What A Good Ad Is Made Of
 

I'm tired of seeing no information, so hopefully somebody will actually read this. I know there has already been one posted, but I wanted to make one a little bit more specific in detail for the serious people of the world.

1. Info about the person posting the add
-Name
-Age
-Location
-Email/IM that you would be like to be contacted (Or say to PM you on here)
-Likes/Dislikes/Limits
-Are you a slave? Or a Master/Mistress?

2. What you are looking for in a Master/Mistress/Slave
-Is Webcam required, a plus, or not needed?
-Offline or online relationship?
-How willing must they be to commit?
-What kind of likes should they have?
-What are you planning to do with them?
-Do you want to treat them like an animal/be treated like one?
-Does time zone matter?
-Do they have to have previous experience? Or are you accepting beginners?
-Are you planning on really meeting with the person?
-Should they have good grammar?
-Is there a specific IM program they must use?
-Do you want them to sign a contract?
-Is there a checklist (Like Chloe's Kink Talk Checklist) that you want them to fill out to see things they like, dislike, and limit, that they didn't list?

3. Slave Specific
-What toys do you have to play with?
-Are you willing to go on webcam?
-Do you have a digital camera to take pictures with?
-Do you want it to be a long relationship or just a few nights?
-Are you looking for just a play master or a serious relationship?
-How much time can you commit to being a slave?
-Can you do offline tasks as well?
-Are you willing to have your Master/Mistress completely control EVERYTHING that you do?

4. Master/Mistress Specific
-What EXACTLY do you plan to do with your slave?
-Is there a certain age criteria?
-Does it have to be a male, female, or does it not matter?
-Is a webcam required of them? What about a digital camera?
-Do you want your slave to have a blog?
-Should your slave have daily tasks? What are some of the ones you might have them do?
-Are you going to be in control of absolutely everything that your slave does? Eating, drinking, using the restroom, ect?

Critic is welcome. End of post.

Note: * before the - means it was edited in.

Thanks. Ooh, I didn't think about using it for replies too. By you are right, they usually are just as crappy.

yeah, this is good. But I've found all the really good informational posts(like this one), tend to get ignored by the majority of the members here. They get read, and ignored.

Good job though.

It may seem that way but you would not believe the stats on the PM system. There is a LOT of PM traffic on getDare. Just because you don't see many public replies does not mean that these posts are not getting a lot of responses. I can't say for sure if these posts are generating PM traffic but I would assume they are. A good post puts you in a better position than a shitty one anyways.

I mean in terms of quality ads and intros... I've tried before, it was part of some of my Fiend's Eye stuff, and those have generated lots of replies... not many good ads. Hopefully this one will be different and actually have some effect, but... my experience tells me it won't.

I think that this should be stickied in the slave master section

I'll second that one... this is the kind of thing that should be read by all posting ads.

Yeah, I saw Smile's thing, this was mostly an add-on to that, if that makes sense

And, Feindish, I figure it will probably get ignored by the people who won't read it, but it was still worth a shot.

Good thread. Pity that for some male doms, no matter how good the ads are, you won't get many replies!

Okay. I think this might have helped. I just hit three good brand new adds in a row, one of which going along with the outline of this exact thing. Maybe it should be stickied.

Good thread I think! :)
