has a pic in her ad or is just a link to her website enough.

It makes the ad and girl stand out further. Words are great but a little visual never hurt!

I mean...never, not even when my website was public. I think it DOES help grab attention, but eh...I don't care ha ha. I think my last 'ad' was right when I moved to Fla. and was letting people know, then I changed my damn mind about working and took the month off lol.  

with my looks, it's not the top reason someone would find me compatible or alluring. And I still haven't been able to find a photographer who's more editorial, and not the widely used naughty pictures. I hope I will next year. So, I haven't done pictures in the last set of posts, except for the Halloween thread.

If you look at the ones TerriLynn from Atlanta has in a ballroom, that might be the type of photos you're seeking. I will see if I can find the link.

then i just move on. i never click the link. ya never know if there's a cyber virus behind that link extension.
if the gal has reviews, i may click on the "see reviews" link under her name. then i'll click on the links on her review page.

He's VERY easy going and will do the kind of shoot YOU want if you give him specifics.

if the lady's prose is interesting, not mundane and pedestrian, shows an interesting mind behind the words, then maybe i will.  if she has reviews i might click on them to see the average score, and if it's 9 or close to it, i will go to her web site.

When I'm traveling to a very active market with lots of ads I'm much more inclined to click the TER profile link if there's a picture embedded in the ad (I almost always click the profile link before the website link embedded in the ad). However, at home in Philly, there are not a huge number of ads going up day to day, and I'm more likely to read the ad (versus just scan it) and click through based on what I've read.

Deff agree with a few ladies here, I personally don't ever post a pic in an ad (think I only did that once) and gentlemen, if you're too lazy to click on a link to get the whole magilla of the gal.....well what Cosette said lol......and I'll kindly add keep on movin on lol.  

However, I prefer a picture in the ad, otherwise I'll click on the ter profile link. If she doesn't have a profile link, I will click on the ad link. I mean really, how much effort does it take to find the picture?

Some of us want your first born for an appt. lol. If you ever want to know how many time wasting jackasses only look at your pics but will NEVER book, password protect your website lol. Shocking.

But seriously, if the point of an ad is to catch eyeballs, a pic is going to be more effective than no pic, obviously. If there are a lot of ads to sort through or I only have time for a quick scan, I'm going straight for the pics and then investigating from there

Seeing how Men are VISUALLY Stimulated....

I would say, Yes, it does matter if the whole reason why the lady put up the ad is to "stimulate" a guys interest in contacting her!

And some just cannot enjoy sex otherwise.

Oh, I agree 100%

Our mind is the most powerful "sex organ" we have!    

If there is a picture on the ad and it's a picture I don't care for, I won't have to click any further. If there is no picture then I will click on the review link, and web links etc. to find pictures and to get more info.

The pose, the setting, a facial expression (If she shows her face.) all give me a glimpse into the psyche of the provider, and I find that a very important factor in determining whether I am right for her, and vice versa.

Just go with the flow dude. Why make a big deal of nothing?

What can I say?  I'm lazy.

old the pics are. Some of them are years (3 - 5) older and pounds lighter. I like the ones that have the month or year it was taken.

fully understand marketing.  Why waste the chance to let guys see you right away?  
My time is valuable too - so I usually just move on...

Re: Oh, I agree 100%

you are so right.
The point is to grab our attention.
There are plenty of other places where we can go for wonderful prose.
Ultimately, the success of session will rely on much much more than just looks obviously, but as a starting point, we at least have to know if we are physically attracted to you.

Actually, that's not true at all. The best branding strategies involve creating a sense of mystery and urgency, and that is just what many high end gals are doing. Most guys who do nothing but stare at photos for days on end, don't even have the funds to book with said lady. Many of these women feel they are not going to show you the goods before you book, and I tend to agree with that philosophy. Only the average, bang for the buck market insists on jack off material. Guys shucking out thousands per date ARE looking at prose, and a variety of other things....looks come in about number 3.  

nor insult anyone - sorry if I hit a nerve.
I'll accept what you said about your marketing on face value, which is indeed interesting.
But this is obviously a business where first impressions are important.
I told you the initial impression that a lack of a picture makes on me, what it makes me "think" (i.e., it was not a declarative statement).  With so little to go on about people, we form these opinions with the little scraps that we get.
And I'm sure you know better than most that the prose that is written is often very cookie cutter stuff anyway, and not necessarily helpful to the gentleman in getting a true sense of how a given provider is different from any other.

I am merely pointing out that there are various markets in which each provider hopes to attract, so she does things on purpose to ensure that. For instance, if a lady does not want to deal with cheap, hourly clients, she has a 2 hour min. If she does not want to deal with career hobbyist types, she demands no reviews and is nowhere near TER. If she prefers word of mouth referrals vs. advertising, she goes UTR.
