So I just posted a add on back page and it was completely free, I'm now concerned that I won't get any clients, free advertising just seems to good to be true, how has backpage worked for you?

It's not free in London. I when I post I get the bitcoin or payfree option, and they charge me as usual.  >:( Which city are you in?

We hope you've enjoyed posting for free over the last couple of days.
It's free to post in all categories.
 
HOW FREE ADS WORK:

Free and paid ads initially post into the same section and sort by date. After a grace period, free ads change position to the Additional Ads section below the paid ads.
 
NEW:

Upgrade prices have been lowered. For example, you can now Move to the Top for free once every 24 hours. Each additional Move to the Top within a 24 hour period is ?1.00.
 
PAYMENTS:

Many users are are purchasing credits and paying for upgrades with Bitcoin.

Thanks for posting with us.

True. It's free in New York, in Bristol and in many more places but you have to pay to post in London  :FF :FF :FF

Mmmm.. tried again this morning from a different e-mail account (instead of my usual one). No free ads for me. It's all bitcoin or payfreecard. I did posted for free in Manhattan (lol).

I had no joy trying to post an ad in Oxford recently. I'm tired of trying to post an ad there and I won't bother, now. Busy enough with Vivastreet and AW.

Maybe they should consider taking UKash vouchers?

Viva street is so expensive and seen as I am just starting out I just can't afford it, how much custom do you guys get on back page?

In some places, a little bit. Got a handful in Manchester, a handful in London, some in Oxford. It varies by town how well it will work.

Vivastreet definitely is expensive. However, AW can be free: either you don't post a phone number and rely entirely on being found and emailed or you put up a private gallery of fanny shots and let the credits pay for phone number, local search, and Available Today.

Backpage used to be an American company started by the Village voice media then got sold to another company that based themselves in Holland (this was done on purpose for obvious legal reasons). I'm sure those guys in Holland are going nuts right now because this was a company that was profiting with millions every day and since the last week when visa and mastercard pulled out they are making a  small fraction of that money. So I'm sure they're considering all possibilities. Sounds like paypal, UKcash et al don't want to get involved. I believe it's completely crazy what they're doing because at least with credit cards there was a way to trace down the bad apples, now with bitcoin and paysafe all is going "underground" and there's no way of tracing trafficking.

I have been on aw for almost 2 months, I have my number up and only use available today when I can  do incalls I also feature my profile in my area, and have a small private gallery and do webcam and phone calls for extra credit! But because I am outcalls mostly I wanted to advertise more.
If I could get a regular place to do incalls it wouldn't be so hard  :FF

I'm loving backpage.I seem to get the Americans and the Londoners that are used to using it making bookings when they are in Leeds and it still seems to be allowing me to repost once a day for free.

I am along time user of back page, I tried to sign up for the pay safe stuff and it was done in seconds, really easy but failing that all you do is go to a pay point and get a top up card and enter the code online and its done, you don't actually have to sign up for an account.
