Yes, we touched on this previously in another thread.
I personally wouldn't pay for it. Although I do think it's good value for money, it's like Google; once you drop off the first page, that's it. People tend not to look any further.
I used it when it was free for Manchester and apart from the one rude neanderthal-type mail I received from a twat, the response was otherwise pretty good.
I would probably use it one-off for a tour, as I'm off to Edinburgh in November. But that's it.

What are you thoughts on it, Lucy?

Saying all that, just had a look and I do notice that, at the risk of sounding like a snob, a lot of the tat is gone. Which means you might get to stay on the first page that little bit longer.

I wouldn't pay for it. I took myself off it as all I got from that place were total idiots that could not be bothered with any form of pleasant conversation such as 'Hello, I would like to enquire about a booking....' You know, basic English!  I got a line at best saying 'wot ur rates?' The majority thought I would charge about 30.00 an hour and eventually, enough became enough, I stopped even looking when I got told I had a message and deleted myself. Total waste of time and energy never mind pay for it!

Post in Massage services instead for free

if enough people do not pay they will soon get bored and make it free again.

I tried posting in 'massage' but they took it off...must have worded it wrong.

I have noticed less calls since I haven't used vivastreet.  It would be good if vivastreet could do a weekly fee which would be great for tours. 

i did the featured advert on viva st to see what sort of calls i was getting  i then took my number off and directed them to my website as i found that it got rid of a lot of the idiots so far been worth it
but time will tell
 

looks like they are still charging Brandy you are right they have not got bored yet!!!!

The reason they give for charging now is to stop the duplicate ads, which really were quite annoying. See what happens when you abuse the system.

Finally managed to do it, will start to get a few calls as soon as it's published will see how many of them turn into bookings.
