Eros guide London?
« on: 27 March 2015, 10:32:31 am »
Hiya girls,

I've been "across the atlantic" for a while and now I'm back to London (hiya again :-). Before I left I use to advertise in the Eros guide in London and it was great. Awesome. Grrrreat clients. I just came back and I'm seeing the list of "advertisers" has "shrunk" considerably (which makes me think....hmmm). I've had an ad up for a week and no calls. Zero. So I wanted to ask if Eros London is working for you guys or with the advent of Backpage Eros is no longer worth it. Besides...it's really pricey...  :-\ So just wanted some feedback here and find out how Eros guide London is doing for you.

thanks! (It feels good to be back in Europe :-)

xo Ana

Not doing great from it, tbh. The odd hotel outcall from North American clients. I'm kind of happy to keep an ad so long as it pays for itself, but these are punters who may or may not come through London once or twice a year, so it's not a great source of regulars for me. Also, in terms of clicks on my site, cheaper ads get more results for me.

I tried advertising there back in Dec '14 and they wanted me to verify myself which I wasn't going to do. Thankfully manage to get a refund. I didnt have that problem in NY. Odd.

Does anyone else need to be verified on Eros London?

I started advertising in Eros London like 3 years ago (first time using it) and they did ask me to e-mail a scan of my passport. Once they got it they called me and had a long chat with me  on the phone to make sure I was voluntairly-doing-what-I-was doing and not being forced or trafficked or whatever (they did the same thing to my girlfriend too). They want to make sure nobody is trafficked or exploited and they will go to lengths to see everything is OK with you. I've even known women who got denied in Eros because they thought she was not the person in the passport. Usually I would never EVER send a copy of my passport to any sex directory/agency/website/you name it for the obvious reasons (potential blackmail/identity theft/etc..) but The Eros guide is based in Virginia (US)  -versus some law-less third world  tax heaven  (like AW)- which is not saying much but.... anyway...let's say I trust Eros and it's the only directory I would send a copy of my ID. Of course I may be wrong and I know I'm taking a risk.

If you're taking a risk so am I; I first used Eros the first time I worked in New York in 2010, and they've had my I'd since then. As above, it's a transparent, contactable and credible advertising platform and I agree with everything in the above post.

I've used it in London a couple of times and it's been OK, but it was a few years ago and I don't know what it's like now. In New York it's where virtually all my bookings come from and I'd be seriously struggling without it there.

Eros looks good doesn't it!
My girlfriend was on it 4 times last
year, (2014) and got no jobs.

It was our major London advertising.
Started going downhill 5 years ago...mystery.

Now it's owned by that Adult Friend Finder who
are incorporating their 'sex' dating and escort reviews.

I did use it in the UK for two months (that was 5 months ago). I got one booking per month (yes, you just heard that). So basically those 2 sessions payed for my two months ads.

Eros doesn't work for me anymore (in the UK that is).I don't know about other girls. It used to be great 3 years ago.

last year in New York my phones wouldn't stop ringing thanks to my eros ad. But for some reason people don't look at eros in the UK.

Not really worth it for me - very random response, usually the odd late night call from some hotel, just when I've scraped off my war paint and am drinking a hot chocolate in my flannelette pajamas. It does cover its cost, but they're generally business men who don't come through London very often, not local clients who are likely to become regulars.

I think you can tell if a directory works by the number of adverts on it. You'll often see the same profiles of the same hard-working, serious escorts.

I noticed that Punternet is a ghost town and they haven't shown up on many Google searches in a while.

I figure there are probably niches - particularly in London - that play out differently but if they're not first page/top of first page on Google for search terms that apply to your market and they don't have a lot of ladies displayed, then it's probably a waste of money.

I'm bringing up this thread (again) to see if anyone can add more as i posted it more than two years ago. I'm thinking in using eros.

to those with an ad there, any luck?
