Any one who has called Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl knows that I operate a different kind of phone sex service. The service at Cheap Phone Sex is personal, never rushed, fun and affordable. To keep everything friendly about five (5) years ago I instituted a ‘polite fee’. Now the polite fee doesn’t involve the majority of my callers but for the few where it applies I thought I mention it today. If you hang-up, as would make sense if you called one of those pricey $4.99 or $5.99 per minute phone sex places, I charge a $4 polite fee. I realize some callers hang up without saying anything because they have been trained to do so in an effort to save themselves 5 bucks. My friends this is Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl. Staying on a minute longer to wrap things up is going to cost you at most 80 cents. Ending the call abruptly will cost you $4. Now the first time this happens I do not apply the $4 ‘polite fee’. I give you the benefit of the doubt. The next time you call, however, I do remind you of the ‘polite fee’ and will apply it in the future whenever the incident happens again. I recall one phone sex owner who is now out of business commenting that guys pay us and therefore it is OK to be rude. It is never OK to be rude. I would never hang up on you and expect the same from you. I think I may have used the polite fee about a dozen times in the last five (5) years which is a clear indication that the guys who call Cheap Phone Sex are very polite indeed. That’s the phone.

Believe it or not there is something in the air. Despite the economy and our wars, people seem to be happier. Just the other day I saw a big, scary looking guy skipping in the parking lot. President Elect Obama has even been swore in yet. Now here’s the weird thing. The Washington, DC metropolitan area has its neighborhoods. There is a place for diplomats, Pentagon workers, spooks i.e. CIA, FBI, NSA, press and Hill workers. Now I live in a rather trendy, upscale neighborhood with plenty of guns …I mean spooks. The election was on Tuesday and before the weekend was over half of my neighbors moved out. They were the Hill workers. But that isn’t the weird part. The next weekend all of their homes were filled with other Hill workers. I am surrounded by Democrats! They must have moved in while I was breathing in the air or something because all of my former Bush Administration neighbors are gone and now I have incredibly happy Obama supporters everywhere. Now I’m not complaining fortunately my next door neighbors are spooks that are hard of hearing so I can continue to be as loud as I want to be during my cheap phone sex session with you. Speaking of which when was the last time you called me? You know I have a package of my own aka Cheap Phone Sex Package which is so much easier to hide from the wife amid all the Christmas shopping receipts. Soooooo …treat your self.

The telephone man is coming! And not the good kind. For the last two (2) years I have been at war with a certain telephone company that shall remain nameless but for simplicity sake we’ll call Verizon. Now don’t get me wrong I love Verizon, I have their stock, some of my best friends are gay…I mean work at Verizon. Well, the problem, will be rectified tomorrow or the next day or the day after that. Verizon wasn’t clear when their form of Obama change is coming. Here’s the problem. To fix my telephone situation they may have to take the line out of circuit for a minute or a few hours or somewhere in between. So, this week, if you hear something weird like worst case scenario a busy signal or a message stating the phone has been disconnected, don’t panic. It will all be fixed before the end of this week. I’m just happy that the telephone man is coming. I guess that means I should find some clothes and hide my pornos. Those of you who use this phone sex service on a regular basis know that whenever you call you should ONLY hear my voice. Do me a favor. When you call, if you hear anything other than my voice, please let me know. Deal? That’s the phone. Later. Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl Call 1-888-669-6389, ONLY $12 BUCKS for 15-minutes.

As many of you heard on my message I had to see my dentist late last week. On Thursday I waited in the dentist’s lobby for a good 90 minutes and as I sat in the dental chair this guy walks into the room. Now the left side of my face was swollen and I was in a great deal of pain. The guy is a dentist I have never met. He says to me that I must be gorgeous when half my face isn’t twice the size of the other side. To his credit he speaks pain. So imagine talking to someone with twenty cotton balls in your mouth. I told him, “Who the f-ck are you? Where is Dr. H-? If you think I am going to let you touch me with sharp instruments you must be on dog food.” Let’s just say that when I am in pain, I am extremely bitchy and tend to spontaneously develop Tourettes. I left the office and went home to put together an old family remedy which brought down the swelling over time. On Friday my regular dentist was there and was able to permanently reduce the cause of the problem. My dentist rocks. He can do wonders AND you don’t even feel it. That my friends it talent. So all is well. The pain is gone and I am taking calls again. Yipee! That’s the phone. So some very lucky bastard gets to chat with yours truly. Talk to you soon.

I was so inspired that today I decided to do a little spring cleaning – naked. Read a few industry magazines – naked. Well, you get the point, right? In addition to my new phone sex hours I have also changed my Cheap Phone Sex Packages: 4 Calls are $40 7 Calls are $75 10 Calls are $100 All Cheap Phone Sex calls are 15-minutes and must be completed within 180 days of purchase.

Granted some of you may share a computer at work or at home and can not bookmark Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl. Not to worry. Just give me a few days and hopefully I will have a creative way or two to circumvent that problem. In the meantime you may want to jot down my phone sex number.

To recap for years since 2000 I have had the number one position in Google for the search term “cheap phone sex”. Last July I dropped completely from the index and could not for the life of me figure out why. As you can imagine that drop completely messed with my bottom line. What is even more disconcerting is that when a site has a number one position for so long and then suddenly disappears phone sex callers think you have gone out of business or something. Not the case. You can surmise how the G-word became the G-word. Well, about two months after my public letter I got a response from Google. Oh, I was so excited. I called my mother and read the letter to her. I framed the letter earlier this year because although I have not found a solution to my current conundrum words do not begin to describe my appreciation in the fact that A- responded to my questions. A company as large as Google doesn’t have to explain a damn thing. But they did. I get it. And it’s a good day. Sooooo, let’s get back to the business that I love so much – making you ‘happy’. Cheap Phone Sex Updates: I have a little eye candy for everyone. Enjoy Juicy Breasts and Red Hair. As you can probably tell by the title, the free mini-site features redheads with ample natural breasts. I also added an interesting sex story entitled Psycho Therapy. If any of you are into the doctor patient thing, then I believe you will enjoy this story. That Marcia has a dirty mouth! I also updated the sex review section. By now the words cheap and Cheryl should be synonymous. I found a company that offers great member sites for only $6. Check out 6BuckHardcore. Lastly, I finally added audio to the site: Audio Teasers. Phone is ringing. Talk to you soon.

For the record I do not have an issue with Google per se. My situation involves protecting my copyrights and servicemarks. I am deeply concerned with unscrupulous webmasters using deceptive practices to confuse my callers AND …this is the important part… having no forum in which to ask a simple question. Why? Because I traffic in “porn”? Phone sex is not porn. Cheap Phone Sex as in the case of any liquor or retail store selling cigarettes deals with mature topics targetting an adult clientele. Yeah there is some T&A on this site. However, the last time I saw a beer commercial I recall plenty of T&A. Speaking of T&A let’s get back to the business of this site, Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl. I thought I start off by answering a few Cheap Phone Sex questions: From L- Dear Cheap Phone Sex with Cheryl, Would like to make a purchase. Do you paypal? You are shitting me, right?

From M- Dear Phone Sex with Cheryl, The last few times I tried to call the back line number is busy. I haven't experienced that before, so I thought perhaps there is something wrong. Please advise. You should never get a busy signal. Thanks for the heads up. I checked the system and everything seems to be fine. If you ever find something to be a little off, please do not hesitate to let me know. Do not want to get into the nitty gritty of my security system particularly the telephones. Just know that if something is ever the matter with the telephones you can always call this number, 1-888-651-0333. From R- Dear Cheryl Phone Sex, Hi, Cheryl, I’m Ryan.

To recap on Friday, July 21st I noticed that my site, Cheap-Phone-Sex.NET, dropped within the Google index from the 1-2 position to below 1000. Any SEO guru knows that this could mean a number of things. So I hopped over to Webmaster World to see what if anything was going on with Google’s datacenters. There was a lot of whining and complaining and within the midst of it all were a few nuggets of good information. As I implied in my letter I usually do not pay any attention to the various search engine updates. Why? That’s a long painful story: When I first got into this business I use to read a certain adult webmaster board religiously. Back then circa 1999 anything you wanted to know about getting into the adult business was available on-line and most everything was discussed openly. Sure there were a few miscreants that liked to make trouble but for the most part the owners/moderators of the boards kept things on topic. Everything I learned about building websites I learned from that board. The technical stuff is always changing but the philosophy is constant – build for your customers not for the engines. Certainly it is easy to lose sight of that philosophy and I believe that happened inadvertently sometime around the early spring of 2001. All the big players were being led around by this adult webmaster who was a self-proclaimed guru of search engine optimization (SEO). This guy had a lot of connections with the search engines and he was getting results. He would share his pearls of wisdom on the boards and even had a spot on one or two of the adult webmaster radio shows. Didn’t know we had radio shows, did you? The guy came up with something called a spider thingy. The idea was to create a site and link to all your other sites thus creating a trap of sorts. Everyone and their mother jumped on board. Pretty soon every adult webmaster was creating traps and sharing links with their friends, etc. Note this was a good 10 months before the ‘mainstream’ caught on. Then one day late in the summer or early fall of 2001 the guru stated to be careful of spider traps. Oddly enough no one really paid attention until around January 2002. The next month a good friend of mine went on the boards …Now ‘going on the boards’ is a big deal. Normally when you have a problem with a sponsor, host, affiliate, etc. the professional thing to do is work it out offline. One only ‘goes on the boards’ when the situation can not be worked out AND the issue is so grievous that other webmasters ought to know. Well, this webmistress had a lot of credibility within the adult community, and, she basically wanted to know what happened to all of her sites. I believe she knew that Google changed something and her building technique was filtered out. Sites began dropping left and right February 2002 and again March 2002. Most of the sites came back in April for a brief moment and were completely wiped by tax day April 15, 2002. On April 16, 2002 I logged on and saw that every last one of my sites was out of Google’s index. I would estimate that at the time I had about 20% of the online phone sex market. When I entered the adult business in 1998 there were several “big players” who knew the inner workings of the then dominant search engines. They would game the engines in a way that I found questionable. I thought it useless to create pages and pages of keywords with a single link to an affiliate program. You see the point is to make the page so ugly and uncomfortable that the surfer is “forced” to hit a link. The so-called big boys dominated Excite, Alta Vista and whatever other search engine was around then. I knew I couldn’t beat them and I wasn’t about to join them so instead I focused on a little known search engine named Google and I never regretted that decision until April 16, 2002. After confirming that all of my phone sex sites were gone. I reversed engineered every site within the Phone Sex SERP. Then I researched every phone sex keyword where I had a top 10 listing. Then I read the adult webmaster boards. And then I did the unthinkable …I started doing research on ‘mainstream’ boards. Was Search Engine Watch around then? I may have actually bought a subscription. That’s huge. Because you know how cheap I am. A month went by. I went without sleep trying to figure out what happened. Then every 3-4 days I would crash and do it all over again. Around August someone said to me: “Cheryl don’t let this beat you”, and then proudly handed me a box of t-shirts. The shirts displayed the following: “Fuck Google”. Sorry, Google Groupies, I laughed and more importantly snapped out of my funk. When your site drop from the Google index you go through several phases: Phase One: WTF?! This is when you confirm the obvious – that your sites are hosed. You make sure your host is still in business and comb through your server logs to look for any suspicious activity. Finding none you start checking every bit of information Google has on your website. Phase Two: What did I do wrong? You haven’t found anything out of the ordinary with your sites so you ask for a second opinion. Board time! Without giving too much away you explain your situation and ask for advice. Good luck. Phase Three: I am going to fix this. Not certain who to believe or who to trust you develop a plan – Operation Get My Site BACK on Page One. Warning if you haven’t mourned the appropriate length of time your plan may be undoable, nutty and/or damaging. Phase Four: My site is so much better than ... While you spend sleepless nights righting what your think was the offense you take comfort in knowing other people are suffering too. It’s the whole you are not alone mentality. But secretly you curse the people on the boards who say they are doing just fine and then you realize the real problem is that site who is now sitting where you use to be. Damn them! Phase Five: What is taking so long? You have built the ultimate site and are now waiting for Google to notice (preferably yesterday) and place your baby, the site, in the top spot. Phase Six: Google!!! (Say it like Rocky said “Adrian!”) You realize that you have no idea what you are doing and neither does anyone else except Google and guess what? Google isn’t talking. Phase Seven: Build for your customers and not for the engines. Self-explanatory. Unfortunately few people ever reach Phase 7. That’s where I am now. Realize four (4) years old it took me six (6) months to come to that conclusion. I think it took me about two years after that before I could bring myself to search for the words “phone sex” or “cheap phone sex”. A couple of weeks ago to reach Phase Seven took a good night’s sleep. Three guesses what I wore to bed that night. Hint: It’s a t-shirt. In 2005 the game had changed and Google among others had several tools to help webmasters understand how to build quality sites, how to communicate effectively with the search engines and lastly how to understand the information that was freely available. All of these resources are great, however, in my opinion fail to address one common issue – there is not a place for adult webmasters to communicate and learn ways to build their sites as it relates to search engine traffic. Just about every webmaster resource does not allow discussions involving web sites that are mature in nature. I understand the policy but find it odd that there is not a Mature Category within some of the largest resources. It’s odd because whenever I read an article about spam the word ‘porn’ soon follows. After the snafu in 2002 not a single adult webmaster board spoke openly let alone honestly about search engine optimization. In my opinion there is not a resource for adult webmasters to learn how to do it right. And if there is a perceived issue, there is not a resource to ask a direct question. I can not imagine what goes on now but back then some of my acquaintances would spend the morning churning out 1000s of doorway pages stuffed with keywords. And when doorway pages were passe those same individuals would develop scripts for the next new fad. There will always be a ‘next new fad’. For a long time I thought that someone would step up to the plate and create a resource for adult webmasters to discuss search engine techniques openly and honestly. In 2002 I needed that resource and as a result wasted a good four months doing my own research. Today I need that resource to ask a question or two. A resource for adult webmasters discussing search engine traffic is not available and the ‘mainstream’ webmaster resources that are available refuse to hear my questions because my site, Cheap-Phone-Sex.NET, covers mature subject matter. So, what’s a girl to do? I wrote my letter, published a version here and … Like I said writing the letter was very helpful to my peace of mind. Two months ago I noticed a few things. Over the years I have seen one webmaster in particular use the words “cheap phone sex net” on 100s of doorway pages. The page would appear to be a link list of sorts when in actuality the alleged links to my site, Cheap Phone Sex, went to a Full Page Ad (FPA) hawking a subscription to an affiliate program. Then I began noticing my text on non-adult websites. On a site selling baby products I found my unique text. That portion of the text was not risque, however, the non-adult site linked directly to Cheap Phone Sex. Of course whenever I found inappropriate links I attempted to contact the webmaster but the whois information was almost always false. What else could I do? In the early days I use to spend hours tracking down the owner of a website and when not found the host and politely ask for the link to be removed, etc. To say the very least the entire affair was time consuming. Now there are 100s of one type of trick and 1000s of another. I am completely at a loss of what to do. One Friday night a friend of mine who works at one of the big ISPs stopped by and I showed him my research. He immediately started using the lingo as computer guys tend to do. Then he asked, “Who hates you?” By the time we sifted through all of the links it was clear that whoever did it did so deliberately. S/he targeted not only Cheap Phone Sex but a few other phone sex sites within my portfolio. It was good to hear from a guy who is paid to look into spam that I wasn’t being paranoid. Comforting but scary. We trotted across town to hang out with some friends and brought them into the discussion. One suggestion was that I should fight fire with fire. Before I listened to anything else I stated definitively that I would NOT engage in any “black hat” tricks. And I stand by that statement. I am confident that such dirty practices will not be rewarded and that the search engines will figure out a way to discourage these activities. In the meantime I am going to do what I learned the hard way four (4) years ago I am going to build Cheap Phone Sex for my clients and not for the search engines. It’s a shame though that no one (at the moment) can find this site. Cheap Phone Sex Updates: Take a peek at the erotic stories section. There are two short stories that may turn you on: The Shower Room and Mama Does Daddy. I updated the Pricing Page. I have included links so that you may pay by credit card and revised the prices for paying by check and via your telephone. The revisions reflect the fee I pay to provide the particular payment option. I am not raising my price but simply passing the processing fee on to you. As for the credit card buttons they are roughly 30% higher than if you simply called and allowed me to key in your credit card information. Some guys prefer to pay online. So, the option is there only it is a bit pricier because there is a middleman involved. Also, two months ago I began deeply ‘scrubbing’ the credit cards of new clients to Cheap Phone Sex. This anti-fraud prevention process is seamless for you. However, if for some reason I can not process your credit card then a good second bet would be to use the new credit card buttons OR choose a different payment option. Last item, beginning today, except for those individuals who currently have a cheap phone sex package the price of the package goes up to $85.72 and can ONLY be purchased online. The exception involves individuals who have packages as of 11:59PM ET August 11, 2006. These clients of Cheap Phone Sex may continue to enjoy a 10-call package or (if you have purchased one before) a 20-call package at the old rates.

The letter sent via fax and US Mail is the letter of record. Normally I would go through the proper channels and submit my questions. However, as my web property is adult in nature, I have not been able to find an on-line resource sponsored by Google that allows discussions of mature web sites. Yesterday I noticed my site http://www.cheap-phone-sex.net/ dropped from the top position to …no where …within the search results. I am writing as I am very concerned about the following: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=related:www.cheap-phone-sex.net/ Heretofore Google never displayed any results when this query was made. Now there are seven (7) sites listed. Some of which are VERY spammy. For the last 18 months or so Cheap Phone Sex has enjoyed a top position for the search term - cheap phone sex. Unfortunately having that top spot has made the site a target. Recently I noticed within Yahoo a deceptive practice where a webmaster generated 2000 or more links across at least a dozen third-level domains targeting the Cheap Phone Sex index page. The webmaster linked innocuous words e.g. “the”, including phrases that appeared to suggest child pornography. I am not entirely certain if that had anything to do with Cheap Phone Sex losing the top position in Yahoo but it does make one wonder. I fear that something similar is happening here too. I have been advised that a competing web site can not do anything to another site’s results. However, my industry is very competitive and not high on ethics. I have seen quite a bit online and off. Recently by identifying potential discourteous sites I have witnessed extremely aggressive tactics. For example, I have seen spammy websites target my unique telephone number, 1-888-669-6389, or the web address itself, cheap-phone-sex.net. By the time the unfriendly site hits Google’s index only the cached page leaves any evidence of the tactic. Normally when my phone sex site drops in position I wait it out with a ‘pendulum swings back’ mentality. However, I believe the game has changed. There are professional webmasters who have deliberately targeted my site, Cheap Phone Sex. Although I am unfamiliar with the jargon the result is an attempt to confuse the search engines thereby confusing my customers who by and large are not web savvy. For example I had a regular customer who when Cheap Phone Sex dropped from the index in April 2002 believed I had gone out of business. Why? He couldn’t find my site within the first two pages. Previously it had been ranked number 1 for 18 months. Imagine his surprise when around 2005 the site popped up again. To Summarize – (topic) cheap-phone-sex.net 1. How do I get out of a “bad” neighborhood? The related links involve spammy sites. 2. Can an aggressive competitor harm my site’s position by creating 1000s of off-topic links, submitting my site to 100s of spammy directories or ‘scraping’ dozens of old posts (dating back two-years or more) and using the content on non-adult sites? Again thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. Sincerely, Cheryl ___________________ Tomorrow ladies and gentlemen I will have a few goodies for you.
