I think the first thing you have to decide is if you're comfortable with posting your photos. If the answer is yes then it is an economic decision. If you want to generate more dates this is just one of the tools you can use to promote yourself.

I received ANOTHER PM from a member who was concerned because GOOGLE indexes cerb.ca. He says that his significant other has ways to "find" his ALIAS on cerb and thinks we should block the search engines from indexing cerb. Well... if your S/O can figure out your alias on cerb you allowed this to happen - it has NOTHING to do with google or cerb! Basically if this happens you were sloppy! He was obviously doing something he should not have been doing and got caught (Probably a tech savvy S/O) ... and now looking to put the blame on someone or something instead of himself. This happens with the LADIES just as much as the guys. The ladies do something foolish and allow people in their personal life to EASILY find them online working as an escort (and that causes PANIC for many and a headache for me as they want me to delete all traces of them on cerb) - after the fact this is pointless!! Everything that should be indexed by google (and other search engines) is. We block access to the PRIVATE sections (SP ONLY, COUNCIL, ETC...) and we hide your IP address's and Emails on your profiles. The PUBLIC part of the site is indexed and cerb runs a very good SEO system that ensures everything is available and indexed on google and other search engines. Why? This brings us traffic, allows new members to find cerb, allows the ladies to find us and it is a very important part of the site. It also pays the bills! This site is FREE for you all to use but nothing in this world is FREE. Your posts are indexed with the search engines and are considered "Content" and this content on google and other search engines creates links to cerb.ca. In turn our sponsors (All the advertisers here and escorts-canada and other sites we own get traffic from cerb and traffic is money). This is a business after all and it may be a free site for you all to use but the reason this site exists is to generate traffic and feed traffic to the people who pay for this site (The people who make this site free for everyone who uses it). These days if your sites are not listed on google... your nobody and nobody will find you! As of today we have 91700 listings on google alone! This brings THOUSANDS of people to cerb every day! Thousands of people who would not have found cerb without these listings. We can not hide things from google to keep them from your significant others. If you are sneaking around doing something you should not then your on your own to protect yourself. What can you do to keep your identity and actives private? 1) I would suggest you use a username that no one could associate with you. 2) Erase your cookies. history and temporary internet files everytime you are done using the internet 3) Check your computer for stuff like keystroke loggers (as it's common for SO's to use these things if they suspect you of doing things you should not). They act as trojans and quietly sit in the background and log every button you push on your keyboard.... any tech savvy 12 year old kid knows how to do this and you can now buy USB thumb drives that make it possible for ANYONE to do this with very little knowledge of how a computer works. 4) Don't post anything too personal. Ladies this goes for you as well. If you use your PERSONAL cell phone for business it will be INDEXED On google and your friends can GOOGLE your cell number and find your ads. Don't be foolish, invest in a WORK PHONE and keep your private life private! 5) If your name is "Richard Henry John" and you choose a alias here like "R.H.J" or "DickH" or "Rich john" your asking to be identified. This is just silly to do and you would be surprised how many people do this. **** The reason we use Alias's is so that your posts and activities on these sites are anonymous. We hide your IP and Email from public (Keeping your id private). Q: Is cerb really FREE? A: No, Nothing is Free. Q: How can you run CERB for free? A: This site is a BUSINESS and is here to make money. It costs TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars to run this site each year. Someone has to pay for that! You don't pay for using cerb and the handful of banner advertisers help but don't cover the cost of the servers per year let alone my salary! It appears free to you but your posts are content and your visits are traffic. Content = Search engine listings Search engine listings = Traffic Traffic = Money! This site is FREE to use for all of you and in return you are giving us your time, contributions and traffic. Someone has to pay the bills and in this "virtual" world website traffic is what pays the bills. Hard to imagine but that is how it works. The more traffic cerb.ca gets the more traffic it's sponsors receive (Advertisers on the site). This is how we pay for the site. If we made the site inaccessible from google and other search engines we would have no traffic, We would have no content, We would have no members, We would have nothing of value and we would have no computers and bandwidth to run the site. Bottom line we would have no business. I don't work for free (Shocking isn't it) I am PAID to run this website. I have other duties that involved things other then this website but at least 1/2 of my salary is to maintain cerb. The servers that run cerb, the bandwidth, the custom programming, license fee's, the chat room, etc... all cost money (You would be SHOCKED to know those costs!). My point here is that for every 10 visitors we get from google at least 1 of them end up visiting escorts-canada.com (The website that pays the bills for cerb) It's all about the math. Search engine math? Basically 5000 visitors per day is worth 100 grand a year. If you were to PURCHASE traffic from other sites (and that is not easy as a lot of sites DO NOT allow "Adult" related sites to buy advertising) it would cost a MINIMUM of .06 cents per visitor. (5000 X $.06) X 365 days a year = $109'500.00 We send a few thousand visitors to EC per day from cerb so our budget is no where near 100 grand but one day it may be!! So keep posting and spreading the word. Out budget here is based on this. (Traffic sent to EC X RATE .03) X 365 days a year = $BUDGET Notice the RATE is .03 and not .06 - If it was .06 it would be simply smarter to just purchase the traffic. If you can build your own traffic that cost 1/2 of what it would cost you to purchase the same traffic... it's a SMART business decision! (And is why cerb exists today).

Exactly. You can either pander to the picture collector or the client who can't make a move without seeing 6 dozen shots, with updates every 3 months, or the clients who are looking for more. I don't want to see the sort of client who needs frequent picture updates before they finally make a decision to see me. They seem to me to be very high maintenance, and I prefer a client who is easygoing and relaxed, or looking to relax. My advertising started in the papers, one line ads, then again all text with a bit more info. I prefer the clients who look for more than a naked crotch shot to make their decisions, to be a bit graphic. I put 3 pics into my ads, and get calls wanting more, or a face pic, or whatever and I will just blow them off. There is enough info already to invest a little time to knock on my door, someone who asks for more is unlikely to book appts, but they will contact you over and over again asking for more pics. There is a way to compromise. If you only have one picture, then a couple more of tasteful photos will not hurt, especially if your photo is out of date. Once you have 2-3 photos you are happy with, then anyone asking for more is sent to your ad or gallery, those are all there will ever be, and they will just have to be satisfied with that. Front, side, back, what more does anyone need? lol

Never, EVER, give in to any type of pressure. Be who you are cause you are amazing and no photos could ever capture your true nature. You have created an amazing example of branding and unless you want to switch things up cause you feel the need, you don't have to bow to the pressure. Those who find fault are not those you wish to spend time with!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Yes, I have been told I have a sexy voice, but it's when I turn on that innocent charm that it seems to work best.

Yeah I have the one cleavage shot and that works for me. I have an aversion to having alot of pics floating around the net. Do what works for you and dont worry about what anyone other then you thinks. Posted via Mobile Device

Part One: It was Friday February 5th, 2010, I just accumulated some money and decided to use it in a risque way. Had one of those Mobile Sticks from Rogers and was using it on my laptop at the Beer Store I was working at. Nearing Midnight, end of my shift, used CL {as CERB was unbeknownst to me} just to gander at females I can see. Found one, she looked real, saw her number, typed it into my cell and I text her. Great conversation for about 20 minutes, she gave me the address where she was {Hotel} and I made my arrangements to taxi home and taxi to her. I had everything, sweaty palms, shaking hands, butterflies in my stomach, thoughts of {what if I get caught} EVERYTHING!! *Knock, knock* Door opens and low and behold a beautiful, petite, young 20's white lass stands before me in black tights, pink heels and just a sweater on top. In I walk, ask her how she is, she asks how the drive was, we sit down at the table and just as it was natural for me, just slide the donation across the table for her {she counted in front of me} and we continued you chat. Previously in our conversation we discussed what her limitations were. After another 10-15 minutes of chatter we moved to the bed. Now, I was a bit put off when she became one of those gals who just laid there, closed her eyes and focused on not feeling anything. No kissing on the face, so it was the neck that I started and worked my way down for DATY. It was not 3 minutes when she went into fetal position shaking, after her shuddering, she tried to stand and asked me to leave. Gave me half of my donation back, and asking her only once if she was okay, she was biting her bottom lip and replied with a low and dull "yep". For the next 36 hours I was trying to figure out what the @#$% I did wrong. Text her when I returned home to see if she was alright, no reply. Again on Saturday. Part 2: Super Bowl XLIV, February 7th, 2010. Invited out to a Super Bowl party, looking forward to the game, drinks, food and Ping Pong. Was with the Underdogs New Orleans. It was Half Time and was getting some Jalapeno Poppers ready when I received a text, it was her. She said she never expected a client to do that to her. She asked me what I was doing, told her what I was doing.....she was lonely she said. Without a thought, I told her I am on my way. Half Time just ended, I told everyone I had a "work emergency" and off I went. Arrived just at 12:52 on the clock for the 3rd Period, she was wearing one of those blue "Hottie" sweat pant cut offs, pink tank top and hair down to her elbows. She gave me a hug, told me she was sorry, I told her it was okay and said "Let us watch the game." I layed on the bed on my stomach towards the TV and she learned on my right shoulder. Never experienced that moment with ANY Lass in my life, so it was very comforting. The Game ended, New Orleans won against Indianapolis, 31 - 17. We talked for awhile, and knowing she was an SP, I pulled out the donation and said "Shall we start over again??" Shy smile on her face, we took turns in the Restroom, me first, then her. She came out looking radiant.....smelled like Werther's Original Butter Candy treats. {Memories are working} She still turned into a "Play Toy", but as I was about to do my thing she leaned up, pushed me back and said "Let me do what I do." So I did, next 2 hours were fun, mild, but still fun. We laid in the bed together and.....we both passed out, woke up around 10 in the morning ha ha, we had a shower together, HEH that was.....new. Said our Goodbyes and never saw her again. She returned to Ontario I think. That was my First Service Provider.

I like Gena because she has come a long way in the short time she's been an SP and I know she is one of the winners.

I like Tokan...because I have a secret crush on Beaker...lol

I don't mind being on the bottom ;)

Honestly, I've stopped reading reviews. When I first came to the board I did, because I found them a way of sorting one SP's name from another in what felt, at the time, like a profusion of names. I use other criteria now to make an introduction and then decide how to proceed once a "channel" is open. I tend to agree with the posters who regard them in the same way as "locker conversations", although being the nerd at school, I tended to exclude myself from them for reasons of self-preservation! Despite the emphasis on Recommendations here - a feature I do find appealing - they can at best mislead and at worst still be hurtful. CB

I like Katherine because of her warm welcome to me on Cerb and because I really enjoy reading her posts on the forum. Absolutely love her avatar too :shehot:

Although this is late in replying (just wandering through the threads), my take on encounters of gfe is this: I do not like the 1/2 hour times, what can you give in 30 minutes that isn't just the 'wham-bam'? Not much in my book. MSOG, or SSOG, is what I like to be able to achieve, if that's what the guy wants. Some don't, they like the anticipation at the end of a fantastic journey. More hours does not necessarily mean MSOG will happen for the guy, but it certainly is attainable if he wants it. I include a lot in my gfe, but, every sp is different. I am very upfront about what I offer in it, and will take the time to explain what my time for gfe includes, saves a lot of hassle in the long run. Any good sp will be honest and forthcoming with what she offers, there should be no 'surprises' after the client has arrived at the location (or in the case of outcall, when the sp arrives), but all details should have been taken care of beforehand, to ensure a more pleasurable experience. I would never consider telling anyone a donation for gfe then informing them that was only to get me there! And then to add, 'everything else extra is on top', absolutely no way! My donations are clearly defined, and my offerings are well spelled out long beforehand, so that there are no misunderstandings. If someone has a special request after an encounter has started, such as going from a very informal massage for one hour to a 3 hour gfe/PSE encounter, obviously it would be up for discussion, time permitting of course. There are a lot of things to learn in this business, I have been doing this for over 12 years, and yes, made mistakes in the beginning, but I am very clear and thorough when explaining everything to a potential client. I know my regular clients appreciate that fact, as they keep coming back, and I still go over all the details with them like it's brand new. Anyone new in the business should be asking other sp's what's included with certain scenarios, and familiarize themselves with the terms. By all means, set your own guidelines, but don't offer gfe if your not going to perform gfe. That to me is false advertising and makes the guys hesitant to call upon us. Be schooled in what you are portraying.

Begin legit is the proper way of doing things. It is very easy. Just the same as any self employed person. Claim your money as an entertainer. It is best to do it the proper way. In the future if you want to get a house, a new vehicle or open a business, then you can. As you can show where your money came from. There is nothing illegal about companionship.

I use melatonin when crossing time zones and it is amazing. I travel a lot and never get jetlagged.
