Guest Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Although I realize a great many men like to find a provider they click with and the stick with her, there are also some of us that like variety. I've been checking ads here on Lyla often, and today, for instance there are 7 ads for escorts in my area, and 10 for massage (5 from spas). Many of these ladies advertise here most days. Every one of them are well respected and well reviewed, so you know you will get a quality encounter...there just aren't many options. In contrast, other ad listing places may have 100's of ads, but also more fake pics, fewer reviews, etc....more risky. I guess I'm wondering why more ladies aren't using Lyla. It's a great site.

TorontoMelanieJolliet 4458 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Try to google your fav ladies that are here. Check the results. How many of them direct to lyla? Lyla is not on twitter that I can find, not on switter (prolly doesn't want to be associated with switter, that association is more complicated). Does it come up when searching for companions on google? Plus their biggest audience is Ottawa. There are many more places than Ottawa. Basically ladies haven't heard of it. Some have wandered here, only to try and make it work. But when they don't any response to their ads here, then they realize that time is spent better on things that get responses. Clients have to let ladies know where they found them. It reinforces that their ads and exposure have been effective. Not effective? Not worth the effort. Also sometimes just a small investment in time can pay off for a long time and extra time investment is not necessary. If you value this forum so much maybe you should find a way to make it relevant. The ladies are too busy minding themselves ;) 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MontyChrista7 Report post Posted June 6, 2018 Hello, I have linked lyla to my website. Now that bp and cl are gone the regular joe doesnt know where to go. I figured they would start looking on kijiji next. Nobody unless they are a board member of this one or the other ones know about leolist. So i spent quite a few dollars on top ads space on kijiji and linked lyla so they could find a place to go that is industry related. I think lyla is a much better board than the other one only because people are a lot more mature here and do not make dual/triple accounts to cause drama and or troll. I will gladly spend money on advertising here to support the site and be part of a great community. In a very short time i believe this board will get a lot more busier. I for one am glad lyla is here and am doing my part to promote it to bring in those joe smiths who got lost at sea so to speak when cl and bp shut down.

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted June 7, 2018 Quite a lot of providers don't seem to know about Lyla. We also make an effort to get rid of the fakes and the scammers, which is a deterrent for some of the people posting ads on the successors to BP. Having said that, there do seem to be quite a few new arrivals since BP shut down... hopefully they'll stay! Another factor is that Lyla is fairly Ottawa-centric, with a good bit of East Coast activity... but other cities and regions are more strongly represented on other boards and so providers may choose to advertise there. Finally: there are quite a few well-established providers who are members here and simply don't advertise much; they may post an ad now and again, but don't do so regularly. That probably means they have sufficient business from other sources. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmine Rain 23126 Report post Posted June 8, 2018 I agree with a lot that is said. I will be checking my site as I don't know what links I have anymore. I am also not excepting new clients so I don't advertise anywhere. I think Lyla would have a better go of it if they targeted some more Toronto and west coast members. A little revamping, a twitter account. Change takes a bit of time. There were some major changes when c36 was playing out. Now with BP and CL gone, some more changes will be happening. It is just a matter of time. However great point about links back to Lyla. I will be changing my site soon. I will probably be closing it off actually but I will be sure to post links to Lyla. I don't know why I didn't make sure I had this before. Absent minded I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malika Fantasy 144625 Report post Posted June 11, 2018 I do agreed, I use to advertise a lot more on here even if I am in Toronto base now, when Im in ottawa I can still post each days but compare to a few years ago the amount of hits on my websites are quite low. Twitter is where its at mostly lately. I do think it would be a good idea for lyla to have an account and interacts with providers. Also Ottawa has had a massive problems with no show in the past 18 months and its pushing people away to tour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted June 12, 2018 Also Ottawa has had a massive problems with no show in the past 18 months and its pushing people away to tour Is that new? I remember hearing touring providers talk about that years ago, and saying they were avoiding Ottawa simply because the no-shows and last-minute cancellations meant that they often made a loss on the visit. It's sad, in any case. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmine Rain 23126 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Very much an issue still. Naomi Nixon I believe just canceled two weeks ago stating heavy cancelations from guys. A few others still report it happening. It is sad. Ottawa is a wonderful city and the clients you do end up actually seeing are a good bunch of guys. Just getting them in the actual door seems a bit more difficult then most other cities. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildone1977 1003 Report post Posted June 14, 2018 Would there be that many guys just bailing last min? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasmine Rain 23126 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 Some cancel the day before. Usually the morning the provider is due to leave. Most of us confirm before actually leaving and then the day of the appt as well. This usually ensures no money is wasted on a hotel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsManda 25697 Report post Posted June 15, 2018 Would there be that many guys just bailing last min? My personal favorite is getting off of my flight, excited to be visiting your city, only to find snowballing cancellations of my entire trip.. And thats when folks are kind enough to cancel, rather than have you reserve their time, thus declining valid clients because of the booking(s), get pretty, and wait for the confirmation that never arrives It happens all over, and more than I think we admit 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katherine of Halifax 113932 Report post Posted June 16, 2018 I do not understand why people do this. I think all of the SP.s should get a cancellation fee for the service that they provide if the person commits to a time and then declines they should pay a cancellation fee out of respect it is the proper thing to do. I enjoy every minute of time with these wonderful ladies and if I ever had to cancel I would never say no to a cancellation fee they are there for you so treat them the way you wish to be treated. Thank you , I'm sure asking you would make me way behind. Unfortunately not all "gentlemen" are as kind as you . Many thanks for your support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happydog 1004 Report post Posted July 8, 2018 I found the site since it has a lot of east coast listings that are not on other boards. Now that the new swoop air line has discount flights to the Atlantic will be visiting on business more often. I will try to spread the word. Also you could put lyla on the side of the plane or wings. Offer multi hour rates to the pilots. Soon you will hear this is your captain speaking we are now touching down in Halifax....and I soon will be going down on a lyla lady.

Toronto has its own board and various sites and tbh, if you're busy and flourishing, whether within SW or just generally, that doesn't leave a lot of time to spend reading or posting on sites like Lyla, especially if they aren't bringing you business to begin with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlotte Edwards 8590 Report post Posted July 23, 2018 I do like Ottawa, but the same sentiments, I've had a lot of guys bail or be rude about rates so many of us Toronto providers either don't come very often or stopped coming altogether. If you're a fan support the touring providers and keep your appointments 🙂 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not about quantity, but quality. It always take time to build a reputation. Better build it up slowly and maintain a good standard, than being overwhelmed with newcomers with unknown or questionable character and motivations. The mods have done a good job by answering complaints and closing questionable accounts. If you're looking for something you can't find here, just ask. More than often, someone will always have an answer or point you in the right direction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted July 25, 2018 Lyla became known as an Ottawa board because Toronto, Montreal and cities out west all had their own designated sites. I suspect this is why the Ottawa scene is more active here. Re: Cancellations in Ottawa. This has been going on for as long as I can remember. It’s unfortunate that this is happening because Ottawa does have some great clients. I se a lot of U.S. ladies requesting deposits and.a lot in Canada as well. If this is what t takes to secure appts, I don’t blame them. I also think it would be a great idea if Lyla had a Twitter account. Other boards have them and write short messages to put themselves out there. Social media is critical to drive traffic to one’s site nowadays. My 2 cents... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crimson Angel 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2018 Lyla should be more popular. An escorting site where SP's and clients alike can contribute to their input is very important, since the other escort forum boards you see they're primarily monopolized by clients.

Ice4fun 78407 Report post Posted November 9, 2018 When I joined Lyla (CERB at the time) it was hard to actually stay current with all the discussions and there were way more people online everyday. At that time there seemed to a higher degree of interaction with ladies which was great. I totally understand that for the ladies this is a business and they need to put their time and energies where it pay the best return for them and let's face it twitter and other social media have moved people away from all kinds of discussion sites. Whenever I meet with someone who is not on Lyla I always tell them about the site but let's face it if they come here and it does not result in business then it's not gonna stick. I wonder if we would be wise to actually open the site up for other discussion opportunities like swinging opportunities etc. The legislation change a few years ago changed the discussions an a lot of people left here.... I hope as some people have said they are starting to return. Just my opinion 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
