After reading the "stupid qustion" post 3 topics down, I have a question to add on to that. There are maybe 1 to 2 reviews a month for a provider... is that how many clients she sees in a month? Or do the majority of hobbyist not post reviews?
reviews may represent 1 out of 20 clients seen from what i know. depends on many factors. repeat clients, indifference to being reviewed, etc.
Not every man even knows what review boards are -

are the gals who clearly have a "no reviews please" policy posted on their website.
At the other extreme, there are gals who use TER as a primary (or even sole) venue to meet new friends. They actively post in these forums, participate in chat room, advertise on the regional boards, etc. They may have much higher ratio than 1 in 20.
In the middle are those who advertise elsewhere, but the ad includes a link or reference to their TER profile.
MrFisher pointed out a very important fact. When a lady is new, if she is popular and highly rated, she will get a lot of reviews very quickly.
Over time though, her mix of clients tends to change and a larger percent of her clients each week are repeat clients instead of new clients. These clients usually have already written a review if they are going to write one.
It is my opinion that the frequency of reviews has more to do with the length of time the lady is in business instead of how many clients she is seeing each week.
If you travel the country like I did for a few years, you will rack up reviews. Each tour you might get a few. When I am at my home state, and I see maybe a friend a week, a review is rare.
I did become quite popular and started touring right away when I fell into this four years ago.
I like to be reviewed. It lets the community know I am up to something SEXY!! My reviewers seem to enjoy writing their reviews as much as they enjoyed me. That is very flattering.

Don't some providers refuse to let their reviews appear on TER? I also get a kick out of providers who give a link to their very mediocre or poor reviews.
I average about two reviews a month, but that is definitely not an accurate count of the clients I see. My bed isn't a revolving door or anything, but if I only saw two clients a month (at my current rates)? I'd be starving ... and questioning my marketing skills. 
Well there is number of reviews in my case that did not get approved because reviewers "do not have sufficient review history" ... number of Gentlemen are regulars and some just do not wish to review for their personal reasons.
So i would say 1 in 20 may be accurate estimate.
