A couple of top contenders for ads that work well with the new BP format
[QUOTE=TomMcAn;3642608]I didn't get out this weekend, but I'm curious if anyone had any success contacting providers who were using the new BP format.[/QUOTE][URL]http://nova.backpage.com/WomenSeekMen/484-324-8601/37278227[/URL]

Both providers use the 1st ad pic to feature a good photo of themselves along with text showing their location and other important info. Since the new format makes a text-based location search pretty much useless, having the location on the first pic is a huge positive.
That way as you browse in gallery mode (as BB suggested) you can not only see if the provider's appearance appeals to you but also if they're in a convenient location. And you can see all that even before clicking on the individual ad to open it. And the inclusion of other relevant info, such as review identification number, personal website, rates, and dates of stay, makes these ads even better as examples of a good adaptation to the new format challenges.
Let's hope other providers will take notice and copy the best practices. And even better if clients help spread the word so the ladies understand what works and what doesn't.
She is on The Other Review site
Googling her phone number shows 5 reviews on TER, 2 from last month. You did google her phone number didn't you?

Has anyone see this lady lately? I contacted her and she gave me her rates and I am curious if anyone still sees her.

The BP search function has already been rendered pretty useless, unfortunately.
[QUOTE=HotNuts;3646624]Putting info in the pictures is good, but now it makes the search useless. Unless they put a name or some identifier in the social media link, it's going to be harder to use the site quickly to see if a frequent visitor is back. We're just stuck using gallery mode for now.
I guess they say beggars can't be choosers; ultimately, BP is what it is.[/QUOTE]Of all the ads currently on BP, maybe 25%-30% are old-style with searchable text. The vast majority follow the new format (ad title = phone number only, main ad = pics only, location = Northern Virginia only, and a required social media link which is often bogus).
The search function still works for the old-style ads but those results become fewer and fewer every day. Plus, a good portion of those ads are for Asian crapshoot places who haven't let their ads expire.
With the new format ads, it seems that providers aren't allowed to enter any text except for the specific items listed above. That means trying to search for a particular location (ex. Springfield) or attribute (ex. GFE or BBW or blonde) is pretty much an exercise in frustration.
So, unless things change, the best adaptation is for providers to put important info (especially location, IMHO) in the very first pic shown in their ad, because that's what clients will see in gallery view. And the best a hobbyist can do is use gallery view and try to spread the word to providers about best practices. And of course all of this makes sharing intel in this forum even more important.
And you're right about being able to use text search for the social media link, but it gets a little tricky. As a test I selected a random ad and then tried to find it with the search function.

Using this ad as a test, search couldn't find it with any part of the phone number but did find it when I used the entire number in the exact format shown in the subject line (area code in parens and followed by a space). Similarly, the ad couldn't be found searching for "paige" or "dwyer" but only turned up when I searched for the entire string (paigedwyer15).
I'm sure most would agree that this supremely sucks but, as you posted, BP is what it is.
Such fretting and handwringing
[QUOTE=JmSuttr;3648237]Good catch. I just did a quick search using "Springfield" and "Woodbridge" and got a few hits on new format ads. So, if providers use their location as part of their social media link entry, that will also be helpful. Not many are doing that now but let's hope the word spreads.[/QUOTE]Changes in backpage, Cl, UG, TER and other forums occur all the time, reading all of the "oh woe is me, what do I do now" posts is like reading neubie musings. Figure it out boys, trial and error. It is actually quite fun and you will uncover more useful info than if you just believe what is handed to you.
And if you get stuck, send me a private message for tips.
Trial and error vs bouncing ideas off other forum members and soliciting feedback

Some of it may be seasonal
[QUOTE=OldBoomer;3648818]There has been a lot of discussion about the new BP format. The providers are getting better at posting information in pics, however, there are issues.
Has anyone noticed that there seems to be a lot more providers? What is up with that?
Most of the newbies are hard to research. In the past a phone number search would turn up an add on another site. A picture search would turn up an add or that the pic was fake. Fewer phone numbers now find another site. The pics seem to be more unique to the add or doctored enough that they do not return on a search. I find this eliminates many of the newbies for me. I will not visit someone on a BP add alone.
Persistances does help. I found a good add history on Raunchy Rochelle by searching her name even though her pics and phone number drew a blank. I tried to book, she called me back after I had found another good find. Also, if you have a provider you like but don't see her, try searching for the exact phone number (not partial). You may have to play around with the format (.[/QUOTE]The Washington, DC metro area is one that tends to clear out on major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Many of us who live here, including yours truly, came from other parts of the country. That may be why more providers are advertising than during Thanksgiving week. They understandably weren't here over Thanksgiving weekend since demand was lower and it's likely many of them will be gone by Christmas.
Seconding TallHazel's report
Red is an almost under-the-radar gem. She only posts when she's in town, and seems to change her number every few months, so remember what you've read here and you'll spot her ad the next time she posts.
Also wondering if anyone has tried the brunette she travels with.
Seniors and contributing non-seniors can backchannel for more info.
A few girls have hacked the BP restrictions on location
They're putting the city name in the social media link. Here's an example, from Lili Malone.
Httpswwwinstagramcom / Centreville. Chantilly. Fairfax. Dulles. Nova. Manassas.
I made the address readable rather than linkable.
Good luck finding a young Asian crapshoot provider
[QUOTE=Onexxxva;3653287]On my tour of fake NOVA Asian ads on BP I've recently tried this one.
[URL]http://nova.backpage.com/WomenSeekMen/dont-miss-out-if-you-like-young-asian-917-660-6355/26974625[/URL]
When I called this one a woman actually answered and offered me Chantilly or Springfield locations. I picked Springfield and was given the address to a local hotel. Per instructions called back when I arrived and was given the room #, as expected a 30 something MILF answered and she had the same red nighty the previous 2 I've tried was wearing (amused me). 120 hh 160 h, Once again nice rack standing up. Gave a quick back massage, CBJ then mish. Pretty much the same routine as previous reports. They all rush you with about 5 minutes to spare, but all have had a great grip and nice attitude. I'm still trying to crossover to the TER providers. Can't get a callback, oh well I'll try another BP agency, maybe I'll get a young one soon, so far I'm 0-3.[/QUOTE]Good luck finding one. Practicing truth in advertising is not a strength of the Asian crapshoot ads.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai?
Question for the group: Which Asian do you prefer? Which has the best talents? Which puts more effort into their work?
I used to prefer Chinese but lately found some Japanese are more talented and better at the work.
What do you think?
WATTA WORLD!
Everything is on the menu
[QUOTE=PorcupinePasta;3661660]Legit as in no extras, legitimate massage? Or her "service" is legit?
If the latter, what extras does she provide?
Thanks.[/QUOTE]Made a visit yesterday. Happened to see a monger leaving at 1:55, my appointment was for 2:00.
Nice apartment in Centreville. Very clean. She does have someone with her. Not sure if male or female, but she said that it was the person who sets up the appointments while she is working.
The massage itself was ok if you want a light touch. If you want something more firm, then you are out of luck. For that reason, I would suggest the 45 minute option. Post massage, she asks what you want. Standard NoVa is included in the price, BBJ is 60. She quotes FS for 120 - I only had an extra 80 and she gave me FS for that "because I am a new customer". I am sure FS for 100 is pretty standard for her. (FS was covered).
She is up from LA and not sure how long she will be in town. Very nice to talk to, and seems interested in cultivating repeat customers.
YMMV, but I left satisfied. I much preferred her to the Clifton farmhouse.
