Dominant Mistress - A common fantasy amongst both men and women
The desire to be dominated by a beautiful dominatrix is a common fantasy amongst both men and lesbian or bisexual women. The feeling of surrendering control can be quite liberating and extremely exciting. It is a myth that submissives are generally door-mat types, indeed, submissives are often in extremely high pressure jobs or in positions of relative power and are used to, in their everyday lives, making decisions and being the dominant one. For some, to escape this, just for a few hours is enough to return them to equilibrium.
Bondage and Domination are often referred to as BDSM or D&S and loosely translate into a desire to either dominate and control or to be dominated and controlled. There are varying levels of BDSM 'play' and whilst sexual in nature, sex is rarely the overall objective. BDSM or D&S play involve many elements, commonly including; verbal abuse, humiliation, bondage, control, spanking, whipping, caning and so on.
Indeed sometimes physical contact is not even necessary (or it can be purposely withheld as a way of controlling the submissive or as punishment) and whilst BDSM is possible in many guises (i.e via webcams, instant messaging, over the telephone etc) the most fulfilling service is one where submissive and dominant are face to face, or should that be face to foot?
For some, they get a kick out of verbal or more subtle control mechanisms. Training is often involved to condition the submissive (or 'bottom) into behaving or responding a certain way based on a command or action from the dominant. In other cases it can be much more physical and intense. For submissives who are also masochists, then this may take the form of an intense flogging whilst restrained; often difficult to comprehend as pleasurable to 'Vanilla' folk, for a masochistic submissive a flogging can cause intense feelings of pleasure leading to the universally recognized spiritual state often referred to as 'Sub Space'.
Where physical restraint and extreme sensation play are concerned it is vitally important that the dominant is completely trustworthy, adheres to the 'safe, sane and consensual' concept and is skilled and experienced in what they are doing. For a submissive it is no fun when an inexperienced dominant or 'top' plays with them and for example goes too fast too soon, causing real pain instead of the more sensual pleasure-pain sought. A skilled dominant Mistress will never push you physically or mentally further than you are willing to go; working with you to increase your sexual and indeed spiritual satisfaction.
How to find a Dominant Mistress
Finding a dominant mistress can be tough, especially if you are new to the scene, have not played before (and therefore are unsure as to exactly what you want) or if you don't know where to look. Mistress Dion has been a professional dominatrix for many years and is a truly skilled and sensual Dominant Mistress. Whoever is under her control, she will always be listening to you as well as checking on your well being. Mistress Dion adores intense sessions but understands that there is no real intensity without trust or communication.
If you displease Mistress Dion then her mood & demeanor can change at the blink of an eye. However, if you please her, you will be well rewarded. She caters for novices, right up to the more experienced extreme players among you. If you are new to the scene, be sure that you are in safe hands and that your limits will be very well respected. However, Mistress Dion encourages on subsequent sessions, the pushing of those limits. Without question you will have the use of an agreed safe word. If you are experienced player of the BDSM scene, you will already know that it is quite a journey. Mistress Dion will therefore push you to find out more about yourself and take you even further along that dark distant passage.
Mistress Dion is based in Maidstone Kent and has her own fully equipped dungeon. You can find out more and contact her here http://www.mistressdion.co.uk

Successful SEO on an Adult Website, Number 1 in Google
The website I designed was for Mistress Dion, a professional female dominatrix in the UK. After looking at a large number of competitor websites I came up with a number of homepage visuals that the client then chose from.
Once the design was chosen and finalised, I then set about creating what is essentially, just a basic HTML website, with only a little javascript and some encrypted button links through to Pay Pal. The entire site consists of 10 pages and promotes specialist services as a female dominatrix.
Super Fast & Impressive Google Indexing
The site has been live for just under 1 month and already the site has been picked up and ranked by Google. I did you Google sitemaps and Google base pretty early on, so I can only speculate that this has helped achieve such a quick ranking (page rank remains unassigned and past experience has shown this can take anywhere from 3-6 months to appear).
It would stand to reason then, that someone looking for these sort of services might use the following keyphrases:
professional female dominatrix and female dominatrix kent and the entire site has been optimised towards these keyphrases and typing them into Google (as at 25/09/07) gives the following results;
Google International
professional female dominatrix Page 1, Ranked 4 out of 477,000
female dominatrix kent Page 1, Ranked 4 out of 209,000
Google UK
professional female dominatrix Page 1, Ranked 1 in out of 14,200
female dominatrix kent Page 1, Ranked 4 out of 669
Absolutely outstanding results by anyones measure. So why has this site performed so well, when other adult sites i've worked on and designed and optimised haven't? The answer is the clients core business. She operates within a niche market and therefore competition is lower, not only this, but the keywords used are very specific (especially the geographical variant). In addition, the competition that is there, is not as clued up to SEO as other sites are, which again, means a little SEO goes a very long way.
The basic SEO elements of my sites
Whilst designing a website, I always build in SEO as I go along, it makes much more sense than building the site then going back and applying SEO to it. As a rule, there are a number of key things that I always do on a site;
- Use keyword rich ALT tags on every image
- Make use of correct H1, H2 and so on headings to help reinforce the theme of the site
- Have good quality descriptive text on the homepage
- Custom write each pages Title tag to relate to the content actually on the page, no more than 12 words long
- Include a list of researched keywords and a META description on every page
- Link all pages with a text only sitemap (where graphical or dynamic navigation is used)
- Submit site to Google Sitemaps and Google Base
- Manually submit all pages to the main search engines as soon as domain purchased
The above case study serves to highlight how important it is that a client has a unique or niche service to promote. If your client has a unique selling point, then its likely that you will find it a whole lot easier to promote that site online.
Are 'Me Too' clients damaging your business?
So does this mean as designers we should be turning away 'me too' clients? In some ways, if SEO is a core aim of your business, then the fewer of this type of client you have on your books the better, but that doesn't mean you still can't achieve results.
You will obviously have to understand and indeed admit to client that if they are operating in a crowded market place, with lots of competition and no USP, then the results they achieve as a result of SEO will be much less spectacular, but as long as expectations are managed I feel that this is both a justified and logical approach to take.

Do you want revenge on a devious, cheating partner?
Could be a good way to get your own back on a cheating lover or spouse...
A new concept in adult cards has recently been launched. Unique, these cards are the exact opposite of a regular greetings card, often used to express positive, heartfelt sentiments.
These cards contain scathing poems and verses of an adult nature. Caught your lover cheating with another woman? Sick of your husband being tied to the apron strings? Found out your partners been showing his mates your ‘private’ home movie? There are cards to suit pretty much every situation, so if you feel scorned – don’t get mad – get even and send one of these irreverent adult greeting cards!
Cards come in packs of 5 and you can see examples on the website. Online payment is quick and easy using Pay Pal and the site is straight forward and easy to use.
Get your own back on your devious partner!

Creating a website spec for your web designer or developer
For non-technical people creating a website spec can seem like a scary process, but the following article outlines the things you need to think about and consider and guides you throug the process. Your website specification documents everything you want in your new site and gives the designers and/or developers something to work towards.
The process of writing a website spec can often prove very useful to customers as well, as it allows you to really think about what functaionlity and features you really want and need. This is especially important if you have a budget to stick to (and who doesn't?!), you can factor in all the key elements of the site and isolate those that are less important or can be saved and done a few months down the line once you have started to generate a revenue!
The following guide uses an escort portal website as its case study.
Thinking in more details about the site - how it will work and what information you will need to make it work
The website you want will basically consist of two sites. The main, primary site that all website visitors will see (i.e. www.jamesescortssite.co.uk), then a second, password protected website. Also known as the backend this site acts as an admin interface for both yourself and if you want, for the escorts that you have on your books.
1. Primary Website
Think about what pages you want – these will be the links on your website, list them all, along with an outline of what content you want on that page, if you want, you can sub-divide this list further into things you definitely want on the page and things you think could be useful (we can advise you on this after we go through your specification);
i.e.
Homepage
The homepage of the website will include a general introduction, escort search and a small selection of featured escorts – could be good idea to have a random selection of escorts featured on the homepage showing picture, age, location and per hour price
About Us
Talk about the agency, where you are based, how long you’ve been going, owners experience in industry, what makes your escorts different etc
How to Join
Information on how a prospective escort can get in touch with you as well as any criteria you have for escorts on your books, what they should think about before joining, costing and how to pay information could also go here
FAQ’s
List of frequently asked questions such as ‘how do I join?’, ‘How do I make a booking?’, ‘What if my client fails to show up?’ – Could be a good idea to split this up into faq’s for clients and faq’s for escorts
…and so on.
After you have thought about the sort of content you want on each of the pages, you then need to recognise which areas of content are dynamic (things that will need programming and/or to be linked to your database) and as such will need further thought.
For example, the escort search on the homepage will be linked to the database and results will change based on a number of flexible criteria the website user chooses. Before you can decide what the search criteria on the homepage are, you need to consider the type of information you will be requiring for each escort that you sign up, for example, the information you need to hold in the database for each escort might be;
Fig.1
Working Name
Gender
Age
Height
Hair Colour
Eye Colour
Weight or Body build
Sexuality - Bi, Straight etc
Smoker
Nationality/Ethnicity
Location
Rates, 1st hour, 2nd hour, 3rd hour and so on
Description/Profile
Contact Details for Website
Full Contact Details (including real name for billing purposes)
Date Signed up/paid
Username
Password
Picture(s)
Once you have decided on what information your database needs to hold, you can then decide which bits of information will form that basis of your search, for example;
ESCORT SEARCH
Choose hair colour…
V
Choose age range…
Choose build…
Choose sexuality…
V
V
V
Choose Location…
V
1 Hr Rate…
V
FIND
Be aware that the more criteria you have, the more complicated the coding will be, keep it as simple as possible whilst ensuring you have all the key information you need. Also think about how you want this information displayed on the search results page.
If you do the above search and it finds say, 30 matches, what information do you want to show to provide the user with enough to make a decision on which escorts they would like to click on to see more information? Typically the search results would consist of a page showing a list of small thumbnail images for each escort along with a small amount of information and a ‘click here to see full profile’ link.
You will also need to think about how clients will contact the escorts, via phone, email and/or online contact form, also how many pictures you will allow each escort to have (the more pictures, the higher the bandwidth required from your server and this will add on additional costs).
2. Admin Website
The admin site is hidden from website users and will be password protected, you might want each escort to be able to edit their profiles, add more pictures and so on whenever they choose, or, much simpler, would be if the admin website is primarily for yourself, giving you control over what escorts are shown on the website at any time (for example, you will be able to ‘hide’ an escort on the live site so she can’t be found, this could be useful if you’ve not received payment from them yet for example).
The admin site would also allow you to put certain escorts on the homepage as featured or popular escorts and any other similar functionality you might want.
Payment Handling
On the escorts signup page you can choose how you would like to handle payment processing and there are a number of methods available, each with differing cost implications.
Probably, in the first few months of a site going live, and certainly if budget is an issue, it might be worth going with a simple manual method. Prospective escorts would fill in the online application form (which would contain all the information shown in figure 1) and submit it to you. You would receive an email containing the application, the information from this form would be automatically stored in the database.
You could then check the application and if happy to include the escort on your site you could then quickly and easily generate a Pay Pal invoice that would be emailed straight to the escort. Once the payment has been received, you could then login to the Admin website and put the new listing live.
If you would prefer to have your own secure server that accepts credit card transactions which go straight into your bank account, then this can also be arranged, although this will add substantial cost to the project and is something that could easily be added at a later date once your site gets more popular and starts generating you a revenue.
...Just some of the things you need to think of and let your designers / developers know.

123 Reg Problem with Payment Processing Domain Renewal
In my experience, ever since 123-reg were bought by Pipex their support has gone downhill and it has taken over a week for them to deal with my enquiries before now. Given that the domain runs out on the 8th August, they really do need to reply to me straight away, I downright refuse to phone up and get charged per minute to talk to someone about this again;
SUPPORT QUESTION AWAITING ASNSWER
I have been trying to renew a domain for 4 weeks weeks. I have entred in my usual switch/meastro details approaching 2 dozen times. I phoned your support line on Monday of this week and was told that there were currently problems with credit card processing and to try again in 24 hours. I have left it 2 days before trying again and I have tried 3 times this morning and I keep getting the same error:
Domain Renewal Step 4 The card details you have entered do not appear to be valid.
If you are trying to use a Switch card with a number such as 123456 123456789012, you should put in the whole number, not just the second part.
The error was: Bad issue (code 27)
Please return to the previous page, enter any missing fields or modify any incorrect ones and try again.
I used my card this morning to make a transaction online and I use this card several times a day, every day and there is definately nothing wrong with it. In addition this is the same card I have been using for the past year to purchase and renew domains in my 123-reg account.
My domain expires on the 8th and through no fault of my own I am simply unable to do this. Please advise a.s.a.p.

Bespoke website design versus templated off the shelf websites.
I was asked an interesting question today by a prospective client.
She asked, why a website designed by us, cost so much more than a website from Mr Site. A good question I thought.
Further investigation revealed Mr Site to be a off the shelf 'website-in-a-box' type package that allows you to create your own website, relatively quickly and easily. After pondering the issue, I wanted to be able to provide a concise list of reasons why our service is far superior to using an off the shelf package and ultimately, to justify our higher charges, so i've added the following to my FAQ's page which you can see here.
Q. Why does a website from you cost more than an off the shelf or 'website in a box' package like Mr Site?
A. Mr Site and similar 'website-in-a-box' packages offer a standard website package that you can customise yourself to give you what you want. Although creating your own website in this way can save you money, there a number of distinct limitations including;
- Your website will be a templated design and as a result will look exactly like hundreds if not thousands of other websites out there
- Unless you are a graphic designer or at least know your way around Photoshop, you won't be able to customise the design template over and above what options are offered with the package
- Using these packages will require a lot of your time and input and almost always require at least some technical know-how
- Your site will not be as search engine friendly as a custom designed website
- Your site may not be able to do everything you want it to do as you are limited by what the pacakge offers
- You will make all important design and development decisions yourself, without the benefit of years of in-depth industry knowledge
By having a website professionally designed, you get a website that is 100% bespoke to your individual needs. You get to have as much or as little input in the project as you wish, but you certainly won't need to learn or indeed be expected to have any design or technical skills! Your website will be fully search engine optimised and manually submitted to the search engines and we can even copy write for you giving you a site that not only looks attractive and professional, but that is full of high quality, keyword rich copy.

Arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a copy of the fourth email, sent to Google AdWords today...
The answer to my questions is not covered in your faq’s.
My advert keywords have now been disapproved for 10 days and this is the FOURTH time of contacting you and I have still not received a reply, despite you claiming that most enquiries are dealt with in one business day.
You have classified my advert as adult in nature which is correct. However, every single one of my keywords has been disallowed because you believe they are not adult in nature and I simply can not understand how this can be.
My business is www.adultwebdesigners.co.uk, my company name is adult web designers, my keywords of adult web designers, adult website design, sex shop website design and so on are obviously all clearly adult key phrases. If I can not use ‘adult web designers’ or similar to promote my business, ‘adult web designers’ and can not use any such keywords, my question, that I put to you again, for the fourth time, is what keywords do you suggest I use to promote my business? How can the term adult web designers NOT be seen as an adult term when it even contains the word ADULT and it matches exactly the name and URL of my business!
Google AdWords is the only advertising service I have ever used where I routinely find it impossible to actually spend money as you are so quick to disallow keywords for no apparent reason.
I NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT KEYWORDS I COULD USE INSTEAD OF ALL THE ONES YOU HAVE DISALLOWED. I ALSO WANT AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THESE KEYWORDS HAVE ALL BEEN DISALLOWED.
