I took up the offer and have been pleasantly surprised by how it has worked for me.

I have noticed a distinct increase in calls and business (I live in quite a remote spot so don't get the quantity of work that city dwellers do)

The only irritant is that I can't change my location that they have given me and it's rather a large city that is over half an hour away from my work.  SOME clients actually read the profile, where I say where I am based, but most don't so I have to keep explaining which is getting pretty boring.  I have emailed them directly but not heard anything.

Would I recommend? YES but I took a lot of care in writing my profile.

Hope this helps any of you who can't make a decision.  It's free to start with so give it a go!

Hi Megan,

Thank you for the feedback and glad the site is working well for you in terms of calls and business. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a problem on the location front, your email will have gone to our general customer service box but could you please forward it onto es@vivastreet.com and I can look into it asap for you and hopefully help you resolve this issue.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

I must admit Vivastreet has been a Godsend the last few days in different parts of Scotland. Have used a different number for Vivastreet and I would say I have had just as many clients from there as Adultwork. So far the change of location feature has worked out well too. However, if you are going to only need to change it once or twice within the month it would probably be best to just buy 2 or 3 adverts.
Can't say yet how it will work in the South East and London.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

I only just realised that even though you input your phone number, VS impose their 070 number over the top. I'd recently received an email from them offering a free 1 month advert and thought I'd make use of it, got into my account did what they instructed which was to send an email with the ad number, no response. I eventually paid for the ad and it's only just last night whilst making some changes I realised the little box that was ticked  (something like Vivaprotect) which had covered my own number with one starting with 070.

Ok my fault for not remembering they do this, but worth knowing incase it slips by anyone else. It appears to be an automatic thing that you have to actively find and untick.

Hi Strawberry,

Thank you for your feedback, yes we do have 070's on the site but you can opt out (we are just in the process of updating the tick box to opt in rather than out). I am sorry that you dont seem to have had a reply with regards to the free ad, I look after the es@vivastreet inbox and havent seen this. Please do resend to me and we can upgrade your current ad or offer you a free one for next time - whatever works best for you.

Thanks,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Having abstained from advertising on Vivastreet for a while, but reassured by this thread that things have changed, I went ahead and advertised with all the bells and whistles.  Advert approved, no photos removed. 

I change location, nothing else, no text change, no photos added, and it goes into moderation for a few hours and I get a message now that photos have been removed.  What I don't get is, doesn't the person moderating the photos the second time around feel foolish to be over-riding what a colleague had previously approved?   One of the ones removed is me fully dressed as an office secretary!!!  In fact, another one is me in lingerie, no "money-shots" showing.

Strawberry, as far as I'm aware their system will not allow a direct link on the ads.  I asked about it a while back and that is what I was told   ::)
Beauty is nothing to do with having a pretty face.
It is about having a pretty mind, a pretty heart,
And most importantly a beautiful soul.

Hi Pru,

Thanks for getting in contact, I am very surprised that your photos have been removed from what you say they showed? We have been very busy of late and had to  bring in some extra heads, but we should still be following the same rules. Can you please email me with the ad ID and the photos and any changes that were made and I will look into this for you and feedback as to what happened.

Thanks,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hi Stawberry and Lady Lust,

Good news we are currently testing the clickable link solution in some of the smaller categories to ensure it is bug free and wont cause any issues. It will be show towards the top of an ad next to the phone number and email. I will try and get a test ad set up so I can show what it will look like next week and post in the forum and get your feedback. we are hoping to have the final version if all goes well with testing in the next month or so.

Thanks,

I resent the email I sent in January and between me and the Vivastreet team they've now posted the previous ad - so I have two ads running on the same page, one with old details, one I submitted and paid for a few weeks back. What a mess!

The free repost which is now 'featured' has also included the 070 number and won't let me remove it (I'm also not wanting my phone number on my ad at all) without me paying.

This happened to me many times. What one mod allowed the other didn't. Because all have different beliefs is my conclusion of what is and isn't allowed. Talking from experience many times with this problem. Until had enough and put a smart elegant plain jane photo up all covered.

Just thought I'd clear up the hash of messages I made yesterday.

VS as indicated advised me to forward the email I sent in January. The deal was free advertising for 1 month all  you had to do was email them with the ad number - which is what I had done, but when no reply I created another ad with some updated details paid and posted that.

Few days ago I noticed they had applied the 070 number to that paid ad so removed in and also removed my phone number - I am no longer taking new client enquiries by telephone.

Following their post on here and not thinking, I forwarded the email I sent in January which obviously had the previous ad identifying number on it.

They then posted and featured the old ad which had couple of slightly different details on it, the old ad also automatically had the 070 number which was attached to my mobile number..............so I went into modify and tried to alter the information and get rid of firstly the 070 then my own phone number. Each time I tried to change anything it asked me for payment details for the ad. Interestingly the ad had it's photos removed, these had been previous accepted.

So when you looked in my area you got a featured ad with no photo and another ad below in same working name with photos and slightly different details, one had a phone number, one didn't.

Ok some of this mix up was my stupidity not remembering the email from January had the old ad number on it, but if I'd been able to go in and change things a bit it would have been ok. I also thought that VS might notice they now were running 2 ads which were slightly different but guess they were just trying to get an ad up.

I have told them to remove the featured ad, which they now have done.

Partly my own fault for not remembering things had changed since January, but at least it's off now!

Hi Pru,

We have greatly relaxed the rules for photos, I would be happy to take a look at any photos you would like to use and advise if they meet the guidelines. As will anybody else that feels photos have been rejected that meet our rules, please do contact me with your ad id - we can then investigate and speak with the relevant agent. If nobody does get in contact it makes finding and resolving the problem a little harder.

Thank you,
