I am. I could probably take out a paragraph or two, but wouldn't I lose some things? I'm a wordy person who loves words, you know?
Again, thank you, I will be careful. I've already had to let some people who "seemed like fun" go, because they just rubbed me the wrong way. I think it helps that I don't really allow bondage activities until after I know a gent.
If you're on P411, why do you still require a screening form? That would be a deal-breaker for me.

When I think of "depravity", I think of...well, I'm going to keep that to myself (I will say that I watch a lot of Japanese porn...). But S&M, I consider separate from D/s. I was actually just talking about this on Fetlife, I think that S&M is what most of the old guard think of BDSM, but I think of more D/s, psychological stuff. A lot of subs aren't masochistic, I think.
I agree about the average p411 client. That is why I am not targeting them. I am targeting the types of clients that I believe Lauren, Anais, Ansley, etc seem to attract. So I completely agree with you. I think my site reflects courtesan level expectations, and I am trying to attract *those* people. I am asking if my website accurately caters to the market I want, not the one I don't.
Also, most of my awesome friends come from Eros, so it's my big place to advertise.
I totally get what you're saying. But I think my elegant website isn't a problem for the people I want to see. Grammatical errors and elementary typos, are. :/
I'm basically trying to advertise myself to gents who don't want the gray area that sugar dating is, but still want a high level companion. My SD's put a lot of emotional energy into me (not complaining about having awesome Daddies, mind you), and some want what I have to give, but without all the emotional stuff.
So yeah....for the fuck and suck client, my site is no beuno. But I need help for the clients I want. I had some really great guys (one client, when we returned to the room, had decorated it with candles and softly playing exotic music. everything was all decorated and sensual. We spent more time talking than anything, really), and I just want to attract more people like that.
A lot of my gents don't review, either. I seem to be getting into that "word of mouth" territory. NOT sure how I feel about that.... :/
I don't think I know Christian Grey,
But I removed "utmost", since depravity is subjective.
Ew, I hope NEVER to encounter a "dominant" (if that can even be considered the right term for him), like the one found in that book. I like my sessions SSC, not emotionally damaged and laced with judgmental morality.
I don't need a man to support me. That sounds like a horrible life.
And handsome only goes so far.
Seriously though. I hate BDSM literature by people who aren't in the scene. Just like I don't like vanilla people gawking and taking pictures of me every year at the Folsom street fair. "Yes, I'm wearing a collar...Yes this is my Daddy....No I he does not get turned by actual children...No I don't really think I am 5.."
*sigh* I want 50 Shades of misinformation to go away.
Websites in and of themselves are NEVER sufficient to give us enough information to want to just give out our information. That's why we prefer to email and contact first, to feel out the other side. How does she communicate? Can she write in complete sentences? Is she warm and responsive in her emails, or does she cut right to the chase? Women who expect that initial contact comes through the screening form are the ones that I put right into the "discard" folder.
This, more than anything, is a sales business. People who are "buying" want to know that the "sellers" are deserving of their business and that money is gonna be well-spent. Websites on their own are just insufficient at being able to give us that kind of assurance that we want to go ahead and start giving up our information.
In other words, you can continue to revamp the site, but that's not the answer. Expect that guys are gonna contact you and want to talk a little bit over email before they see you.
Every single good encounter I have had has been the result of good communication back and forth BEFORE I filled out a screening form or gave up my personal information for screening purposes.
It's not your site, per se. It's your expectation as to what a site will do. Learn to sell yourself. That's where you are falling short.
when I have time to play. I have limited availability so I'm not going to waste my time (or yours) giving you screening info if you can't see me at the time I have available.
Lastly, some guys don't trust booking forms and prefer to give you the information you need through a nicely worded email.
I say on my website that if one feels uncomfortable sending the information through the form, then feel free to send me the same information directly! This is what I mean, why is all this information getting lost?
Also, I provide my calendar for the entire month, so that you at least have an idea of when I am available.
Most people want some interaction before they decide to give out their contact info.
Expect to play along back and forth via email first.
Right. We can do that. But I'm not going to talk date details beyond the "get to know you" stuff. Sorry to be crass but, I'm not going to tell you can pee in my mouth or I'll rim you until I get that screening info. Not happening.
But you can say things like, "It's a domination session." Or, "I'm a submissive. I can go into more details, but please understand that I am not comfortable doing this until after you are screened. Hope you understand that."
It's all in the delivery. Like I said, it's about selling yourself. Someone good in sales can sell someone on a tougher idea or concept because he/she knows how to go about doing it.
Right, and this is why I provide my email for those who prefer direct contact. I am ok with people trying to get to know me, but for those who want to talk about their ideal power exchange scenarios without screening? No, I will not. Booking with me isn't a binding agreement, but because I am a submissive, I have to be so careful, so that I do not end up tied gagged and dead.
Getting to know me is fine. However, you already got to read so much about me, but I know nothing about you. Whether in booking form, or email form, I ask that a gentleman let me know a bit about himself first, before he launches into what he wants from me. But an email that says "hi rose I am a fit W/M dom, are you into golden showers?". That's not getting to know me. Thank you CS, but I think I got the "selling part" (eros helps me bring a lot of business, because I'm not marketable here, and I'm ok with that), I just want to sell myself to the people that I want to cater to. Not the ones who don't.
If a gentleman finds something on my site the like about me, and sends and email to the effect of "Oh, I see you enjoy xxx, I would enjoy getting to know more about you. Have you read xxx?". Then that's great. I had one gentleman ask me what my favorite Sci Fi authors were, and it was really arousing.
So, in summary, I'm ok with a little (not endless) back in forth action, but I'm not talking about power play until I screen.
Also, why do people have booking forms, if not to use?
This is all about selling yourself, and booking a provider based solely on a website is like buying a car simply you read the brochure and were floored by the pics and the verbiage. It doesn't happen that way.
I agree that screening should happen before any explicit questions are asked, but that's not what I am talking about here. I'm talking about a guy saying:
"I would like to find out more about you."
"What are your sessions like?"
"Do you have any reviews?"
Those aren't explicit questions. And you should expect to answer those questions before you actually get a screening form filled out.
If you got the selling part down, you wouldn't be here bitching about why your approach isn't working.
So if someone is asking for simple advice on a website they are bitching?
How is me asking if my website isn't clear enough, bitching?
I get clients. Just not the ones I want. So my advertising works, just in the wrong demographic, is all.
No one is attacking me here, except you. I asked a simple question about one aspect of my presentation. That isn't bitching.
We Both agree that explicit questions before screening isn't ok. And I am not arguing with the questions you are posing. That is why I have my email posted, for questions *just like that*. And obviously there is a clarification issue because that didn't translate to you from my website. THIS IS GOOD. This is why I came here to *ask advice*.
I have always graciously accepted what you have to say, and there is never a need for you to jump down my throat the way you just did. I regard you as my "marketing department" because you told me that's part of what you do for a living. I believe that, so when you suggest I make a change, I do. Rarely do I question it, because from what I have gathered, you are quite successful. I would use the term without the air quotes, but it seems unfair to just designate you like that without compensating you for your time and effort (which, for the type of help you have given so far, I am willing to do).
I don't feel hostile towards you, so please don't be rude to me.

And several times you have either suggested or explicitly stated that I gave you bad advice. And yet you didn't follow my advice at all.
If this were as simple as a "do these steps in this order," any girl with a vagina and a face could do this and make money. As you are finding out, it's not nearly that simple, and you have to be able to sell guys on why you are worth spending time with over any other girl out there.
You continue to come on here and are frustrated with one thing or another, and all I see is you being impetuous about the whole process. You think that if you just make X, Y and Z as changes, then the floodgates open up and business comes rushing in. That's not even close to accurate. Ask the established providers here how much bullshit they gotta wade through before they can find good clients. There are lots and lots of emails and tirekickers to go through, and even then it's not that easy. So why are you so impatient about results?
You are expecting guys to do as you expect. Put yourself in the guy's position. Ask yourself why a guy should pick you over anyone else out there. What do you offer that is so amazing and different than makes them want to see you?
Guys want to know that there dollars are spent well. We don't just pull the trigger and drop the coin to see a girl without some kinda research. That means we are gonna want to talk to you and get an understanding of who you are. Many girls will tell you that they might have to talk with clients ten times before they get a booking. Or that maybe out of 10 guys emailing, one will book. And that one booking will take a lot of time to get.
I don't do marketing for a living. You heard wrong. I do sales. Big difference. I figure out what my clients want, and figure out what to show them. If what I have isn't what they want, then my job is to explain why my product or service is a good one and a compelling one. I know what people are looking for, and I can sell. That's what puts money in the bank. I know that delivery is a big part of what a sale is about, and it's not just about the product itself.
You have something that's good, but you need to adjust your expectations as to what is realistic and what isn't in terms of responses.
You have no reviews whatsoever so far. So you are asking guys to take a chance on you. Build your clientele slowly and deliberately. Get those first critical reviews, so your product and service stands on its own. In the meantime, expect that you will need to put in a lot of elbow grease and exercise much patience before you get what you want. When women are making a multiple of what they could be making elsewhere in any other field, that's really not too much to ask.
You're not listening to me. You are determined to twist everything I say.
You're missing the entire point because you just want to bash me. Even if I compliment you, or show affection (which I did when I dubbed you my marketing department), you're just going to find a way to twist that. You need to take a step back and see that I'm not disagreeing with you. Read back what I said on the "initial contact". I said I didn't want a certain type of initial contact and you launch into how I should accept various inquiries, when that wasn't what I was saying.
Just stop trying to read everything in a "chinarose is trying to diss me" light, and see what I'm saying. No one here is freaking out on me like you.
But seriously, I'm going to go through all my posts on the newbie board, because I don't believe I "keep coming back and complaining".
http://www.theeroticreview.com/discussion_boards/viewmsg.asp?BoardID=33&SortBy=DateCreated%20desc&SearchType=1&Author=chinarose&DayFrom=300&DayTo=0&MessageID=108285&frmSearch=1#108285
I am not twisting anything you said at all. I just remember that the first time I gave you advice, you were very quick to come back and tell everyone on the board that you got bad advice. If you read the response to your post that I just cited, you can see where I clarified things and asked you to respond, but you did not.
Look, let's just leave me out of it. I am not your marketing department, playfully or seriously. I don't want the responsibility, stigma or reward of your success or failure. I just simply gave you advice and took time out of my day to spend time on the phone with you, answering your questions. I have no idea what you followed and what you didn't, or how you actually went about executing what I recommended that you do. All I heard is a blanket, "it backfired," and no clarification on what that meant.
It's great to come back and ask for feedback about your site, but the truth is that a provider website gets the 60-second scan, just as anyone would look at a CV/resume. It's a quick scan to look at pics, rates, etc. We aren't reading it with a discriminating eye, and we really don't give a shit about your bio or what color your eyes are. We are more concerned with your rates, and what your figure looks like (and as much of your face as we can make out).
You are saying the clients you are getting aren't the ones you want. But you don't say what kinda clients you want and what you are attracting. Give us something specific to work with, and give us some specifics as to how you are marketing yourself. Because otherwise we play mindreader.
If you have reviews and they are working for you, then I retract what I said. Great. I know that the site you are referring to has a lotta weight in that area, so maybe you should use that.
I am not bashing you. Read enough of my posts, and you can conclude really quickly that I am NOT singling you out. I am this way to everyone. I'm very direct, and I only even spend time writing stuff so that you CAN succeed. If you had no chance in hell, I wouldn't waste the time.
Good luck. I'd like to continue to give advice, but you need to be more specific. And stop concentrating on what your site looks like, because that is NOT the reason you aren't getting the clients you want. You will always have to wade through a bit of dreck. Changing your website is not the solution.
Very very carefully. Namely because I found it extremely hot! You seem to be exactly like the type of lady I try to connect with (less the kink but love the submissive) so hopefully my thoughts will help you connect with your target audience.
I agree about the typos. Especially on a site where page one extols the virtues of language. I understand it is difficult to proof your own material because your brain autocorrects when it already knows what is supposed to be there. I love prose and it is a plus to me but I do believe most folks, especially men, will find it somewhat burdensome and perhaps offputting. Maybe addinga page that is a more succint delivery of the same information would be a way to preserve something you obviously put passion into but also catch those who are not so into reading.
The biggest change I would posit is dropping the explanation of not using elite companion, etc. You don't need to tell us what you are not and my initial reaction to it being there was a feeling that you may be a bit haughty. It almost sounds as if you are putting others who do use it down and from a sales perspective, I do not want to hear what is wrong with another companies product from you. Just tell me what is unique and special about yours and I believe the rest of your site does just that.
If it would be of help, I used to make my living proofing text and I would be happy to give you a list of the things I caught. I cant pm here but you can add @yahoo.com to my handle and reach me privately. If I were in your area, I would be actively filling out a contact form rather than replying to this here! Best of luck to you.
Thank you very much! Your advice was very much appreciated. Also, I will definitely send you my pages for proofing (especially when I make edits in the future). It is true that the brain seems to auto correct, and it is ridiculously embarrassing for me to hear that I come off as an illiterate and haughty.
I tried really "fix" my website because I thought it was pretentious earlier. I was just so filled with all the fluff, it started to make me feel there was no "real rose", just a little copycat of more successful ladies.
I think I will sacrifice some of my words and try a more succinct, but not too much. I loved how Lauren Summerhill and Anais seemed to write a lot, but a little at the same time, and I know that is something I have always had difficulty with. (15 year old me: But teacher, I want to use ALL of the words! I want to say everything, I want to write an epic! Teacher: *hands me a copy of Strunk and White; takes my copy of Beowulf)
I will remove my disclaimer. I have to admit that the paragraph you find distasteful is a reaction to how distasteful I found myself for using the terms, and the irritation I have when I am perusing a website and ladies peruse it. I just don't understand why one would want to see someone who takes themselves so seriously. I think using the term "elite" to describe yourself is crass, because it implies that all others are just little plebeians, not as "VIP" as you. So I will remove the offending paragraph, since it seems to do the opposite of what I want!
Thank you, again. I will be in contact!
who have been in the biz for 10 years, who still get the emails you described. Don't expect guys to actually read your site all the way through. They look at pics and rates most of the time. I say just don't waste your time on people who can't read.
I know, but I can't help feeling like it's my fault for not being clear enough.
If the information is there, and it really is *just too much* for people to read, then I need to correct that.
Thank you ^_^
1. Make the type size at least one or two points larger. Makes it easier for us with older eyes.
2. Put a calendar on the calendar page or take it down.
3. I could not navigate from the links page back to the other pages. Did anyone else notice that?
All in all, I find myself very attracted to you on account of that site as your aesthetics and mine match very highly.
Hopefully it will work that way with others.
You know I always take to heart what you say, and my sizing of 16 font was actually done in response to a reply you posted on another forum... I will make my font even bigger!
Wait, why could you not get to the calendar?! I used google calendars (easy to sync with android phones), and it loaded on my browser (firefox). That answers why some people keep asking for my availability, because it isn't loading on their pages! Duh! However...that is the problem, I now need a solution.
Yes! We've all been frantically emailing the webmaster because our banners aren't working. My links work on all pages except the 'links' page, and no one knows why.
I like this site better than the other free ones because the designs are better, however, it's kind of jank. You can't really have anymore pages than I already have. I really want a custom designed Veda website, but until I work out the wording, formatting, and appeal on this one, I will not spend 1k on a custom site.
I think, if you are attracted, then I must be doing *something* right.
a new page opens with a space for the calendar, but no calendar.
On IE, I get an error message that says that the site was set up with a security feature that will not let me open it.
Computers are strange.
I don't have fire fox on this computer but I do at home. I'll try it there, but you should see if you can find a calendar program that will open on any of the major internet systems.
In any case, the layout of your site is very nice, and so are the photos. In fact you might want to watermark your photos as they could get stolen if you don't.
says she is in the SF bay area. I do agree, a more specific location would help, as the area is rather large.
Richard, this the newbie board, be nice when replying. She is asking for help, not to get cussed at. Keep your replies courteous or don't post here, this is not the GD board.

I will say at most, "SF-East Bay". I really live in Oakland, but I always post in SF (if Oakland is available), because my "marketing department" (crazyshit) and I decide that, knowing the reputation of Oakland, it's not good to associate with it. I love my city, even more than I love my favorite place in China, but to most people it's really ratchet and low class. It isn't, but that is what is said.
:/
Poor Oakland.
... I didn't know that Oakland was bad by a certain person's standards.
I've been to both SF and Oakland and I love them both equally.
If you want to market yourself as a top notch provider in Oakland... do it.
Don't be embarrassed for Oakland. Just because ONE marketing person thinks Oakland is not up to SF standards does NOT make Oakland a bad city.
Besides that, that ONE person does NOT speak for me.
Serpius
:/
Poor Oakland.
And Oakland doesn't have the same catchet as SF. Oakland was and still is considered more working class than SF.
Of course, if you say SF, you should also mention what part of SF you are in. There's a big difference in the different parts of the city, but being that you're in the Midwest...now, what the fuck would you know about CA?
I said the same thing, and you called me snarky!
Oakland has a bad rep, and that just is what it is. It doesn't mean I love it less, it doesn't make it less of an amazing city, but the clients I want have a bad image of it, so it won't help me to advertise there.
At the same time, you are complaining that what you are doing is NOT working.
Does that sound positive to you?
CS-Forgive me if I'm out of place here, but I didn't take CR's comment as snarky towards you. I thought she was being slightly humorous' which I appreciated. It sounded to me that she appreciated your help and was taking your suggestions. Just my $.02 and trying to keep the peace.
And you can continue to come on here and bitch about why things aren't working.
Which is the trend since you have been on here, by the way.
When was I snarky??? I gave you CREDIT in my response. We both decided oakland was a NOT good choice of location for me, due to it's reputation.
What are you talking about, then trend? These are the only posts I have started:
asking what people thought made someone "elite"
my thought on geisha vs oiran
what hobbying was like in the old days
what's on your sex playlist
what can I do to improve my for the clients I am trying to get.
When have I come back to bitch about things not working?? To my knowledge I only have 5 threads (plus my ads), and if I have more then post them here. I made a comment on SOMEONE elses thread about not liking ONE aspect of some advice you gave me, and you flipped. I am not snarky towards you, and haven't been. Go back through our emails and tell me that again. Then read my posts and tell me when I have come back just to complain. Really CS?
Argumentative.
Put him on ignore, & you'll be a much happier camper on TER.
Good luck on your website...keep it simple, updated pix, city, rates & large font for the old guys. You have great advise on this thread other than from crazyshit, lol.....
You rated a girl an 8 in looks. If anyone say this girl in person, they would rate her face a 5 or 6.
I always consider comments in context, and if that's your idea of an 8...well, that shows how reliable your commentary is.
Lol, your posts show how unreliable your commentary is, & she has plenty of 9s& 10s....so I'm not too off base, & don't have a string of 9 & 10 reviews. I'm thinking you had equipment failure w/her, & bitter about it the way you have obsessed on that. You're a malcontent, a miserable old bastard, skin flint, & really don't like women, that's why you are so angry. Another reason you hide behind your alias reviews.
A very self important geezer indeed.
What next Mr. Know it All?
It's just context to realize where the commentary is coming from.
If you think she's an 8, great. I'm just saying that I've seen her, and I know for a fact that she is not even close to that. But I don't write bad reviews for girls who have been honest with their photos. I just chose poorly. But you know...you and I don't share the same tastes, and if a provider with horribly crooked teeth can get an 8...well, I know now why they call you "Gatorjimmy."
I guess having teeth is a luxury down where you live, eh?
I am not your marketing department. I have given you advice, same as lots of others here. Yet you come back on these boards and complain that you "followed someone else's advice, and it clearly didn't work." I'm pretty sure that was pretty close to what you said about a month or two ago.
I'm not talking about Oakland. I'm talking about your overall dissatisfaction with how your business is going, and then in the same breath mentioning that I am your marketing department.
You mentioned that people aren't using your screening form. I said that shouldn't be your expectation, that a client's first response is to give you his information. I told you to just be social and talk to him over email. You said you didn't want to get explicit with session details. I never said you should do that and agreed with others that screening comes first. I also said that you need to learn to be a little more social with clients before expecting they will give you their information. You repeated your stance about not going into explicit details.
You can't get over one little comment, can you? You've held onto it and let it fester.
I am not overall dissatisfied with my business. Looking at all of my pre appoints, I finally feel like I'm on the right track, which is why I felt confident coming here and asking for help on my WEBSITE and my website ONLY.
What makes you think I'm not more social? All I have been doing is emailing back in forth.
You need to get over me saying you gave me bad advice in ONE aspect of your advice. Seriously.
I went onto ONE thread and said something you didn't like, and now it's "all the time".
Combine that with the "the advice you gave me backfired on me" (you didn't specify what advice and how you went about supposedly implementing my advice) statement, and I gotta wonder what it is that is gonna make you happy.
I mean...what do you want? What's deficient now?
I'm telling you...stop focusing on the website. That's wasted effort. Rewriting your bio ain't gonna mean shit because we just don't read too much about that. That's like reading the articles in Playboy. We might finally get around to that after we've looked at all the pictorials. We might get around to reading the bio if we have booked or are THISCLOSE to booking and just need to find out a little more about you.
Bios are bullshit, anyway. For every provider who says she is upscale and educated, I can point to 10 that aren't (who say they are). Everyone's in grad school or studying to be a nurse, too.
Stop worrying about your website. That won't eliminate the clients you aren't seeking. You will always need to vet those out.
... putting Crazyshit in your Ignore User bin.
Even TER told Crazyshit to put MY ID in his Ignore User bin, but he has chosen NOT to do so. Why? He needs to see everything that I say and have the last word in that.
Just like jimmy stated...
Ignore crazyshit. You'll be better for it. Crazyshit will always want to have the last word in EVERYTHING.

What are you talking about, then trend? These are the only posts I have started:
asking what people thought made someone "elite"
my thought on geisha vs oiran
what hobbying was like in the old days
what's on your sex playlist
what can I do to improve my for the clients I am trying to get.
When have I come back to bitch about things not working?? To my knowledge I only have 5 threads (plus my ads), and if I have more then post them here. I made a comment on SOMEONE elses thread about not liking ONE aspect of some advice you gave me, and you flipped. I am not snarky towards you, and haven't been. Go back through our emails and tell me that again. Then read my posts and tell me when I have come back just to complain. Really CS?
You are a tool. There is a reason you are blacklisted many times over, and there is a reason your personal information is out there.
Also, remember that you are the person who purportedly paid someone to bust and out London Rayne. You are the kinda sociopath that is a provider's worst nightmare.
Ok, so far I have:
1. TYPOS
2. Make it clearer that I am welcome to an inquiry email if someone (after having read the epic I have written), still needs to know more about me. Also, make it clearer that one may email the same booking information, if the form is intimidating.
3.Remove disclaimer (so not as to appear haughty)
4.Bigger Font
5. Figure our why my calendar is invisible/why links are not click-able
7. A more specific location
Perfect. I will take these into consideration as I rework my site, and will get back to you for further critique.
Thank you very much! This was all exactly what I was looking for. I also thank you for being so nice. ^_^
It would make for much nicer websites which is a win/win for everyone.
I think it was the right thing to do. But sometimes asking for help will get spit back in your face.
I just had an alias tell me my business was "failing" because I asked for a critique of my website. People don't want to ask for help if it will be misconstrued or used against them later.
I think you're on the right track for the kind of clients you want to attract. It's unfortunate but inevitable that people looking for more traditional escorts will approach you after not having bothered to read beyond your rates and gawk at your photos. (Which by the way are spectacular.)
As for the guys that try to initiate contact with sensitive inquiries: those aren't the droids you're looking for, move along. They're obviously not going to mesh with you on the level you would prefer. You appear to seeking a more attentive and discreet clientele, and I applaud you for not succumbing to the use of superfluous adjectives in your self description. You come across as pretty down to earth and approachable. A drawback of that is going to be being approached a lot. I hope you decide to endure the occasional misguided monger rather than alter your persona again to exclusify (that's a real word, right?) yourself. I find what I have read about you as you've presented it very, very attractive.
One thing worries me a little though, and that's your honesty in the paragraph where you explain why you don't do one hour meetings. Honesty is fantastic, but a little too much may get you some unwanted attention from the authorities. A cautious euphemism for the word sex may be in order. Happy Fun-time? Shenanigans? I'm being facetious with those, of course, but perhaps "passion". (Shenanigans is just a favorite word ever since watching Super Troopers) It may seem like semantics, but why give an adversary any ammunition to use against you?
My other problem is that you are on the other side of the country. A bubble bath with you sounds like heaven.
