Anyone know what the deal is with the Drectory on LL?
There seem to be more than a few advertisers who are no longer active.

When it comes to LL, probably best to contact those ladies that have a current/recent ad up. If you don't see a current or recent ad from a lady you've previously seen, in my opinion it's best to assume they are not taking bookings. Ladies come and go, but from my experience those that are actively seeking clients will keep their ads current.
Yes, but don't the ladies have to pay to be in the directory? Why keep a profile if you've retired, moved, or just taken a few months off?
I have no idea if ladies have to pay to be in the directory. If they did, I would guess it's like an annual fee. If that's the case, it's prepaid for a year, so why delete if they're taking a sabbatical. There's plenty of ladies advertising, focus on those ladies would be my suggestion.
If what you mean by “keeping their ads current” is newly bumped ads, not everyone bothers to bump regularly when they’re getting enough bookings. As long as an ad is still searchable, guys still book. Leolist has gotten quite expensive recently. It’s costing some of us over 4 euros each bump.
And they lost their credit card processors AGAIN. So many ladies who don’t use crypto currency are unable to pay to post or bump ads on leolist right now.
The cheapest way to buy LL bumps without buying 30 at a time is to use AutoPost feature. You program the timing of your ad and buy what you need, even for a day or three.
The CC processor loss is huge, as many advertisers do not trust BitCoin or find it expensive (it is) or too complicated to buy (a journey out to a place with a Bit ATM - cash in hand).
This will impact indies and apartment girls a lot as LL is often the main way new customers find them. No crypto = no ads = no visitors = no money.
I wonder if there is some outside pressure that was put on their credit card payment processors.
We'll find out about the real impact after a week or so, as pre-bought ad bumps get used up.
Either folks will go crypto or be gone. Hopefully the CC payment option will soon be restored.
Yes I’ve seen the drama on Twitter. Many people are livid with her but I personally don’t hold it against her. Im neutral over this. I don’t think she meant any harm. Leolist is good at pissing off their advertisers. Not surprised someone got fed up and went at them. BUT it is horrible that many ladies who use the site to advertise are going to have a much harder time to make money. Being able to advertise on the internet and screen clients is much safer than the street.
There are other options popping up to take the place of leolist. Hopefully they get more traction so it benefits the advertisers who use them.
Leolist has been struggling with their credit card payment issues for a long time. If there wasn’t other issues going on in the shadows with that site, it wouldn’t have been so easy for one person to knock out the cc options.
I can’t help but wonder..especially considering how Leolist rates are suddenly rising rapidly, if the owner knows he only has a finite amount of time with his site before the whole thing collapses. He clearly only cares about the money and he’s been busy trying to milk the advertisers dry. Even if the dust settles and other payment options become available, I wouldn’t put all my advertising eggs into one basket. Especially not the LL basket.
I think when a girl puts her ad in Directory, it doesn't get updated the same way when she updates her ads, I guess the SPs have to also update the directory ad directly or maybe submit it again or something. I say it because many times I've come across the same girl with two posts, with different rates or other mismatching info, or touring girl with directory ad but it's obvious she's no longer in town. One ad in directory and one regular ad, contradicting each other. I think by the same logic, if a SP is no longer working, the directory ad doesn't just disappear, unless she actively deletes it or something.
That might be what's happening. I've also seen an Sp's ad and directory with different names, so the directory seems to be the more unreliable part of advertising.
