Here is an interesting question for providers. Are all your ads put up by you or do a lot of the provider ad sites grab your ads from other sites and post them without your permission...
SSSSsssssoooOOOOO TTTTrrrrrrUUUUUeEEEEE..... Ive been getting many calls from Creative Loafing. I never remember advertising there, but thank you Creative Loafing cause whatever they are running for me is working.
I post my own ads,but there are sites that will steal your ads from one site and post it on their site without consent.I guess trying to get traffic to their site which most people don't visit anyway.This has happened to me a few times and I have contacted those sites and had those fraudulent ads pulled.It's very frustrating let me choose where I am going to advertise don't just start posting my ads without consent somewhere else.I know some ladies think of it as free advertisement and don't make a big fuss but I don't think of it like that.There is a reason why I am indy let me do my own thing!
but doesn't having your ads being posted elsewhere benefit you??? More clientele for you cuz you cant monitor who sees your ad anyways , as long as people have the Internet you are open to the public!!!
It irritates me as well when sites think they are "doing me a favor" by copying my ads from the sites I advertise on. One site took my holiday images from last winter (me wearing a "Sexy Santa" type outfit) that looked absolutely ridiculous in the peak of the Las Vegas summer.
I recently noticed from my web hits that an escort in South Africa was using one of my images claiming it was her. Pretty funny as all of her images portray a dark-skinned woman, then there was porcelain-skinned me. LOL
Thankfully, all of the sites who have taken my images or copy without my permission were quick to remove them once I contacted them and requested they do so.
Its par for the course.. unfortunately , I believe in anything having a somewhat public appearance exposes one to be vulnerable.. As a great lady told me to "take it with a grain of salt.." Im not an advocate of that type of marketing but hey obviously anyone that pays for ads knows the risk and they need to be a bit more on top of there game if they want to prevent fraudelent ads.. my experience.Hope it helps Lovely Lorena also, when someone posts a post an opinion /on this post (general discussion)if you ad a link its a form of marketing.. thats what business is about.: )wink
her pictures and ads have been used for new clicks on some nasty site without their permission. Most ladies use google to search out such an undertaking but once they find an ad getting it off is tough. Yes, I have many floating around myself.
I do mine myself. I did have one stolen by another site, they also added a pic to the ad that was not me. I e mailed them and asked them to take it down this morning. This is the only time it has happened to me. If they don't take it down, there are other options, however, before exercising my other options, I gave the people who run the site an opportunity to correct themselves. I made them aware of what my options are and told them I will pursue them if I need to.
I didn't even know I was on that site, a client of mine brought it to my attention.
I hate it when another site grabs my ad! Rarely do I voluntarily advertise with them once they do this. For my own personal reasons....I need to be the ONLY one in charge of my ads. I like to know where they are.
