Ladies, please stop using Exotica 2000 links in your ads and posts. E2K refuses to be TER reviewed, so you can not link to their site. A number of their competitors are TER reviewed and links to their sites are fine. So either link to your review profile, your ad on an escort mall or get your site/page TER reviewed and link to it.

The whole TER review process in mostly a money deal. In exchange for being allowed to advertise for free on the TER Boards, you must give TER a free logo post on your board. Nothing more complicated than that. When you enter your site for review, it is placed in a database that anyone on TER can use to search for your site. In essence you are placing an ad in the database and helping TER build an escort search engine.

Deleted my original reply.... I misinterpreted the original post.

why exactly does E2K refuse to be TER reviewed? anyone know?  it seems kinda silly (dare i say, elitist) that they won't even put up a little TER logo on their front page like everyone else (SDG, FCP, BM, PSW, PCDM, etc)

makes you think if it's really true that [cough] 99% of their "established clients" don't even know TER exists.  is that why they don't care?  ... what, it's not good enough that TER is the #1 escort review site on the net?  are they holding out for someone better to come along?

Why don't they just allow girls, sites, etc. to post a link or banner on ANY page the individual wants? Lots of girls post links to their TER reviews and/ or a banner in their links sections saying, "check out my reviews here." By making people out that "tacky" button on the front page it makes site design look rather cluttered, "IMHO."

Actually it's true that there are more clients that are not aware of TER and similare review boards than people think.

naturally my dear, the well-informed hobbyist is certainly NOT who most escort agencies want as a prospective client!  

seriously, i've been told this is the case but you gotta wonder what that % actually is ...  someone told me it's as high as 90% but i want to doubt that.  anyone have a better handle on the accurate stats?

maybe for E2K that's the case in Chicago or London, at least THAT i can (sorta) believe.  but don't tell me that the majority of their LA clientele, are as clueless and "unplugged" as the rest of humanity

If you notice, E2K for the most part tries to disassociate itself from anything that could be interpreted as suggesting or promoting prostitution... actually, a pretty smart thing to do when you think about it. For example, none of the photos of the ladies on their site involves nudity.  I'm guessing a banner that links to TER would to them be a de facto admission that they know their ladies are more thatn "social escorts", which is something they apparently do not want to do.  Just a guess on my part, but I think a good one.

I think Staff would let you post the link on your last page, if you don't mind your ads being posted on the last page of the Discussion Boards

I have to agree with Sinnamon on this.  I was active in the hobby for over a year before I knew TER existed - local ads and other resources led me to some outstanding providers that don't have a web presence.  In fact, I have had my best experiences with providers that do not advertise at all.

You are absolutely right Eddie! That is why many ladies, PSE or not REFUSE to be reviewed and request that their reviews be removed right away if they are without their knowledge. While it may be good for the gent that wants to know the "real deal" on a lady, local LE has decided that sites like this are quite useful in arresting some unfortunate lass. I've seen it happen in various cities, from San Diego to Atlanta, pages of reviews are printed as "evidence," her electronic ad is as well... Many ladies, (and agencies,) have this little thing about protecting their real client... who, when you think about it - is the girl - not the guy that patrons her.

I've been told by a few pornstars that they get MANY clients from the agencies who are not even aware that they are meeting a pornstar.  Hard to believe?  maybe, but it may go something like this (turning around and mussing up my hair, (if I had any) preparing for the impersonation)....

Let's use E2K... they are actually two agencies... Exotica and NY Elites.  NY Elites has non-pse providers including many runway models, some off broadway actresses, etc., but there's some cross promoting going on for some of the pornstars.

A high roller clients calls them up and says "I'm looking for a lady who is wild in the room, brunette with big boobs... open to almost anything... bbbj dfk greek... send me the best lady you have who fits that description...

Knock, knock, knock... it's Anna Malle!

PSE's are a very small portion of the hobby, and there are a lot of guys out there who love to meet high priced escorts who have never seen a porn video...

Where we serve a valuable service to not only fellow hobbyists, but to the agencies as well, is when we see a new provider and review her.  after a review, the agency knows what the girl is like, and can go on to recommend her to a client who doesn't necessarily ask for a particular lady, just a particular type.  

Believe it or not, the agencies can be just as clueless as we are regarding what the girl is going to be like on her first tour.  Take Belladonna for instance... we all have expectations, based on her videos, but these agencies aren't fans of porn... they don't watch and analyze the girl's movies and say "Hmmm... I think she's what we're looking for"... they hire based on who they can get, and how many requests they've gotten for her, and they might not even meet the girl before she arrives in NYC for her first tour.  And it's pretty awkward to say to a girl... do you swallow?  Do you take it up the ass?  Besides which, the agency doesn't really care if she does or doesn't.  "Belladonna?  Shit, we've been getting 20 calls a day asking if she's available, now we've got her".  They don't care if she just lays there like a bump on a log; they're going to sell her bookings out, at least the first time... they'll worry about her reviews later.

So the answer to your question is yes, readers of these boards are a very small percentage of the agency's clientele, and truthfully, we're for the most part the one or two hour guys, not the full-evening-dress-her-up-take-her-to-the opera-then-back-to-the-room-for-a-good-night-fuck kind of guys, which is what the agencies all really want.

"Pornstars at the Opera" ? ...  wasn't that an off-off-Broadway show?

NO NO NO! it was a 1935 Marx Brothers comedy, an MGM release I believe.

as always
HAPPY HUNTING
