We stopped escorts going into "NEW & BACK" (which meant appearing on front page and area index pages every time they move location) at the request of numerous escorts. Many escorts complained to us that other escorts were repeatedly changing their location in order to go back into "NEW & BACK" and this was unfair and we shouldn't put escorts back into "NEW & BACK" every time they move location, only at the beginning of each tour or monthly advert they start.
We made these changes and ideally, everyone would now be happy. However things are not perfect, because many escorts now feel they should go into "NEW & BACK" every time they change location and would like the system changed back to how it was. There is also the issue of some escorts paying a daily rate every day to get into "NEW & BACK", which was an unintended development for us and we need to look at.
Now we have some unhappy ladies and we are looking into changing the system a second time, and hopefully getting the changes right this time, so hopefully those ladies who are unhappy presently will be happy. To be honest, I'm more inclined to focus on getting this done than debating it, which is why this will be my only post on this thread I think.
From the clients point of view, I fully understand that you want to see ladies that are genuinely new or back in "NEW & BACK". That's common sense and I get it. The situation now is not actually worse than it was before this change for clients I feel. Before ladies who repeatedly changed location purely to go in "NEW & BACK" messed with this and now it's ladies paying a daily rate doing so. What we need to do is just get it right. It's not true that ladies are not going into "NEW & BACK" unless they pay the daily rate. All ladies paying any rate go into "NEW & BACK" at the beginning of their tour or monthly advert, they just don't go in there every single time they move location now, it is only when they start a new advert.
What page an escort's advert appears on in Dublin and other large areas where there are multiple pages of adverts is completely random (randomised once a day). It is not in any sort of order as to when they arrived in Dublin and no preference is given to any escorts paying daily rate. It is and has been for many years completely random. These reason it is randomised once per day rather than more often is it would be confusing for clients would it not is escort adverts were moving from page to page as you browsed the pages?
Yes I think it would be better to have a premium section for advertisers who are paying more if we were going to go that way. As it is we have no plans to, and I'd like to fix this issue, not talk about possible new developments.
At the moment one of the ideas we are discussing is putting the "New & Back" system back how it was before but with an auto-limit as to how many times per set period of time an escort can go into it, to stop the changing location abuse so many escorts were complaining about whilst giving the escorts who don't like the new way something that would make them happier hopefully. We are trying to do a good job here and give escorts and clients what they want.
Thank you for hearing me out.
