Random thoughts: What’s on your mind lately? Part 2

Yeah it makes me want to never advertise on it anymore because I'm worried it makes me lose credibility.

I can only speak for myself, but I would not rule out a SP because she also advertises on LL. I do not check LL for providers but also do no not use it to cross-reference. I doubt that many would do.
I think you can almost assess it in a vacuum i.e. do you get enough good clients coming from that page vs. time wasters? Is the revenue generated through LL worth the trouble of advertising there.

Oh the thing with advertising on LL is that it's not a monthly payment like tryst or merb, I only bump my ad once in a while, sometimes I don't bump it for several months. Like I've mentioned in other threads, a lot of clients look at all the ads, including leolist .. and often leolist is used for last minute/same day bookings, shorter bookings etc.

I mention this because I've had clients comment that advertising on LL "tarnishes my reputation" lol.. or that I'm "too classy for LL" (the client who said that found me on it, so it's kinda ironic)

Well, maybe he thinks you are too classy for it, but he isn't.

I use to be a landscaper and I kept my green thumb as a hobby.

I know exactly what you’re talking about

they feel so invasive. Almost like parasites...

It would be naive to believe everything people say on this forum.. It's not a great idea to come to conclusions about people, and about certain things, too fast.
