Posted May 21, 2014 So I was doing some research on something else and all of the sudden this pop up! Denver escort news! I never saw this site before and just wondering if anyone else has?? http://escorts-denver-news.blogspot.com/2014/04/top-escorts-of-denver.html I have seen may other sites but first time I have seen this one! Anyway - this is just a human interest perspective - so no need to elaborate on this - just thought it was interesting in case no one has seen this before or maybe it was brought up! Anyway - thought it was interesting that it talked about BBBJ and CIM has the main topics! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2014 OK - I read further and saw it was somewhat of an advertisement and plug for TER (The Erotic Review). Just thought it was an interesting take on something new! Anyway - Thoughts - observations etc ! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 If you go back further, looks like TER is running these blogs under Escort News Network as a further advertisement for their board. Has many blogs for escorts and BBBJ, probably in places where they are not the primary board, such as Denver. But all the "reviews" link back into TER. So, do you ladies like having your photos and excerpts from your reviews posted on a public blog? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a big TER user so I am not sure what the stipulations are for things like this on that site, maybe as a provider you agree to it but I don't like it. It's one more site with my image and info. Advertising is great but having control over it is even better. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 (edited) If you go back further, looks like TER is running these blogs under Escort News Network as a further advertisement for their board. Has many blogs for escorts and BBBJ, probably in places where they are not the primary board, such as Denver. But all the "reviews" link back into TER. So, do you ladies like having your photos and excerpts from your reviews posted on a public blog? Hi century2ride and DoubleOaked, I noticed this thread bc the link you shared generated a bunch of traffic to the blog I help run, which is the one you were wondering about :-) So I decided to join the forum so I could help satisfy your curiosity. Thank you first of all for your curiosity :-) I can help address your interest and ideas.... 1) You are correct, I run a bunch of blogs about escorts in various cities. Actually it's me and a few teammates. Our first blogs were focused on NYC and Toronto, and we gradually added new blogs about additional cities. 2) The original concept behind the blogs was, and still is, an experiment in micro-journalism / local journalism. We are hobbyists like you, and felt that there wasn't much in the way of "news coverage" about the escort scene on a local level (not even mediocre news or simple aggregation of info). Probably the closest thing there IS to that are forums like this :-) So our idea was to be a source of more information than readers would get from just the agencies or escorts themselves. 3) Since the Denver Blog is so new, it's not really very mature yet in the sense that it doesn't have very many in depth profiles. This is because it's one of our newest blogs, and bc we don't have as many independent sources in Denver as we would like. 4) [advertising - snip] Other times, readers like our sites bc we breaking news they can use, for example we help readers tofind the girl the liked when she leaves an agency, changes agencies, etc. It's the same kinda thing where the agencies are not going to tell you where to find your favorite girls when they leave....but we do that for our readers :-) [advertising - snip] 5) About TER: So at this point you realize that TER isn't running these blogs, it's just us guys trying to do a little citizen journalism in our mediocre way. However, we do link to TER profiles and sometimes we excerpt small bits of reviews. We do this bc in most of our citiies, TER reviews are a good initial source of info for us, and contact info for our readers. And full disclosure, if people visit TER via our links, and decide to sign up, we get a (very small) "affiliate commission" through their "affiliate program." We aren't doing this for money, which is a good thing bc the commissions from TER are tiny and we earn less than 50 cents per hour of work, but we use the TER checks to buy beer for the team once a month. So anyways, I hope this was a mildly interesting follow up to your Qs and Ideas. If you have ideas to make the blog better, we would be happy to hear from you. Enjoy the weather out there!

HI Luce kytten, I run the blog and posted a longer reply, but wanted you to know that we try to be sensitive to any provider who doesn't want to be profiled. To date only one provider has asked us to remove a story about her, and of course we did so right away. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 22, 2014 So I was doing some research on something else and all of the sudden this pop up! Denver escort news! It seems very into BBBJ, which is nice in that it tells you which TER-reviewed providers offer this. You normally can't see that info without getting a TER membership (or of course reading the reviews here). Assuming this info is accurate, that provides a modicum of value to the client. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 23, 2014 EscortNewsNet - Thanks for the replies and input into how this came to be! Nice job by the way and thought it was interesting since I just found it by accident and wasn't sure where it came from and how. So your insight is great! So do you have links on the blog for other cities - sorry - I was typing this out and hadn't taken a look yer?. Some of the ladies on the Blog I had reviewed on TER and there also is the TOB and ECCIE review sections on their sites. In the past, I have reviewed ladies on all three sites since it drives different traffic in various ways and creates more exposure for them. But each review site had their own criteria and I end up doing more research than one might expect - just because I have been burnt a couple time. But more my fault and not doing homework. I always find it interesting when a guy complains but then you look at where he went and how he rolled the dice and had a bad time - more his fault in my book. When I first started to hobby - I started with TER and didn't know about TOB or ECCIE and I traveled a lot so that worked for me. But now I double check all three sites at times. So back to your focus on the blog, I get the BBBJ (UTF) but some ladies do only TF and I have to admit some of the TF you would not know the difference and I don't mind going that route if the time is well spent. So I wonder about the focus and criteria in that area, especially if a gent may want the best TF. And then there are other criteria - like the difference between great GFE and just OK GFE but as always YMMV. Anyway - nice job on your efforts! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2014 Hi century2ride, Thanks for your reply to my reply. I'll send another reply with more thoughts later, but wanted to respond to your inquiry about links to some of the more interesting articles we've done in other cities...actually I had included links to several in my original reply, but the moderator removed them and replaced it with "[advertising - snip]" -- in retrospect I realize that makes sense, bc including those links is technically against the rules of the forum. Anyways, if you like I can PM you some the links. Thanks for the thoughtful reply! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 23, 2014 Hi century2ride, Commenting on your question about whether we cover excellence in TF (CBJ) providers too. Yes, we do, bc as you point out there are incredible providers who don't offer BBBJ / UTF, and also some hobbyists prefer great CBJ as a matter of preference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
