Postings and content is what keeps an area alive , it's like a tumor, it grows from within if there is until it's noticed and big enough to be separated ..... Imho

I understand where you are coming from Skeeter, however, that is not my original argument. For those who are not already familiar with the site layout (or the site in general), it is difficult for them to find the area (Beaumont) in order to post what they want. That means provider ads, reviews, as well as discussion topics. I have spoken with some clients in the past who didn't even know where Beaumont was on the site in order to post a review or find ads. It is just not apparent to the outside world, in many cases, that Beaumont falls under "North and East Texas". In the mainstream world, anyone looking for something between Beaumont - Port Arthur - Orange (The Golden Triangle) associates this with "Southeast Texas", not north or even east. We are not concerned with what is going on in Denton or even Tyler.
Lets use the following search example to clarify what I mean. If a potential hobbyist is looking for "Beaumont Independent Escorts" and inputs said criteria into Google, ECCIE does not come up anywhere in the first several pages of the search results, however, if someone did a similar search using "Houston Independent Escorts", ECCIE comes up on the first page.
There is not a lack of services and hobbyists in this area, it is just over-looked here. Backpage, however, understands this, hence being #1 in all similar escort related searches. It is unfortunate that a valuable resource site such as ECCIE, fails to "get it". With the proper structuring and SEO, ECCIE could well rank as high as BP and draw in the traffic that they are losing to other advertising mediums. I advertise here, as well as backpage, and I will let everyone know that Backpage blows ECCIE out of the water as far as generating traffic to my website on any given day. Plain and simple.
Southeast Texas
