Ho much do reviews on Terb affect a sws business. I have sometimes where a new lady is reviewed and shes over run for about a month. I have also seen bad reviews and it doesn't seem to matter. What do you guys think do we have that much clout?
How much influence does Terb have

Depends what your definition of influence means.
Overall impact…. Little to none. A new sucker is born everyday.
Board member impact…. Some.
Serious hobbiers who use the board…. Saves a shit ton of headache.
And then there are the dreamers. The ones who build up an experience in their mind based of pictures on the internet… bad reviews be dammed.
Besides, bad sp’s can get better with experience. Good sp’s can get jaded over time. It’s all a crap shoot.

Much similar to Amazon reviews. If there are a few bad reviews, maybe. If there are a ton of bad review probably. If there are all bad review, good idea to avoid. Same for positive reviews. But then again some SPs learn from reviews and change for the better or worse. Some reviews are totally off-base. Some reviews are bang on.
So on the scale of 1-10 how helpful was this - 1 only because the scale started at 1 -

Due to the lack of data, it's hard to tell. But, name changes suggest that bad reviews have impact. Well reviewed ones seem to be quite busy. I'm out of the "chase" myself preferring a couple of regulars and an occasional dive into massage parlors, but, even then, I check the reviews.
I've had ladies tell me it does. One agency lady 6 years ago, of whom i did a TOFTT (her first review, very positive)- said her bookings went up noticeably. A couple others said similar things that the good review helped. The one or two 'meh' reviews did not stay in touch so i did not know if it helped or hurt her biz.
Many years ago, (2004), there was an East Indian new-to-the-business Escort named Sitara. A guy using the handle kinky_boy_70 wrote a positive review of her with his first post here, and several members immediately branded him as a shill. I don't think he made a second post.
(Well, he's banned, so I guess he made at least one additional post).
I saw her, in part based on his review, and wrote a mostly positive review, and she was very busy for the rest of the six months or so that she spent in The Industry, (she was saving money for school tuition).
Sitara, (her handle was "Sitara TRZ", as she had pics on The Red Zone), also used this board well, replying to reviews, (I think she purged all of her posts when she retired), and attending TERB parties.
I don't think reviews matter much to established Indy Escorts, but they do matter to new Agency ladies. I don't doubt that the Agencies that advertise here read all of the reviews of their new girls, if not the others.
