Punternet
« on: 30 March 2012, 02:50:41 pm »
Hi Ladies,

Wonder whether any of you can help?

Three days ago I submitted a new listing for Punternet and since then I haven't heard anything.

The guy who runs Punternet (is it Galahad or something?) normally gets back to you quite promptly I've heard.

In my case I've not heard anything. I also sent him a follow up email yesterday morning asking what was happening and I?m still waiting to hear back. Should add it was polite!

I've since logged onto Punternet and my advert is still showing as "awaiting for approval".

What should I do? Does this mean I'm unlikely to get listed and should just forget about Punternet?

I should also mention I did not mention anything about AW or try to add any links to AW on my listing as I know this is big no, no with Punternet.

Thank you x

He could be away for some reason or other.

Has there been a new batch of FRs posted in that time or have other new listings appeared?
'The Ian formerly known as SW5'. What they said: "Indispensable", "You are our best resource", and (hours later!) "I'm afraid that you're being made redundant..."

He's probably away, to be honest. Sometimes listings don't get updated right away, but they are always done within a few days.

Try this: http://www.punternet.com/listing_info.html

If you somehow manage to submit a listing after me and get listed before me, I won't be a happy bunny! lol

Many people have tried Punternet and not had much business out of it. 

I tried it say a year or so ago and got the same response.  I wouldnt recommend to anyone but that is just my personal view.

Someone else may have made thousands out of it ............. if they did though ................. I'd like to know how. :(

And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Yup when I had an ad up I got 1 booking in 6 months so no good for me.......therefore wouldnt recommend it for our area either; must work better elsewhere.

Thanks for the heads up ladies. I have heard quite a few girls say this but then lots of other girls, especially the long serving established ones,  swear by Punternet, so it's a tricky one I guess.

I've known about Punternet for a while but always refrained from advertising on there because I just get a really bad vibe from the sort of creepy guys that seem to live in the forums there. The Eternal Optimist in me says that?s probably because the good guys are too busy visiting girls to pay for sex rather than sitting in a room and talking shit.

Anyway I figured it's only ?15.00, if it doesn't work fair enough but at least I tried it. Now that is not a philosophy I'm willing to adopt when it comes to Rimming lol ;D

Yeah, I've generally found that on a site with listings and a forum, the forum-dwellers are only a tiny weeny minority of site visitors and really don't represent the clients who are just using the site to find their next escort, because the latter group have neither the time nor the inclination to spend all day just talking about having sex with prostitutes.

I mean, if you look at the female posters on Pnet forums and then look at the gazillions of escorts listed on the site or reviewed on there, the forum-posters are definitely a tiny minority. So I'm guessing it's the same with the men although of course I can't check Galahad's site stats to see exactly how many blokes are browsing the listings and reviews every day... but I think any of us who've had a review posted have received 1000s of hits to our site on that day so it looks like a helluva lot more people use the site for information than for having unpleasant conversations with trolls and ENDLESS tedious arguments about whether a prossie should have the radio on during a booking or not etc. Thankfully! ;D

I'm in London and find my ad (and reviews) on there to be well worth the fee, especially when compared to London-Independents or Eros-London (?33 and ?94 per month respectively!). So, yeah, you won't find me complaining about ?15 for Pnet - especially as you never have to go and look at the forum if you're of delicate constitution like me. :P

I don't hear Punternet mentioned as much as adultwork but I know I do get quite a few bookings as a result of my ad on there - I just think guys don't refer to it. A great example of the 'minority' regards the forum is that initially I did get a lot of guys phoning using withheld numbers from the listing, and/or who said they hadn't realised they could click through to my website from there. Those on the forum are generally very internet savvy, and also know most WGs don't answer or take bookings from withhelds(not all but an awful lot).

So don't assume the forum and the ads get the same readership, and responses - they don't.

Thank you Emily, that's given some assurance. Now if only Galahad would get back to me, I could go and find out for myself!

One thing I noticed about Punternet is that it doesn't have the high google rank other directories do.

I really wouldn't worry about google ranking, word of mouth and the press  make up for it.

Just as an aside, if you google for search engines google doesn't come top, and only has a page rank of 9/10, I really do have too much time on my hands this week.

ive been on punternet for a long time and as far as stats go its within my top 5 for the number of hits and i get a fair amount of business from there each week
and for 15 /30 a month its pretty cheap in comparable with adultwork which is 1 per day just to show your number

if you do the posting each week where you are allowed two posting for your area  dont put more than 7 days in the box  that way it means you can post two  post with details specials offers on every seven days and if you split it in half   you can do one mid week and one at the weekend every week
