Thanks for this, I'd not thought of trying higher rates on AW. Do you also have your own website linked to on VS, or do you  simply not mention it?

I might have another bash yet, although my website link was there to clarify my location because the VS system couldn't get it right.

Did you mean higher rates THAN AW? I charge less on AW.

I don't have my own website as I found that shit as well. God, I wasted money on that one!

But how do you get your own website to go to the top of a Google search, Mirror?

I found even with paying my webmaster that I never came up in searches unless someone knew my name, which seemed pointless.

SEO is a bit off topic but here you go.

Firstly I google 'Escort my area' and make sure that I am listed on the directories which come up top in the google results.

Second I bunged in some key words at the bottom of each page, and I make sure there's stuff like "outcall Escort my town, this area, this that and the other" on my description page (which I worked out from seeing what comes up in google searches for other ladies placing highly).

Then I submitted to google, doesn't cost anything, there's a form somewhere on their page.

Then I left it and waited.

Having taken my site off a couple of times, I've noticed it takes anything from 1 week to around 6 months to get to the top.

I worked for an SEO a long, long time ago when google wasn't half as good as it is now, and this is mostly all they do.

I tried an SEO myself, seemed to work, but they went bust...........and guess what, my site didn't drop down.

So there you go.

Biggest cost is being on the directories, however Pnet and Plink don't come up high in my area...........others some of which are free, some of which are not, do. I'd rather pay ?50 for a directory which does come up top, than chuck many times that at an SEO which might work, or which might do nothing more than the site would do anyway.

That's SEO in a box.

I currently link to AW and back, and use my AW galleries as a way to have some of my home taken photos, as a sort of PG for my website.................I've seen many ladies set up a website and just leave it, it's not doing anything and I'm not surprised it doesn't list anywhere. On the other hand I know of someone who has left theirs and isn't active, yet theirs rises up!

Patience and half an hour every so often is the key.

Everything appeared just fine until a helpful enquirer pointed out that VS have all their 'email', 'call' and 'text' me buttons right at the top of the mobile app profile, very similar to how AW have theirs but even more prominent(big orange buttons). Access to the profile content is only by scrolling quite a way past these.

That will explain why I've had a few enquiries for places I say I don't visit, and also asking prices etc........

I dislike using text for initial, uninformed enquiries, most of the time it is not compatible with how I do things. I have asked if they can turn it off, but I am doubtful. If they can't I'll be seriously thinking about removing my number, and only using email.

It's definitely annoying that sites do that - they probably think they're doing us a favour. Most advertising wisdom would advocate getting the client in touch with you as immediately and easily as possible. Screening out potential clients by making them jump through hoops is not the usual way of doing things.

Similarly, the ordinary way to deal with calls would be to try and close the deal. "Yes, I'm available this afternoon... would you like to make a booking for two? What shall I wear for you?" Instead, I am likely to hold back and see how sincere they are because that's how you screen out timewasters.

That's possibly because all that's on sale is a ?5000, green 5 year old 1.9 petrol mazda in x-city.

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for the feedback on how the numbers are displayed, I will pass this onto the relevant people to see if this is something we can test on site. All changes we make to the site are based on user feedback and focus groups and of course anything else we can do to make you lives easier please let us know and we can look at testing.

If you would like to attend any of our London (for now) focus groups or pass on any feedback please email me directly. We understand time is money and as well as drinks and nibbles we can offer a ?50 voucher for all participants or a 30 day advertising package on site.

We are also looking to run a northern group, for instance in Manchester but have never had enough interest.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Vini
