Fetish Escort Directory
« on: 21 January 2013, 03:44:17 pm »
Hi All

This page was pointed out to me by one of the ladies that lists on my site, but I have been unsure about whether to post a link here or not for a while, due to the fact that I know the kind of response I have received from a few serious Pro Dommes that hate being associated with the word 'escort' in any way (which is entirely fair, that is their decision and I accept that not everyone will approve of my site). However as this site actually had the word 'Escort' in the title I decided there is some hope of escaping relatively unscathed (but probably not).

Fetish Escort List is a free listing escort directory designed to bridge the gap between standard escort services and Dominatrix sessions (because not everyone is just looking for either sex or a professional Dominatrix session, many people have simple fetishes and want something inbetween, which we find many escorts are happy to offer (speaking from personal experience, as if I didn't run the site I would likely be a client of it)). I know when hearing the words fetish services some people instantly run away, but if you take a look you may be surprised, it's really not as shocking as it sounds (although from recently spending over 4 hours reading all 260+ pages of the 'How not to book an escort thread' (which was truly hilarious in parts and quite disturbing in others!) I am pretty sure a lot of people here have seen it all before anyway).

The purpose of this post is to let people know the site exists, but I won't pretend otherwise... this is complete spam and I apologise in advance. It's not the iggest listing on the net, it's not even close, but I do feel it has a pretty specific client base and can convert hits into bookings, and I hope I'm not wrong about that (it's taken 6,670 hits in the last month, the important part being that they came from 1356 visits made by 1193 unique visitors. Although that was boosted by around 180 visitors the first couple of days the site was listed on punterlink, so realistically it's around 1000 unique visitors a month. Not the biggest, but I like to think still pretty popular, and growing steadily).

For anyone still reading the site can be found at...

http://www.fetishescortlist.com

...and all listings are completely free. You simply head to the submit a listing page, fill in the form telling me which areas you cover and which fetishes you are happy to provide and I will do the rest (I check and add all listings manually, rather than an automated system, it just feels right). There is a featured escort spot at the top of each fetish page which is ?100 for an entire year, and a single banner advert on each fetish page for ?200 a year (aimed at companies/clips for sale stores...etc, but I only recently added those), hopefully based on visitor type/numbers and the fact there is only 1 featured listing on any fetish and once it's gone it's gone people won't think that is too unfair. :)

So yes, that's about it. All this rambling just basically to post that one link up there ^ becuse I felt I should at least try and justify why I decided it was hopfully ok to spam your forums. Please don't lynch me. :|

Oops, I forgot to point out that at the moment the site is entirely UK based. I hope to open it up to cover Europe (and maybe even other parts of the world) in the future, but at the moment I just don't have the time it would need. I will look at doing that once (if) the UK site becomes really established.

Thanks for the spam via AW, by the time I logged in to read it properly I found your profile had been removed.

Upon reflection I realise messaging on AW was probably a stupid move. I'd never really looked at it, and when I did my first impression was sort of a myspace for the adult industry. I sent out around 15 messages and quickly got 3 back informing me that I shouldn't be doing it, so I stopped. Error of judgement. :|

15?Well how come I was singled out in this marketing scheme?If I was marketing a fetish site(or anything like that) my fairly vanilla profile would be way down the list of possibles behind several thousand.

By the way you've missed my county out in your list, but that's pretty common it's assumed there's nothing here(although I know of at least one lady who might be suited to your directory).

There wasn't really much of a 'marketing scheme', I clicked the escorts button at the top left and started there, and didn't get very far. Your profile must have loaded on the very first page of AW results, which is either a huge coincidence, or a much better marketing strategy on your part.

With the counties on the site I think I cover all of them, but as it's still new the only ones displayed on the 'County List' page are those with active escorts that have listed through the site. The south (obviously east in particular) seems really popular, but not so much the north, so rather than have people wasting their time going to pages just to be told 'We have no escorts listed in your area' (which I did originally) I decided to hide those counties. The full list is on the submit a listing page, and then when a listing is submitted for an area not yet covered I add it in. (unless you mean I have missed a county off the submit a listing page, but I was pretty sure I had them all. I mean I even have Cleveland and Strathclyde on there... and I'm not even sure where they are) :P

That could be because Strathclyde hasn't existed since 1996. It is (or was) where Glasgow is, which is somewhere you might have heard of.

I didn't get an email and it isn't a site for me anyway but as a general rule, wholesale spamming by cut-and-paste email is probably the second fastest way to really get people's backs up, especially when you haven't bothered to target the emails at those who might be interested. The very fastest way is by unsolicited text message, especially those weird ones which don't allow you to reply or block the number.

Clicking the link you did on AW brought up a list of ladies who were paying to be 'Featured' yesterday. Having an outdated counties list is a bit daft but something which is quite common on self-created 'this is a good idea' directories. Luckily you do have 'Cumbria' many  sites go back to the 1970s splitting it up into the old counties of Cumberland and Westmorland, so you aren't doing that badly.
