Best things about AW:
AW is by far the dominant Escort contact site in the UK - I get more traffic on my AW profile in a day than I do through some other sites in a month or more. And to be honest, that is probably the single most important feature of the site.
On the subject of traffic... A girl doesn't need to create and promote her own web site - I don't have one and don't feel I need one because AW brings me more traffic than I could realistically generate on my own and it also means I am able to post a profile without having any particularly technical skills.
The profile layout and design is simple, clean, clear and uniform, but flexible enough for us girls to stamp our own personalities on our profiles. Guys know where to look for the information they want and so can draw up a short list of girls quickly and easily.
Us girls have options to offer alternative services which compliment our escorting work though a single medium. I only escort, I don't do web cam or phone chat, but I do have a private gallery which is not something I would easily be able to offer without sites like AW.
The feedback/field reporting system is clear and easy to use for both the guys and the girls. Although people complain constantly about fake profiles, I think an experienced user can quickly tell the difference and for many profiles the feedback/FR system can play an important role in that.
Bad things about AW (just for balance):
It is nigh on impossible to get hold of them if you need to. You can message them, but it takes a lot of digging around to find the place to do that and if you are a relatively new user it is a nightmare... and they don't always respond which is even more frustrating. A simple "Contact Us" link at the top of the site (like almost every other professionally run site in the world has) would be a positive step forward, even if the actual method of contact was unchanged.
They will delete your profile at the drop of a hat without any warning or offering any opportunity to rebut a complaint which may have been levelled against you. This happened to me once not long after I joined and in the end I got so frustrated with trying to communicate with them that I just started a new profile.
Which leads me on to - when a profile is deleted, you can just start a new one! Which was great for me (even though it meant I lost all my feedback and FRs) but it means that when a fake profile is deleted, who ever was faking it can just start a new one too! I know that AW do IP matching (which is how we know when a guy is running two or more profiles) so it would be easy enough to query a new Escort profile from an IP on which a profile has just been deleted, surely? The whole issue of fake profiles needs to be handled more professionally, is my view.
And while we are talking about fake profiles - Escort profiles are allowed to remain live for far too long. Sometimes you see profiles where the girl hasn't signed in for months! The site is meant to have a zero tolerance of people offering Escort services but not actually providing them... but it seems pretty obvious that a large number of profiles are either wannabe's or are just trying to drive traffic to private galleries and movies by claiming to offer Escort services. I think this devalues the site as a whole.
Quite a few features do not work for t-girls in the same way as they do for other girls, so searching for one can be difficult. Particularly, they ask us to define whether we are a male t-girl or a female t-girl which affects the search results and seems a rather pointless distinction to me.
They don't really seem to be moving the site forward very much and there is some danger that other sites will come along in the not too distant future to challenge their dominant position.... as much as I like it's plain and clean layout, it is starting to look a bit, well, old?
