OK, I'm very surprised. I just Googled "Chester Escorts" and guess who was in 6th position on the 1st page? :o Yup, these guys! As I've already posted a reply in this thread it caught my attention. I am logged into my Google account, but I've never actually seen the site. Pretty sure I've never even typed it's name anywhere. Is it just a clever trick that won't last more than a day or so? From what I've read in this thread it doesn't sound like the site is even fully functional yet.

It may sound like I'm trying to promote them, but I swear I've got no links to them whatsoever. I'm just curious as to whether they may be on to something after all, or if I'm just really tired and not thinking straight?

Best of luck anyway, and I will be creating that profile for definite now!

Ha, thanks for the unbiased post. But that is not us. We are hushmate.com and that is hushescorts. We only started marketing 3 weeks ago and won't have a decent ranking yet - very busy at the moment optimizing for a decent ranking. We don't have any escorts currently in Chester but when we do get one we'll create a dedicated 'Chester Escorts' page for those escorts.

I picked up on one thing you said which intrigues me. You said we may be onto something because you thought we were on page one of Google. Would you consider us some-what successful and more likely to use us if we are on page one of Google when say you do a search for "Chester Escorts" or "Nottingham Escorts"? Is that the success factor for you guys?

I appreciate the site is not finished, but our attitude is that a site is NEVER finished. It should constantly evolve and improve. What we have out there is what we think could serve one purpose (advertise and find) and probably represents 10% of our final ideas and where we want to go with it. To be honest what we have at the moment is really for us to wrestle a ranking in Google and once we have that we will look for more ways to increase exposure and earnings in a way controlled by yourselves. This is the very reason why I ask for thought and input because I simply take what you say and go and make it. This is also why it is free - our thinking is that it won't harm you having some free advertising, if it works great, if it doesn't it didn't cost anything.

The site looks ok and it's promising that they're responding to feedback. I added a profile and gave you a shoutout on twitter. Maybe change "sex" to "gender" or just have separate tabs under filter for male, female and transgender. Also seems to be a bug when I click on "female" all the women's profiles come up, but when I click from there to TS, all the women's profiles stay on the screen. Searching for "London" also just seems to list all the profiles from all locations. Maybe have some location list they can select from as well as the postcode thing. Clients won't always know the postcode of the location they're looking for. Can you please make my website link clickable?

Yes. You get to the top of the first page of Google and I'll consider you worth my time.

Ha, thanks for the unbiased post.

Er, none of the posts here are 'biased'? The members here are not representing other directory sites so it's not clear what you mean - if you're saying that any post which criticises something about your site is doing so because the poster is 'biased' (rather than because they think something is wrong with the site and could be improved) then that's beyond ridiculous.

Yes, if your site says 'sex' when it should say 'gender', it needs to be changed. If you hadn't thought that punters in Chester, Nottingham or wherever would being searching Google for 'chester escorts', or 'nottingham escorts' and so on I'd be fascinated to know what you thought they would be searching for instead? Nobody is going to bother looking seriously at a prossie ad unless they've established that they can actually get to see them and for that, they need to know where we are.

I still can't see the site because it doesn't work on my phone, but the tiny bit that does come up has the misspelt word 'discrete' instead of 'discreet' (in the context it could technically be correct, in that the advertisers are separate from each other, but I don't think that's what you meant).

Thank you for positive feedback. Will do all that you suggested and asked for. Super big thank you for reporting a bug - will get it fixed.

Makes perfect sense. If I don't get to top of Google its not worth my time either.

HM, when you're replying to individual people and want to quote them, you can use the 'Insert Quote' button on the right hand side of each one to add the bit you're talking about to the post you're writing. You don't have to make five separate posts for every reply.

Amy, I am referring to the bit where the original poster said she has no links with us. Not saying that anyone is biased, but rather that she is not biased towards us. I don't think for a second that you guys work for other directories, and I value the criticism very much. From the criticism I have had on here I have many changes I need to make which is a big win.

This is totally inline with our thinking and strategy. Phrases like this is exactly what we are optimizing for. I am just trying to understand what you guys consider a success factor.

Thank you for pointing out the spelling mistake - will be putting that right.

Now please don't destroy me for what I'm about to say but... we are considering whether or not to support Blackberrys. I know I said I would, but after some research we are not sure the effort is worth the reward as the market share of Blackberry users is so little.

Whether or not you support BlackBerry is your business entirely! It doesn't matter to me, because at the end of the day it isn't me who needs to be able to search, navigate and read your site - it's punters.

A lot of my clients turn up with a BlackBerry in London especially, but plenty also use Android and suchlike. I just thought it was odd that it wouldn't work at all when virtually all other sites do including mine (which I made in WordPress as a complete novice). I think the term is 'responsive', but then I'm a prostitute, not a web developer.

As for search engine terms, my best advice is keep it simple. If somebody needs to know your name to find you then you're stuffed, but equally (and as Ian has said) unless you've got the sort of wallet you need an armed guard to carry for you, you're going to struggle to hit the front page for anything like 'London Escorts'.

The term 'responsive' relates to respond to different screen sizes. 'Cross-device' is the term you mean. There is also 'cross-browser' which is to work on all the browsers such as IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc...

Wordpress sites are very good at that kind of thing. Ours is not a WordPress site as we hand write every line of code ourselves. The reason for this is so we are not constrained by WordPress when we wish to do something not done before.

Out of interest can I get a link to your site?

SEO is a beast of a topic. Yes you guys are totally right that you need a lot of money to get some keywords. The key is to know which keywords are worth going for, that can be challenged for cheaply with a good chance of hitting the top. Hopefully my SEO strategy will work.

For me (as an escort who does not offer bareback, and who does not want to be approached by clients looking for unprotected sex) it is a terrible idea not to offer bareback as an option on your site. As you have already admitted some service seekers will still look for it, and some service providers will still offer it regardless of your attempts at censorship!

By not offering a bareback option all you will achieve is to ensure that girls like me (who don't offer it) will be endlessly hassled by guys who are seeking this service. Because clients on your site will have no way of differentiating between the girls that DON'T want to do it, and the girls that DO do it but aren't allowed to be seen to be offering it, it means we will all be subject to constant begging requests for bareback. Why not just offer it as an option so that the people that like it can identify and find each other, and those that don't can be left free of millions of "but do you REALLY do bareback" type messages?

Hadley, thanks so much for the constructive criticism. Your point is crystal clear, and echoes what the other escorts have been saying. We shall not be disallowing the service.

I'm really glad to hear that, and thanks for responding to feedback.

I've just had a go at signing up and when I put in the first part of my postcode the google map appears with the exact location of my flat show as a little house. I assume because I'm am signed into google.... not really what I'd want tbh.

Hi and thanks for signing up. You only see that because you are signed in to Google. If someone else is signed in to Google then they will see their location not yours. If someone is not signed into Google then it won't show anything.

No wouldnt dream of a pin point locator.
