We have just launched a brand new Escorting directory called Adult Escapes. What makes Adult Escapes unique is that it is completely free to join for service providers and service seekers alike.
Please check us out at [removed. Your feedback is also massively appreciated.
Thank you
-
Being free to join isn't unique but not being able to search the directory without creating account makes the directory almost useless, and I assume unlikely to show up in a Google search?
-
Many thanks for your feedback. The login restrictions has been something we've been debating for a while. We've lifted the restrictions now so that profiles can be viewed without an account and search engines can access all pages.
-
It's not very mobile user friendly
-
It looks nicely professional, but the search function is limited - could you expand to include things like ethnicity and dress size?
Also, where is your income going to come from...?

So is Adultwork ??? To name just one. I haven't ever had to pay to join an escort directory.
-
Can u also add a section for body rubs pls
-
Just had a quick look and was put off when I did a postcode search and West Sussex came up as 5miles from my work flat in Derbyshire
-
Thank you so much for all the feedback. We have addressed the issue with the search when not using full postcodes and the website is much more mobile friendly.
-
Where do you advertise your phone number when create an account?
-
Hi Reni. When you edit your profile [removed - one link only, please], there should be a tab called 'Contact' where you can add a telephone number. Thanks
-
On biography you should have hair lenght, also I cant find where to insert a link to my website or where to add pictures..
Your site looks clean and easy to use, I hope it will get populated :)
-
Hi, thank you very much for your kind feedback. Website is now underneath the telephone number (Account > Edit profile > 'Contact' tab). To add pictures, please go to the account page and click 'Edit pictures' or hover over 'Account' at the top of the website and click 'Edit pictures'. Thank you :)
-
The website spot wasnt there, Im sure :P
I still cant find Edit pics.. I think it should be next to profile/biography/contact if you have the means..
Easier to find :)
-
Must say its good you are really taking our feedback and fixing issues quickly.
-
Now I can see edit pictures :)
And a new feature, rates :)
-
Thanks Reni. We want the website to be completely user friendly so all feedback is very important to us.
Thanks hotblondie, we'll look at moving the 'Edit images' section to the 'Edit profile' page :)
-
I filled in everything, but it says my profile won't be displayed because "town" is a required field, fix this issue.
I tried, but it won't let me ???
-
Hi Siorse, there should be a dropdown now where you can select your town. Thanks for pointing this out.
-
Thanks, it's working now, it wasn't working earlier.. That should be my profile complete :)
-
I'm very very impressed with how you've responded to feedback and fixed the issues so quickly.
I'll definitely have a look to set up a profile later...and this is purely down to how you have responded to the other ladies here.
-
Hi, sorry, I've had problems with this before, it wouldn't let me fill in my town and county, thus not display my profile..
Eventually managed it, but it disappeared again! And it won't let me fill it in again..
Also the breasts natural/enhanced keeps disappearing!
I've send a message to the "contact", and will try again later.. :) Thanks!
-
Hi, we're currently making some big improvements to the website which may have affected certain pages but should be fully functional again now. Your location data has now also been restored.
Thank you very much Curvygal. We value everybody's feedback and cannot thank you all enough for taking time to check out the website :)
-
Yep, sorted so quick, very impressed!! Thanks Adult Escapes :)
-
Hi Adult Escapes, I am also having issues with selecting my county and town.All other drop down menus work apart from them ???
-
Hi Adult Escapes, how do you decide the order in which to show the profiles? Is it random or by last active or last edited?
-
I am trying to register but it won't let me use my established name: kinkydirtybitch, insisting there is already someone registered of that name, which of course, there isn't.
Any ideas?
-
Hope everybody had a good Christmas!
Hi Holly, are you still experiencing this issue? Could you please tell me which county/town you're trying to select?
Hi Reni, there are a number of factors which are used to sort results. The more complete the profile, the higher the profile will display in listings. We'll shortly add a box to the account page which will show you how to improve your listings.
Hi KDB, it appears somebody had registered with that username but it wasn't approved as it contained spam-like content (links to an online pharmacy). They've now been removed so you can go ahead and use that username.
Thank you :)
-
I attempted to register and found I already have a profile under my escort name on your site - which I'm pretty certain I didn't put there as I don't have a note of the login details I used. I have sent you two messages about this over the past few days through the contact form on your site and still haven't had a response. I'm concerned that someone else is pretending to be me through your site - as I'm not sure where the 'Send a Message' link will send any messages your members try to send me.
Due to this I noticed that your site is lacking a 'Forgot password' service, which I would've used if there was one in case I signed up to your site and forgot (though some of the details on the ad are slightly inaccurate so I'm pretty certain I didn't add it).
-

Thanks for that! Duly registered!
Looking forward to the movie functionality being implemented! ;D
-
I have now got control of my account back - it wasn't the fault of Adult Escapes themselves (unlike some disreputable picture stealing directories!) but someone impersonating me who added the profile. I'm impressed by the site, now I can log in!

Hi all,
A long while ago, we posted a link to our website Adult Escapes - http://www.adultescapes.com (http://www.adultescapes.com)
We've been through a lot in that time including a complete redesign. When we first launched we had a lot of very useful feedback from you guys which helped us shape the website going forward. We're aware that there are a lot of directory websites out there but we're very much a community driven website. My partner and I have a long background in graphic and web design and what we really want is to shape the website into a platform easy to use for both escorts and clients.
Again we'd really appreciate any feedback or criticisms you might have and as an incentive, we'd like to offer everybody on this forum an upgraded listing on various days throughout January in exchange for your feedback. (Listings will be exposed to ~100,000 visits a month).
Thank you all.

My criticism is that somebody appears to have lifted three of my copyrighted pictures and a chunk of my text from an old ad and listed it on your site without my knowledge or permission, as well as getting my age, rates and some of my services wrong. I know I didn't do it, not least because when I try the Forgotten Password link my email address isn't found, plus I can remember how old I am.
I've sent a complaint via the contact form on the site, but I'd advise everybody checks. Going on the photos mine looks to have been there a couple of years or so, although there's no phone number or website link which is probably why I had no idea.

You've stolen my profile without permission. A big no no, how can I either get access or have it removed?
-
Hi both,
Sorry to hear the listings on the directory were added without your permission - we ran an incentive about 6 months ago for users to submit content which backfired as in this case, content was duped from elsewhere resulting in unhappy members and us being penalised in search engines. We subsequently ran Copyscape to check which listings were duped and also introduced a verification procedure where we emailed all members and asked them to click a link to verify their details and removed anybody that didn't. However it would seem that this wasn't as effective as thought. We've marked all content submitted during this period for manual verification.
Amy, I have removed your listing. Mirror, please send me the username and I will remove yours also.
Thank you
Rachel
-
No problem.
I'd urge you to crack on with the verifications, since if (as it would appear) the unauthorised listings have been scraped from Adultwork and any of the three main profile pictures have been reproduced the person in the profile has a very real risk of being deleted from the site for breaching their terms of use. For a lot of people, rightly or wrongly, that's their only ad and their only way of earning a living - it's not just a matter of having an annoying fake listing somewhere.

I've emailed you directly asking for a log in, and await your response.

Hi Mirror,
To which address did you send the email, or did you use the contact form? I cannot see anything in my inbox.
Thanks,

I used the contact form. When I used contact forms sometimes they went into junk.

I couldn't find an email address on your website, which is why I used the form. Would you prefer me to email, if so please supply the address.
I've also sent a second contact form.
-
Hi Mirror, still cannot see your emails in inbox ??? Please email admin@adultescapes.com. Thanks

You've responded, so you must have found them.

Ok great. I wasn't sure if that was you as that listing was created around the same time we launched back in 2014 and just after we posted on this very forum (we were reaching about 10 visitors a day back then). Also the email associated for that listing was the same as the address which you emailed from yesterday. This looked like a genuine submission but again, apologies if not.

There is also an active backlink from the website associated with this listing...

It might be useful to know that most Escorts receive umpteen directory emails, many of which are deleted without reading because half the time they're a dead loss.
Might be useful to email around every so often asking the advertiser to log in. In my case I may have done that 2 years ago, it's difficult to keep track.

Hi all,
I just wanted to post an update on our adult directory www.adultseek.com (formerly adultescapes.com). We recently underwent a rebrand based on a lot of the useful feedback we received from yourselves on this forum so you may see that you already have a listing if you registered under the old name. If you wish this to be removed, please let me know and I'll remove all data asap. There were communications sent to all users at the time but we realise they may have been overlooked, junk foldered, etc. We also remove inactive/stale listings frequently to prevent inaccurate and old information being displayed.
We realise the internet is oversaturated with escort directories and adult websites. However many of these are overpriced, not user friendly, and often run by web design companies/corporates. Myself and my partner are escorts and have invested our time in creating a site that really does put service providers first.
Once again, we're really looking for feedback from yourselves as it really helped us make big improvements last time.
Thanks very much,
Rachel
