End of 2012 Q&A with AW Webmaster

[Knobby]

Would it be possable to have the following,

1,When searching for escorts how about a price range search?

2,Make uploading clips and rentals easier so you dont have to keep the site open and "live" while doing so. Even using FTP you have to keep the site open and live so it doesnt time out.

3, when searching for webcam girls have a price range search?


Thanks

Just thought of another,
The amount of girls doing bareback on here is alarming.

Whats adultworks take on all this bareback?
In the adult porn industry people have to be regularly tested,now this isnt the do all end all but at least people get tested.
Most girls on here who offer bareback I wouldnt mind beating dont get tested and nor do the blokes.

Is there any plan to have the featuring pages made available on the mobile site... maybe just for the current/next auction or something? That would be grrrrreat! It's really annoying fiddling around trying to use the main site on a tiny little mobile phone screen if you can't get to your laptop!

EDIT: I know this sounds more like a suggestion... but I already put it in the suggestion box some months ago and I was wondering whether it was "in development" so it is a question, not a suggestion!

When profiles are shut down, can the credits go into escrow for a given amount of time to give the profile owner a chance to verify, but after that be returned to the clients? Even if at 70% so AW still get their 30% (they did, after all, provide the content, so it seems only fair).

There seems to be a lot of chatter around at the moment (more than ever) about how AW is the biggest PG scammer of them all because it closes down scam profiles but keeps the credits.... no doubt making many, many thousands of pounds from them in the process.

AW thrives off it's reputation and this, I think, is very damaging to that reputation.

If people on chat rooms and forums were saying "I paid for a scam profile gallery and AW refunded me!" then that would send out a very positive message.

Or perhaps AW really do make so much bunce from doing this that they don't really want to play it fair?

AW thrives off it's reputation.

But it is almost impossible to find!

Everyone seems to happen across it by accident?

And certainly when you google typical phrases which might be used by someone looking for escorts... AW is no where near the front page for most searches... as was shown by a recent thread on this site where people tried various search phrases often not finding AW in the first ten pages!

The only way you seem to be able to get AW on page one of google is by including the word "adultwork" in your search... which kind of pre-supposes the user having knowledge of the site when they perform the search...

So... is there any SEO work in the offing?

I think they do that in some situations, yes... although I'm not sure that the money is "refunded" to the guys? I think what they are looking out for their is people with multiple accounts trying to move credits from one account to another so that they can cash out... so if you got £300 in tips, no doubt that looked very suspicious to a computer! So for sure the money got confiscated from you... but did it actually go back to the guy?

PG money sits in escrow for 24 hours... presumably during that time a guy can complain and get a refund. But if he doesn't complain and the profile is closed by AW.... where does the money go?

I've heard of girls getting refunded when guys have tried to frig the system. AW seem to have become much better at responding to the girls concerns these days. But it's the other way around which worried me... I've never once heard a guy say that he was refunded? All the PG money from deleted profiles just disappears into a big black hole somewhere as far as I can tell....

We all read that thread on BlackHat about the guy moaning that AW had deleted 400 fake profiles he'd set up and he reckoned he'd lost £16,000 over it... well I imagine that sort of thing happens quite a lot... and what happens to all that money, one wonders?

AW make quite enough out of their legitimate operations, and if the truth be known, they would make a whole lot more if the guys out there felt they could trust them.

It would be good for everyone... the guys would feel that they were safe to spend because if the profile turned out to be a fake they would get 70% refunded, so they would spend more readily which means that genuine girls would earn more and so would AW because they would be getting their 30% cut of the girls increased PG sales. Everyone's happy!

EDIT: ps... I have no vested interest in this... it doesn't matter a damn to me! Other then wanting the site to have a good reputation for acting fairly, because I think that benefits all of us.

Just an fyi.. The girls offering bareback are most likely fake profiles.. Or girls run by pimps. You shouldn't be visiting them either way *shudder*

^ Slightly off topic, but, use Firefox. When you start typing your username it comes up automatically, and when you hit shift your password is autofilled.

Thanks for that, I tried Firefox and no luck, I am a bit of a PC thicky, so any help would be good ?
thanks
