I posted my first online personal ad over a year ago. I got tons of responses. Then I took it down for a while. When I reposted it about two months ago, I changed a few things around. This time around, I got virtually no responses. So I guess I need to revamp it again. I just can’t understand what I did right the first time, but so very wrong the second. Any suggestions how to spruce it up?
Yeah - post it on a site where you don’t get error messages when you link to it.
What’s your user name there? It can be easier for us members (ahem) to go in ourselves and just to a name search. (I’m daletremont there, in the interests of fairness.)
Take two:

My name there is “wildirishlad” (which is the first thing I’d like to change, mind you).
Okay, I just previewed post and tried it myself. The url worked for me that time.
The link still doesn’t work – I think it’s a having an account/not having an account thing. Try it when you’re signed out from that site.
Two comments: Don’t like the left-hand pic of the twofer in your main photo – I find webcam pix a little off-putting.
Also, take out all your exclamation points – as F. Scott Fitzgerald said, they’re like laughing at your own jokes.
OTOH, what do I know? I’m female and heterosexual, not exactly your target audience.
Oops, sorry, should have reviewed more carefully before hitting submit – I’d use the second picture (the one with the tan background) as your primary pick. You look natural and approachable in that one.
I don’t know who you are. And I couldn’t make the link to your ad work. But here’s what your ad should say for maximum responses:
Single male, independently wealthy, seeks woman for long vacations and short trips on my yacht. I’m exceptionally tall and work part time as a fashion model. When I’m not modelling, I visit my mother who I love very much, but am not excessivly attached to. I also love pets, children, and chubby women. I can’t keep my hands off of plump asses! I gave up my day job long ago after winning the lottery/inheriting an estate (your story goes here), so I have plenty of time to dote on you. I love shopping and romantic comedies, but also understand that a woman needs time to herself.
