Why Not Adult Dating Includes Escorts?

Would it be illegal for them to include escort listings? If so then how do escort guides get away with it and then how comes adult dating sites dont allow escorts to buy top placements in the listings? They can be distinguished from the other members so that there is no ambiguity.

Quite a few of the female members in adult dating are escorts anyway but dont provide much revenue for the company. The audience is captive and looking for exactly their product and the geo ip technology is perfect for the delivery local service providers.

The adult dating site can then become a kind of ebay for adult services as well as people looking for a free hump. This way they generate more cash from a lot of their existing female members and there is a new income stream from males.

If the site brokers the business deal, acting as a kind of escrow; even at 10% thats an additional and possibly huge ongoing income stream and another way for webmasters to earn and even monetise escort traffic.

It also protects the industry from dollar weakness because local escort rates are likely to rise in dollar terms as the currency falls over the longer term.

Can you imagine how much additional revenue it could generate for the adult dating companies with the largest DBs? They would be leveraging a global industry that is probably many times the size of the adult dating industry, in the escort industry from the client side and from the escort side.

Once those escort listings reached a critical mass, it could treble their income overnight and gradually put escort guides out of business. Affiliates would be driving sales like never before.

The key thing would be to distinguish the escorts from all other users, educate users and set a reasonably high price point for escorts to advertise. I guess thats something the market can dictate and it would help convert all users but especially:

(a) A lot of female users.

(b) Previously paying users who no longer pay.

(c) International traffic.

Say youre a member, and youre going to Brazil on business and you dont have time for a sex relationship but you want a guaranteed high quality screw. You would probably check out the site not only to check your interests/mail but also because now its a global one stop shop for humping around the world.

It has to be carefully thought through so as not to negatively impact the core adult dating business but overall you are increasing loyalty, usage & commerce on the site.

people looking for dating are not looking for escorts and people that want escorts are looking for sex not a date.

I agree..its about knowing your customer.

Some of my friends both male and female are dating site members and if the sites contained escort ads etc they would drop them like a hot potatoe.

Most dating site members are looking for discreet hook ups /dates etc and dont want to be part of any escort/hooker or crowded adult services bureau.

Mann Act

There is a fine line between "escorts" and "prostitutes."

The USA Mann Act in its broadest interpretation prohibits the crossing of state lines for purposes of prostitution. Whether some such charge might hold up in US Federal Court is a long stretch but then who wants the possible legal exposure to problems?

escort websites are a grey area and get prosecuted on occasion:

no dating site is going to risk it i think.

You may say that but the fact is that escort sites promote adult dating and adult dating converts extremely well on escort traffic. The two are interwoven to some degree and for conversions, it would be a match made in heaven.

I think. Its two different types of consumers which will alienate one of them.

Visitors to escort sites are looking for paid sex or companionship so adding dating sites into the mix is like offering a free alternative to them hence the success....but the other way is a totally different thing.

i believe this might be illegal in canada, but that might only have to do with an actual paid sexual encounter
