My view is any business can not mimic to fine detail to get the same return as a high rated site. One said to me they want to be as big as adult work. It looks unlikely for that to happen sorry but. My point is no one knows what attracts booming business from these well established sites. Unless you are part of the input of creation.

All viva can do is to be the best with their development idea's. It is just like for example escort 1 mimics well tries to escort 2. Expecting the same return. Nothing is guaranteed. We just do the best in our unique way. This is my example.

I agree that sites that try to mimic AW fall flat - seen plenty of those.

What Viva Street has going for it is that it's similar to Gumtree or Craigslist and already gets traffic as a web site. So, it comes up pretty high in Google searches. It does definitely make my phone ring. So, unlike other wannabes who have to start from nothing and somehow get people to take it seriously, Viva Street has plenty of web traffic to begin with. Improving the escort part of the site to provide what AW does in terms of searchability and value for money is definitely within their reach.

Good morning ladies,

I am pretty new in sharing my opinion , but not new to escorting as well as to this forum.
Myself I prefer Viva than aw. Just getting more jobs from viva! Most of calls, even texts are genuine, yes here I get lots of short notice bookings and most times I do not do them, despite I am in the right mood , and make up.. :))
And I like new profile options, it is more clear, now they can clearly see prices / services and that really helps to attract right clients:)
I had some problems with my advert before and customer service was always helpful.
Yes, advertisement itself here is expensive enough , but for me it works. Sometimes I add paid features, sometimes not , but still doing well with or without them .

It is just my opinion, for different ladies different things work xx

Just a note for anyone following this thread...I forwarded the emails as requested but have to date had no response..... >:(

Hi Curvy Gal,

Sorry but I havent received your emails and I myself look after the es inbox. Can you please DM me your email address via Saafe and then I can send you an email to reply to and hopefully we can get all this resolved.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

They have sent at my end and are in my sent folder timed and dated so you may wish to check your spam folder.  I will PM you my email address, but I'm not holding out much hope as I don't have much faith in you at the moment.

If you do resolve this for me I will of course add comments to that effect to this thread.

CG

Still haven't got this resolved.....

Hi Curvy Gal,

I am not sure why we have problems communicating over email, I can assure you I did reply (will resend again now). I think its best we deal over the phone going forward, so we can get this resolved for you? Can you DM me your phone number and we can give you a call today at some point.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

Hey, Finny! I spoke to Kate on the phone yesterday about advertising and she told me that you are now requiring adverts to state if they are agency or independent. Well, I just had a look on there and saw that pretty much every advert is designated "independent."  I started looking more closely and I saw several that are clearly agencies designated at "independent."

Hi Fabulassie,

Thanks for the feedback, we just launched a few new features last week and wanted to ensure all was working well before doing a full communication. We intend to send out a newsletter on Sunday advising that we now offer:-

Indie / agency filters
Pricing fields
Services tick box with items like OWO

On your agency point, we will ask all agencies to update their ads and give them a few weeks grace and then we will look to do this via our moderation team for any that have not yet managed to update. As with any new filters it takes some tome for people to update and start to use, but hopefully these items will help further in the escort category.

Thank you,

The Vivastreet Team - Finny

I had a feeling it was something like that!

I do like the new tick boxes for prices! I think Kate said something about there being a new tick box list of services offered - whether it's already there or happening soon, I'm not sure.

Yes indeed those tick boxes are live on the site, so you can moderate your ad and add them so they are displayed on your profile. Once we are happy with all the new features and that most ads have added them, we will also make some new search filters for the punters to use.

Thank you,

Do users who contact us have to be registered with Vivastreet? I've received quite a few emails lately which seem genuine but when I reply I get a delivery failure email in return. Obviously not Vivastreet's problem, but if they were registered in the first place then they would have to use a valid email etc.
We're women, it's what we do. I just get paid for it.

Hi Red KB,

Yes correct users do not need to be registered to send an email, we are working on some options later in the year that should allow you to not display an email or potentially only accept emails from registered accounts - that have the email address verified.

Once we are live we will let you know.

Thank you,

I actually sent myself a test message via my advert on the site. It's been an hour and it's still not come through! I received a message to the email address I used when I sent the message saying that it had been successfully sent. Nothing is in my junk/spam folders. Vivastreet messages do come to my regular inbox but now I'm questioning how long it's taking from a sender posting the message to it actually being received, not very helpful if someone is looking for a booking quite soon.

We're women, it's what we do. I just get paid for it.

The moderators also keep removing my website address from my advert despite the email stating the rules saying this, "Website URL?s are allowed in the description, as long as it is your own site and Does not contain any disturbing content. (Please be aware that no Hyperlinks are allowed)." I have written the link in text with no hyperlink and there is not even any nudity on my site.

Getting very frustrated!

Hi Red KB,

Sometimes certain keywords are flagged in messages, which means they are sent to a moderator to review (to cut down on spam) - this could be the reason. I can check for you in the morning with the CS team.

On the URL front please email me at es@ with your ad id and url and I will check to see why this is being removed and feedback tomorrow apologies.

Thank you,

the Vivastreet Team

Hi,

I think it would be far better if messages didn't go through moderators and we were able to receive them immediately. A delay of hours could be damaging to our business. I'm quite capable of weeding out spam messages myself!

I will email you the ad and url now. It has been approved and disapproved when my ad has previously been modified so I can only think that different moderators are reviewing ads and not fully understanding what a non hyperlinked url is.

We're women, it's what we do. I just get paid for it.
