TotallyOz Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 We have a much more detail search feature in this new site than the other one. The features allow you to search by area and also by preference and by reviewer. It is a great new way to find guys you are looking for. Now, I need a suggestion. We have inported all the older profiles over to this site. I need to make rules for showing up in searches for both Escorts and Reviews. After how long with an escort not logging into the site should be inactive his profile? What about Reviews? Do you feel keeping them for long periods of time is important or does showing the details in when they were last reviewed sufficient. We would like to clean up the database and get rid of all escorts who are inactive on the site. Most of my sites will inactivate someone who has not logged in anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. What is your suggestion to appear in searches? flipao 1 Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 I think 1 year is a good length of time. That will give them time in the event they take a time out which happens sometimes. Quote
Guest FourAces Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I politely disagree with EXPAT and BigK. If an escort cannot log in at least once every six months then the profile should be considered inactive and removed. At that point I would remove the reviews as well ... though if the escort shows back up sometime later I would suggest re-activating the reviews. Any escort who is active can handle checking back in every 6 months as noted above. It will also give clients some knowledge of when he was last on the site maybe by a last log in on his profile page. Quote

Funny you mention that. We have the last log in date on profile. We also have the sort feature for profiles and reviews to view those last logged in. If you are a horny guy in NY, you can even show last logged in with the state of NY or even the city of NYC. Quote
Members msclelovr Posted October 18, 2012 Members Posted October 18, 2012 I agree with Expat with an interval of 1 year. I think escorts are often flaky and may not advertise/show availability because they are kept busy with 'regulars'. Twice now, a guy has interested me tho he hadn't logged in for some time. As I was visiting his location, I sent an email asking about availability. In each case, I received a positive response, agreed the details of what I was looking to do and had a good time.

Members BigK Posted October 19, 2012 Members Posted October 19, 2012 I politely disagree with EXPAT and BigK.

My reasoning for a longer log in time is that many Escorts, while emerging entrepreneurs, may still building up their marketing skills. If too many fail to log in because of their lack of organization, the number of available listings could drop precipitously when in fact these escorts may be still available. I assume that this site will notify the escorts a number of times of their pending delisting so if they don't respond it's ultimately their loss. I don't think reviews should be dropped. The reviews are for the benefit of the potential client. Just because an escort may choose not to log on here doesn't mean that they're not still available in the marketplace. Quote
Guest NCBored Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Please forgive my ignorance as how this works but - what is the incentive for escorts to log in repeatedly? I tried to look at the escort ads and realized that the word 'escort' is nowhere to be found on he log or menu that I see. Are new users going to understand 'search profiles'? Quote

Thank you for so much participation with this in the last few days. We always welcome comments and suggestions. I will change the top menu to say: Search Guys I hope this helps to clarify what one is looking for. There is now the ability for people to register as Boytoys, Houseboys, Escorts, Massuers and Clients so we can't put up there: Search Escorts as it is too narrow. But, we will change it to make more sense for users. Thanks. Quote
