Hello Everyone,

I have recently launched new escort directory Shhgar.com

We have added features such as

- Insite bookings that forward directly to your phone via SMS
- Email notification of bookings
- Review system from escorts and clients
- Financial tools to keep track of bookings and money earned

Would love to hear your feedback, good or bad, and look forward to creating a platform that works to the benefit of all of you.

Please check out the link below to see site features, and to sign up

Thank you !

Your website appears aimed at the US market, judging by the front page. How many UK unique hits per month are you getting?

My initial web developer was in the US, we have just re-launched and focusing on growing in the UK. The website hit stats are still in the process of being installed, but 100% of our advertising/marketing efforts to will be in the UK

OK. Without, obviously, revealing your entire strategy, what's your angle? You're competing with AW in the UK which is like a monolith. Do you plan to challenge them directly, or do you have another plan?

Lets hope the plan involves a fair bit of proofreading. I only glanced at the site and spotted at least half a dozen belters in under thirty seconds.

Is client able to leave me a review if I don't confirm his booking? Obviously some reviews are written by competition etc. There is enough problem with that on AW, clients still leave feedbacks if I don't confirm

Unless I'm very much mistaken isn't that Raffaella Fico (Mario Balotelli's ex) on the first page?! (scroll down to see her). She is either very indiscreet or you have used her pics without her consent...

No idea who that is (I'm an old bird) but LOL LOL LOL

Do you think that the default lower age limit in the Search field should be 12? There's something about that that bugs me, although I can't imagine what. I'm sure it'll come to me.

Ah yes, the legal age of consent in the UK is 16 and the minimum age to be paid for sex is 18. That was it .

That was posted by her. I have never posted a fake profile, nor would we ever knowingly approve of that... Also all escort emails that ask for removal of their ads are completed within 1 hour

Will have my developer fix that ASAP. We are still in Beta mode so currently tying up all loose ends. Thanks for your feedback

No, Only clients who have created an account and have had a confirmed booking may leave a review. Also reviews are screened before being posted, and escorts may issue a request to remove inaccurate reviews.

How are the reviews screened and by whom? There's no point any punter writing a review if it can just be dumped because the subject disapproves of it - if only positive reviews are ever allowed to go public your site will have zero credibility and nobody will take any notice of anything posted there?

With all due respect, I think it highly unlikely that she's posting her details on your website. If she is that way inclined (an escort), I imagine she will be on the books of an elite agency. She only 'dates' (loosely worded) very very rich footballers/politicians/Italian Prime ministers (allegedly linked to Cristiano Ronaldo/Silvio Burlesconi as well as being the ex girlfriend and mother of Mario Balotelli's daughter). Unless you are 1,000% certain that she did post those pictures and that they are being used with her consent, I would consider rewording what you wrote above ("that was posted by her") in case her legal team come calling.
