I've received several of these emails, only when I finally did click on the link to make it go live, I don't appear.  I've never bothered with them in the past, as I've heard nothing but bad things about Backpage, so I assume Cracker won't be any different, especially if they're offering me free advertising that doesn't show.  I can't be bothered chasing it.

I kept some stats when I took out a featured ad on Cracker/Backpage and the ratio of TW was very bad. My stats showed 7 out of 10 bookings didn't turn up. (The stats for AW calls were the other way around, only 3/10 cancelled or no showed. So it wasn't a feature of the area.)

I spent about ?30 on the ad and made over ?200 in bookings from it, so it did pay for itself. But what I find annoying is that you can only take the ad out for a month, and there's no way of moving the ad location. I tour for a week at a time so it's not brilliant value for money for me.
And me, I am not a mess, I am a wilderness, yes

 Glad I found this thread I had a feeling Cracker would be  mainly time wasters.  I just had an email offering a free trial, they'd  lifted my details  from elsewhere and have the location wrong so I don't think I'll be bothering

Oh for Gods sake now I find they've  put this ad up without my permission and I've had some dodgy email asking if I do two guys at once with filming when I do neither of these things !!

You can just delete the add when no longer in the area ( that's what I do )
Apart from bristol where I leave it running permanently

I haven't activated it or clicked on any link so have no login details despite that it's gone live. I've advised them they put the wrong area. They have ignored this and I am now getting really pissed off because I keep getting calls from people thinking I'm in a different area

So I've emailed them again to ask them to either take it down or at the very least put the correct area

I have advertised on these for the past two weeks and had zero bookings.

I'm getting plenty of calls but not one has called my main number on the autoresponse to deter time wasters. Some have even called 3 times in a row. Like the autoresponse is going to change!!!

I'm kept busy enough  with AW but I just can't be bothered with the above. I'll use VS in my local area but that's it!

Does anyone actually get ANY work from them?

Maybe the autoresponse is a bad idea but now that VS allow nothing in the ad, I don't think I could cope with the lengthy phone calls.

Is anyone experiencing the same? For the record I've used it in East and West Midlands.

Hi Blaize about a month ago I thought I?d give them a go and didn?t get one booking either,very disappointing. I occasionally advertise on Vivastreet and do get some bookings from that.

I usually expect a maximum of 1-2 bookings per tour via backpage. It works well for me in London, the South East, Oxford and Wales.

I put a free ad up in the past month and just had two timewasters that was all.  Guys who hadn't seen an escort before and never made a booking.

When you pay for it ?5 move to the top - ONCE - and it shows up in the - Top category and Gallery category - You are to get bookings as the free advert side does show your profile in gallery. So long as you are fully clear on your service do and don'ts. Cracker/Backpage when paid works. Free add no clients come through. x
