After reading the WebProNews Blog (http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/2008/03/12/spitzer-scandal-sheds-light-on-web-prostitution) and also experiencing the sex trade’s web marketing techniques myself - by contamination of my email inbox, it’s apparent that escorts and/or their agencies have excellent web-marketing skills.

“The controversy surrounding New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has shed light (a red light) on a number of underground activities. Besides government corruption and the sex trade in general, Spitzer’s use of the Internet to connect with prostitutes is exposing a huge industry with which people may not be familiar.

Or even know exists.

The online escort/call girl/”model”/prostitute scene isn’t so hard to find, though. Just use Google. If the organic results don’t fit what you’re looking for, AdWords can help, too.

The truth is, investigating this scene is much like investigating the adult entertainment scene. The breadth, depth, and scope of prostitution available via online booking is staggering, indicating that just like the online porn industry, sex trade is not just a huge industry, but one that employs cutting edge marketing techniques, and one that apparently is thriving.”
