Anyone advertise on Gumtree? A big problem to me!

I have lost business with ads being banned. For years it was fine but mid last year started to take the money and not put up the ad or removed it. Got loads of clients through massage ad up till then. Guys definitely use massage ad for more than massage happy endings was a regular request. Think I was being reported by the competition as a few times ad went up and then taken down. Use new accounts and different machines and payment card no way they could have known it was me. Gave up in the end.

I've done it with success and used the clich? words such as "open minded" but i took out the "discrete" as I thought looked too obvious & didn't use any pics or anything. I wouldn't suggest it paying money for the ad as the free postings do get responses, in other sections. It's more so men inexperienced about that type of thing as well as TWs on there although some are fine. I haven't actually used it in a long time, things sound like they have changed even so. I would just move onto a different site if I was you though as public as that site is and everything. There are always social networking sites where you can link your website (not facebook) that would get you just as much traffic with less rules if you are avoiding obvious sex worker sites for some reason.

I started on Gumtree, offering massage.  Had to include the disclaimer 'THIS IS NOT A SEXUAL SERVICE'. 

Got plenty of clients but since finding AW, I have not looked back.  AW is a great site for me.  No need to pay fees (as I don't cam, etc) and only use the basic service.  Can add photos of myself and state exactly what services I am offering.  Plus it provides a level of security, with feedback, etc, which Gumtree doesn't.

Thinking back, I took a lot of risks with punters via Gumtree.  Wouldn't recommend.
