Thinking about no longer posting ads here.

Well, I guess that would be a matter of return on investment (ROI). Are you getting any traffic because of eccie? How much time do you put into posting here to receive the traffic you get? Bottom line, is the amount of time invested worth the traffic you receive. Only you can really answer that one.

Why would you change . Of course that is a decision you will make, but what is the down side. Even if you get one or two a month from ECCIE-it costs you nothing. If I were in the biz, I would want to be readily viewable and that would mean multiple sites. After all, it is a marketing business. There is no down side and it is free.

The best to you regardless of your decision.

DeeDee, Shooter is right! ALL visibility is good for you ~ especially free advertising!! I am also only massage, BUT I use this as a tool to bring them (BP clients) into a closer community of people with similar interests. It gives them a place to learn about safety issues, not getting ripped off, etc. BP clients will love & thank you for it! BP will continually bring you the most on your return< BUT this is a great place to refer them! I have had BP clients join eccie the next day & start writing reviews! What a great place to get to .... advertise, chat, vent, LEARN , support from other providers, the list just goes on. I understand your frustration, because everyone here already knows & reads BP regularly. In my book, this makes you more professional than the BP providers that don't participate here.

Wishing you the best of luck!

Just because someone says they see your ad on BP that doesn't mean they don't look at your ads here also.

This situation reminds me of a social where 2 body rub girls were verbally harassed at a very upscale social because they ONLY did handjobs and weren't full service.

The two hotties stopped going to socials after that because of the verbal attack that was not warranted at all.

The police don't care if you do a HJ or CFS, once you touch the dick the ticket is the same.

Utilizing ECCIE, along with other review sites such as ERAPS and Horndogs to post free ads, even if it only brings in 1 or 2 new clients per month might not seem like much but having a presence HERE given all the scrutiny that Backpage gets in the news and in the press might be better in the long run. Cops keep trying to go after girls posting bodyrub ads on BP because here in Texas, unless you hold an actual license to touch a guys body, even without touching the dick, you will STILL get a ticket for Massage without a License. If there is a licensed gal on site and you claim to be working for her, good luck. She best have a training certificate and her place better be a licensed school with an ME number in addition to the school tags and certificates. Any and all of those BP ads attract the police because those posting ads in the Therapeutic section who are NOT doing extras complain and complain often. especially when slow all they have to do is blast off some emails for every girl in that body rub section. Including links to escort review site ads or reviews is icing on the cake for the haters when they send off those emails.

BP costs cash to post ads and who knows when they might start forcing you to provide your RMT numbers before allowing you to post? Here and other sites it is free and they don't care if you have a certificate from the state or not.

I am low-volume, but still post ads here and there. Why not use the resource if it is here?

I would say stay and keep doing youre adds and posts.

I guess I'm just going to have to ignore immature people that don't know when to quit asking unintelligent answers. Originally Posted by deedee72

I know I'll get flamed for this, but I could care less so here it is...

Unfortunately, some gents (here and Backpage I'm sure) view it as a challenge to see how far they can get a massage (or even a FS) lady to go. I'm not quite sure what the thrill is, but then again WALDT.

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with asking a polite question as the temperature in the room rises. But some ass clowns don't know how, or when for that matter, to ask a polite question. Further, many don't seem to understand the word 'No" in response.

I'm surprised you haven't seen that from Backpage clients too, but maybe your ads there are a bit more specific as to do's and don'ts of your sessions.

Only you can be the judge of where to advertise and what impact that decision has on your business.

Dee Dee,

Had you not posted an add on ASPD I would not have ever had the pleasure of meeting you.
