Some of the most common questions I receive revolve around how I get advertisers to my blog, how I make money with advertising on my blog, and anything related to money and advertising.
While there are a variety of questions and answers surrounding this topic it all really comes back to the basics: Content equals traffic and traffic equals money.
One of the things that used to mystify people was why I didn't have advertising on my site when it was new. While I didn't for the most part it doesn't mean I wasn't like every other new blogger out there: I experimented with advertising.
When my blog was maybe a month old I signed up for a Google Adsense account and placed a few ads on the site. While I wasn't getting much traffic and therefore not making much money from the ads, somehow in my mind I thought it made my site look more professional. Although much of the advice that I read said ads on a newer site were a bad idea, I still thought that for me it was different. One day that all changed.
In maybe my second week of having the ads up I had written an article which made a mention of then Notre Dame Head Coach Charlie Weis and it noted that he wasn't exactly the most fit guy in the world. This reference to Weis' physique was less than a sentence but because of the contextual nature of Adsense, an ad for "Find Fat Chicks" appeared on my site. I believe seeing that ad on my site was my moment of clarity where I realized, maybe Adsense wasn't for me.
After about six months, my traffic reached what I thought to be reasonable levels of over 1,000 visitors a day on a consistent basis, and because of the massive amount of content I was starting to produce, I was delivering seven to ten thousand page views per day. I wanted to be able to leverage those page views into money. I had heard of such a thing as CPM advertising (Cost Per 1000 Impressions – you are paid a set amount for each 1,000 banner impressions you deliver) but never knew exactly how to get involved with it. I found out by asking around that the way to get these CPM deals was through Agencies.
Since I thought I had finally "arrived" I decided to contact ad agencies and let them know I existed. I did what I usually do to find anything, I typed into Google "Internet Advertising Agencies". I probably applied to 25 agencies and received very few responses, and the responses I did get told me they weren't interested. Although I don't give up easily, and I had enough other projects as my site was still growing, I put this idea on the shelf.
Like most people, I get a ton of email and a lot of it is junk. As a blogger, I receive all kinds of emails the regular world doesn't receive such as people wanting to exchange links (which I no longer do), SEO companies promising to get me to the top of Google, and other various emails about how I am missing out on some great money making opportunities. While a lot of these emails I have a good idea where they are going just by the subject line or the first sentence or two, I usually open and read all of them.
A little over a year ago I received an email that said in the subject line "Partnership Opportunity: Make more money Advertising". Some of you may have never received an email with a similar heading, but I am willing to bet that most of you who have your contact information readily available on your blog get similar titled emails often.
As I read the email it went on to say stuff I had heard before: "I found your site, Sports Chat Place, and I find your content and format to be a good fit with our clients. You can make more money advertising than with Google Adsense. If you are interested, please reply".
While I had gone down several roads which ended in dead ends from similar emails, I replied anyway and gave my phone number. A few hours later I got a call and the caller referenced the email. To make a long story short, within a few hours I received a 12 page contract from a top agency paying top rates for internet CPM advertising. Had I ignored what seemed like a common email, it may have been some of the most expensive keystrokes I didn't make.
It's probably a good time for me to add this: I can't help you get a CPM deal. If you have lots of traffic on your blog (around a million page views a month), the agencies will find you. Even after you sign your deal more agencies will continue to find you.
One thing I should also note here, I don't know what my Alexa Ranking is but I'm willing to bet it is at least 40,000-50,000 or even more spots lower than many people who don't have a deal with an agency; the agency won't offer them a deal because they don't get enough traffic to make it work. Just another indication of how meaningless the Alexa number is and how it isn't taken seriously when it comes to what matters most, making money.
Since this is something a lot of people care about, I'll do my best to cover this in the most detail I can. People in general have a lot of misconceptions about CPM advertising. However, what you will read in the next several paragraphs should answer a lot of the questions and give you the real picture of how it all works. You will know as much as anyone really needs to know on this subject unless of course you want to work for an agency.
The Agency will go out and recruit advertisers to run a campaign and more than likely your blog is just one of many who will be part of the package the agency sells to their clients on a cost per thousand impression basis. For any of you who have done any kind of sales, you know the agencies' work isn't so easy, especially when you aren't making money because then they aren't making money. Meanwhile not only are they selling a product, they are also trying to convince potential advertisers of the relevancy of your site to their product and campaign, and how your site nails their demographic.
The client will have the right to accept or reject any site that runs their ads so while your agency may get the campaign, it's still possible that you and your site are left out in the dark. This usually isn't the agencies' fault, they want to sell as many ads as they can.
For their part the agency gets a percentage and the most common figure is around half. While that seems like a lot to some people, it doesn't sound like a lot to people who are getting even less than half from their agencies and believe me there are plenty of them. Personally I look at it like I really don't have to do much and the agency does the rest. I just keep producing content and getting traffic, the agency sells the space, serves up ads and then sends me a check like clockwork every month. It's really not a bad deal.
There is no correct answer for this question but I can give you some solid background. I have seen CPM campaigns pay anywhere from 20 cents to 15 dollars per thousand impressions. While I know it's a broad range, it is the reality of it and I believe as the economic conditions improve and the more targeted and desirable the demographic of the audience, the will get even bigger. Also, when I refer to what a campaign pays, I am referring to only the portion that goes to the site owner.
At the higher end of the spectrum are the real Premium Campaigns. Most of the campaigns that pay out big money are in limited quantities for limited amounts of time. While you can tell your agency you only want ads that pay $10 or more, it doesn't really mean you are going to get all of your inventory filled at $10 or better, it more than likely means you'll sell the same amount you would have at $10 and the rest of your inventory will go unsold. Remember, the more your inventory sells for, the more your agency makes so it's in their best interest to maximize every impression.
As for the lower end of that spectrum, most of the agencies that deal with numbers so small are more targeted to less trafficked blogs or to people who have unsold inventory on their site that are just trying to get whatever they can get. As you move up to the 70 cents to a dollar range most of that is what is referred to as Premium Fill. Premium Fill is usually impressions owed to advertisers for past campaigns or the like. While it doesn't pay as much, with the right amount of impressions, it can still work.
Some agencies offer live stats where you can see in real time or with a delay exactly how much you are making.
Most agencies will let you kill a campaign from running on your site if you ask them to do so. Why you would want to kill a campaign could be for a number of reasons. Some people don't like certain types of ads on their site, usually these are pop ups, stretch ads, or ads that have video and sound. Some ads you may feel are directly competing with a product you sell or endorse or have an affiliate deal with, so for a CPM it simply wouldn't offset what you would make on the other side.
An impression happens whenever someone views a page you have an ad on. If you have more than one ad on it then it is simply the page views multiplied by the ad spaces. Most agencies will guide you as to how many ad spaces you can have but the standard is three to five. Your agency may ask you to remove spaces if they feel you have too many or ask you to add if you don't have enough.
There are a variety of methods used to calculate the impressions but usually if you use a stats program of any kind and you just do the math; I have found that mine are very close. As far as how much I am going to make, I have no idea nor do I wonder about it.
Not even close. I make most of my money through my membership/subscription portion of my site. It's my own product and I don't have to share it with anyone except when an affiliate sells it and I am more than happy to give them their cut when that happens. CPM advertising is great supplemental income but as far as relying on it as my number one source when I have so little control over it except for bringing in traffic, that is not where I want to be.
When I get a check for several thousand dollars from my agency, it's a great thing, when the checks are a little lighter because they had a slow month, I don't want nor expect an apology from my agency nor do I give them a hard time about it.
Some agencies will make you sign exclusive deals meaning they own all of your inventory and only they can sell it, fortunately for me my first offer was a non-exclusive deal so I have never felt like I was in a take it or leave it situation where I would even consider taking an exclusive deal.
I have run multiple agencies impressions on my site usually just as a test to see if I can make more money with another agency and I have the right to do so if I want to, but to be honest, for right now I like to keep it simple.
Contracts are for various lengths and in most cases if you wanted to get out of them you can as most agencies I have dealt with want it to be a win-win and feel good situation for everyone. I have seen some that run a year, others that run a few months or a trial period.
I guess this is where I should add something important: I get offers from agencies all the time now and I would be lying if I said I didn't listen to every single one. I know I can listen to what other agencies say because I know if I needed to, my contract has a way out where it wouldn't take me more than 10 days. Like most things that are 12 pages of legal jargon, I had my Lawyer check it out.
While other agencies have promised me better payouts than what I am getting, I haven't switched agencies. I'm not saying I never would I am just saying I like and trust the people I am doing business with and they don't bother me too much, and as I mentioned earlier, they always send a check.
While it doesn't mean if someone gave me a tremendous offer I wouldn't take it, I think there is something to be said about my agency who really took a chance on me when I was a small fish in their pond. While I'm still not the biggest fish, I'm nowhere near the smallest but I am still very appreciative that they sent me that email asking me if I was interested in the "Partnership Opportunity".

thanks a lot for your great tips!!i hope to follow them in my blog!!
Very nice article, Mitch.
Some good inspiration.
Sometimes in all that rough spam mail, you might just find a diamond 🙂
I like your take on the Alexa Ranking too.
~ Rory
I know I'm not alone in getting over 500 emails every day but I still painfully go through all of them of course unless it's blatant spam..
I have made some pretty good contacts that way
tried that but didn't worked…got my account blocked 🙁
I always like understanding how different aspects of advertising work, so great article.
One area where I would like to see more detail is some basic averages … for site X with X visitors and X page views, these are your options and possible earning potential, etc.
This one is pretty easy. If you write a lot of content and provide good quality to your readers you will get traffic, and when you get traffic you'll make money. If you don't supply quality fresh content just about daily, you will have a very hard time making money.
There is no magical formula which you can answer your question because with traffic and hard work, their is no ceiling for how much you can make. If you just throw up a site and do the bare minimum, you won't make anything more than likely.
I agree that having your own products/memberships is the best way to monetize your blog. I've done some CPA stuff, but only with neverblue, and buying banners on other sites.
Your Message
Nice and inspiring… I will from now on read junk emails 🙂
I think that more and more websites are starting to run affiliate like ads. It can make you much more profit than regular Google Ads.. In Fact: even sites like NY Times and Daily News are working with affiliate programs.
Great article Mitch,
thanks for sharing. I also cut off all adsense ads on my blog and currently aiming at improving te content and getting more traffic.
I do believe once I achieve that the marketing proposals will be round the corner.
Interesting move Togrul. I've heard a lot of people doing that lately. Is Adsense still making money for the 'smaller' blogs?
Or is it only worth it for the major players these days?
~ Rory
Hi Rory,
I think Adsense has always been a strong meat for the smaller blogs.
Hi Mitch, good article, however the part I find really interesting is that within 6 months you managed to achieve 1000 visitors per day? How did you achieve this, would you share some of your tips?
Sure if you look at my past articles I talk about this but basically I just have a ton of fresh content..it's really that simple.
Hi, if I cannot get enough traffic to become a publisher with CPM companies, can I contact these agencies and ask if they will promote my products?
My guess is you will have no luck, you are better off spending that time creating content.
Nice one Mitch. I think CPM will work fine for bloggers who do get high traffic. Thanks for sharing. Have fun 🙂
Thanks Mitch. I think there are better ways to make money online then CPM but the tips you gave are definitely valid.
Like I said, it isn't nearly my main source of income and if you are already getting the traffic, there isn't any extra work you need to do..
Wow, I had never thought of this type of advertising on my blog. Your information has been very helpful.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Mitch,
Thanks a lot for sharing this piece of information, I have come across a lot of articles that highlight the various ways to advertise online and enhance the sales and traffic of a site but your article was great! I really admire the way you've explained in such detail of what exactly CPM is. I am sure anyone who was not familiar with this would have a much better idea after reading your post. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Would be nice if you could list some agencies.
unfortunately I'm not an agent, don't work for an agency, or nor do i claim to know every agency out there. As I said in the articles I googled (as you can) them but like I also said, when i contacted them, nothing happened. Get traffic and they will find you.
I think it is fantastic that you are able to utilize CPM and make money. I'm glad you pointed out that you don't put all your eggs in one basket and not count on it as your main income source. Advertising can be precarious and you never know when the other shoe will drop. However, at least your traffic levels will allow for you to count on at least supplemental income from CPM's.
Thanks for the info. That is the most indepth information that I have ever seen on how they work.
Thanks for the detailed guide on CPM advertising. Can you, say, in a subsequent article, let us know some good CPM companies that we can deal with? Any guidance in this regard will be appreciated.
Getting traffic is becoming a clear message here and CPM may not be for everyone. What about article marketing. I am always delighted to hear from authors looking to have their articles (relevant of course) published. If that's you, contact me.
If we all help one another we can become more successful.
Hi Mitch!
I never thought that I can have earnings through CPM until now. I would like to try it for my site. I'll update you on the results. Thanks for the detailed information!
What is the name of the plugin you use here to display authors picture?
Oh my Mitch – you make me want to go back to my Trash folder and email every single solicitation back. Wonder what kind of money I have been throwing away 🙂
I now have a better understanding of how CPM works. I haven;t reached anywhere near the amount of traffic I need to make decent money from it (I make about $5 a month with it).
Thanks Mitch Wilson for the great post. You've opened our eyes. Actually we want to make money but we don't learn what and how to do. It's like jumping in the water but without knowledge how deep it could be. Your emphasis on content first is a powerful idea.
Thanks again.
This is probably the most thorough and forthright article I have ever read about CPM advertising. I really had no idea about this industry, but have seen the term thrown around quite a bit. I wonder how many of the highly trafficked websites out there make the bulk of their income off of CPM advertising?
– Andrew
Awesome article! Keep up the good work. I did the exact thing as you when starting out. "seach: how to start a blog" Great article!
I really cannot make money with cpm advertising. The best way, i can make money by ppc advertising.
Thank you for your case study!
CPM advertising is the form of advertising, which is closer to the billboard.
Companies pay you to showing their brand.
They don't ask you to send visitor to their site or find new customers, so CPM advertising it's not too bad
Anyway,I prefer direct advertising (ad spaces rental) with monthly flat rates
Nice Article! I'm really having trouble with this right now as a new blogger as well! I'm doing adsense right now but CPM is something that is interesting me more and more! Blogging is a hobby that im just hoping will give me some spending cash in the future!
Ben Winters CEO
I recently ventured into CPM as an alternative to Adsense but I've not been that successful with them, maybe because I don't have enough traffic yet. Nice post here… I got things I don't understand before.
Still i'm confused.am getting over 1500 unique visitors a day.how do i start cpm on my blogger blog?
Plz explain me.!:(
Nice article but you claim 400K monthly visitors, how? Doing searches on multiple sites show that this site only gets 27K and your other site gets 72K.
Nice article Mitch. CPM is a great way to compensate yourself for the hardwork you've done as a blogger!
My blog "business plan" relies on me making about a 4$ (just under £3 where I am) CPM. This is encouraging me that I can get there 🙂
Thanks for the information. But I am in despair, thinking which type of ad I should have. Now I think that I should wait a little more till I get some above 1000 visitors per day.
I get 200,000 visitors a month with 500,000+ views, is there a list of ad agencies anywhere?
Adsense and related payout peanuts, and
I'm tired of using those!
Searching for a viable CPM program is quite difficult on Google. Lets face it, would you accept $1 for 1000 impressions ? I want $10 (ie. 1 cent per view). That seems only fair. If anybody knows one paying such rewards, then please reply here ………
Good post Mitch.
Its so stupid when i think about the level of work that goes into a web design, writing and marketing to gain a successful website. I have been developing for 6 months and still nowhere there. However, the payout on CPM is just stupid. Taking into account that even most low level magazines charge a couple of thousand for a double page spread. I think the advertising earnings for CPM is just criminal. Its ok if you are a bluechip company, but the hours of work to get to a level for CPM payments and the rates that this can bring you if its your ownly source of income is just stupid.
Hey Mitch,
Firstly that's a great article. Thanks for such useful information. I just recently started off with a website with my friends. I needed some help to optimize my revenue. As we've just started off, I know that the income is going to be really low. But all I wanted to know what are the good practices or ways to optimize the CPM ads on my website. I wanted to know things like:1) What category of website earns the most out of a CPM ad agency? 2) How many ads per page gives the best outcome? Is it best to have 1 ad per page from 1 ad agency or many ads per page from the same ad agency? Or is it better to have 1 ad from 1 ad agency and work with many ad agencies like that? 3)What size of banner makes the most money? Also, what are the best possible placements of ads on a page? 4)Usually which country's traffic fetches maximum earnings?
I'll be extremely grateful to receive a reply to this. This will help me a lot.
Awaiting your reply.
most all websites want to advertise on a CPM basis because they get paid for just having traffic on their site. With internet fraud being as ubiquitous as it is, I personaly do not advertise with cpm. Its too easy to fake traffic now. I think that's why it's hard to find advertisers to advertise this way.
thanks for sharing this it will really help me to monitize my blog.
l have clocked the 1000 visitor per day meaning about 9000 pageviews per month but i still thought my alexa ranking must come down before i can attract sponsors. This article shows me that alexa ranking should not be taking too seriously.
Hi Mitch.,
Thanks for this great article. But what actually impressed me is your bio. 3000 unique visitors in 3 months is incredible. You are another inspiring blogger to me now.
Hi ! I have an website with tattoo designs, ideas and much more ( http://tattoobiter.com ) ! Should i get adsense or another company ?
Mitch – This was exactly the article I was looking for. My blog is a tiny fish in a puddle.. 🙂
Now I know how CPM works.
Inspiring article my fellow blogger.
While everyone seems to be writing about how much they wish their blog can pay them via way of cpm, I want to think otherwise and I believe the earlier bloggers especially newbie get this understanding the better.
We all know for a fact blogging pays. Listening to one of Yaro"s podcast I quite remember he made mentioned that blogs are fashioned after the magazine model. If there is anything that arouse my interest and enlarged my understanding of blogging then I think its that single statement.
Using your local magazine in your favourite niche for example, what is it that makes you picked it up everyday? Hope you will all bear with me that its because of the quality content with its captivating title they continually produce. It"s dead simple, let"s forget about the money and produce captivating and results oriented articles and the sky will be our limit.
In fact, am still trying to come to grips with the idea that people are willing to attend a two years college or four year degree awarding institution without being paid and yet these same people start a blog in six to one year and want to earn $1,000, oh please let"s be realistic and think as business men. We sure are not employee anymore to expect monthly earnings with our first jobs.
Friends and brothers, lets understand that we are biilding a business for our future and so lets start with the right attitude and exhibit alil more patience if not we will quit before we realise it. Lets learn by trying things out and we will get better understanding. I have two blogs which am mostly optimizing it with local seo strategies for a reason. I have had adsense on one at theliliknowDOTcom for about four months now and it pays me just $1/mo but I appreciate that.
Lets all remember that a few years back you make nothing while reading other people blogs and so knowing that I earn something little should inspire confidence. Lets stop talking abd complaining about money and contunually build value and trust me, the money wl come.
Instead of complaining, why mot all of us make a commitment to produce a 300 page website and give ourselves a year and see what happens. I sorely believe we will all succeed someday provided we dont quit and write about things we are passionate about.
Thanks for this lovely community Yaro and all my fellow bloggers. We will surely meet again!
Great article. Have been looking for ways to monetize my site for a while now but not sure which way to go with it. Stats are good and always have been, Oct was 1.4 million page views. I think my main issue is the format of the site. I have a front end and then a forum. The forum is where the main activity is but advertising in that sort of space is difficult because of the nature of how it works. I supposed I could add a blog?
hi.. first thanks for your great post..
I would like to use CPM ads in my blog..
I tried adhexa CPX24 and some… when I place an ad my website automatically redirected to ads website instead of showing ads..
please help me to solve the problem and suggest me three best CPM network..
thank you

This is my fourth set of Bridgestone Turanza tires. I first started with the discontinued Turanza LS-H and LS-V tires. They were great tires in both dry and wet conditions but the treadwear left a little to be desired. On my third set, they switched the compound up and made the treadwear last longer (the LS was dropped and became Serenity). I thought that these tires although good lacked the wet weather traction the previous models had. Now on my fourth set with the Serenity Plus, still a great tire. Very quiet and responsive on the road. Braking is much more confident and the ride is very smooth. I haven't tested it in the rain hard but on a wet morning they seemed sticky enough. I recommend these tires if you want a smooth and quiet ride in all conditions. As long as Bridgestone continues to put out a quality product like this, I will always have them on my vehicles.

(CBS News) In a matter of days, Gabby Douglas has become a household name. The 4-foot-11 16-year-old became the first African-American woman to win an all-around Olympic gymnastics title - the sport's ultimate prize. She's won two gold medals so far and is already on the cover of a Corn Flakes box.
But the rise to the top wasn't easy. As you can see in this video, Douglas has been training for two years with coach Liang Chow in West Des Moines, Iowa and hasn't been home to Virginia Beach since then. Douglas' mother, Natalie Hawkins, discussed the difficulty of living apart from her daughter for so long - and the gratification of seeing her hard work pay off.
"Letting go of Gabrielle was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life but it's now one of the most rewarding things that I've ever gotten to experience in my life," Hawkins said. "There's no greater joy than for a parent to see their child reach their dream."

Lady Flames Featured in Lacrosse Magazine
God Squad: How will Liberty University's new team mix the cross with lacrosse?
Regan Denham knows how to take on the challenge of building a women's lacrosse program at a Christian college. Two years ago she became the head coach at Missouri Baptist in the program's second year. Her only season resulted in a winning record.
That helped her get hired at Liberty University in May. But Liberty's program is the ground floor, not the second floor. And this isn't the NAIA like it was at Missouri Baptist or NCAA Division III like when she coached Springfield College to a winning record. This is NCAA Division I, and Liberty, located in the Bible Belt in Lynchburg, Va., is the school of Jerry Falwell and the most recognizable name in evangelical Christian higher education.
"She's a great fit for us, a perfect fit being the kind of person she is with her relationship with the Lord," Liberty athletic director Jeff Barber said. "She's done all the groundwork in other programs. She understands the game, has great passion for the game."
Denham, who finished her playing career at Division III Messiah College in 2004, understands the challenge she faces after filling her roster through an open tryout in early September. This first year is about building a foundation with the players she has and turning her recruiting focus toward Division I athletes who want to attend a Christian university.
Can those two segments mesh? Can Liberty replace "play hard, party hard" — a mantra that has defined at least a part of lacrosse's culture for years — with "play hard, pray hard?"
"I think there are girls definitely looking for this opportunity," Denham said.
All Liberty students must sign the code of conduct, called "The Liberty Way," to be admitted. This code includes standards for attire and hair, and it prohibits alcohol, drug use and sex outside of marriage. On-campus students are expected to attend chapel services three days a week.
Employees, though not students, must sign their agreement with a doctrinal statement that reaffirms their foundational beliefs in Christianity. Regardless, the message of Jesus Christ will resonate in class, in the dorms, in chapel and from coaches.
"Having that same world view and that same focus makes it very close knit," Denham said. "I think there's a lot of really good positive peer pressure here keeping you out of trouble, really focused on your spiritual life, your academic life, the whole person. And I think that's really what we offer, is educating the whole person."
Laura Miller has become a whole person at Liberty. In her fourth year there, she has played for the school's club team since arriving on campus. With the switch to NCAA play, she'll be a junior athletically.
She came for a degree in kinesiology so she can teach physical education and coach lacrosse. And she's enjoyed the kind of spiritual growth she didn't have in high school in Woodbridge, Va.
"I wasn't the greatest of all kids in high school," she said, "but coming here really turned my life around."
She listened for two years to the speculation that lacrosse might be added as a varsity sport. It wasn't until lacrosse got the most votes in a student survey that she knew she would have a chance to play in the NCAA.
"I never thought I would be playing Division I lacrosse," Miller said. "I'm very excited and I'm very blessed. God is the only way I'm on this team."
The experience of current students on campus can vouch for the school's positive effect on young adults, but can the Flames recruit the talented lacrosse players needed to win? On the surface, some aspects of the lacrosse lifestyle don't intuitively match the tenets of a religious college.
Judging from women's basketball, however, that answer could be yes. The Flames have recruited well enough to compete for and win conference championships. Liberty has been to 12 NCAA tournaments in 13 years.
Another challenge for lacrosse, though, is that elite play at the high school level hasn't yet caught up with increased national participation.
Liberty's backyard of Central and Southwestern Virginia has few high school programs, but Lynchburg is a day trip to Northern Virginia and Baltimore. Denham also will expand her recruiting efforts nationally to places like Colorado and California. Why? Liberty typically attracts students from across the country.
Denham's own experience as a lacrosse recruit in high school gives her hope. She was interested in Liberty but crossed it off her list when she found out there was no lacrosse team.
"I think there are Division I caliber athletes out there that are looking for the type of school that Liberty is," Denham said.
Liberty will join Presbyterian, Howard, Longwood, Detroit and fellow 2010 newcomer Jacksonville in the National Lacrosse Conference. Winning any games, even against recently established programs, will be difficult.
"I'm hoping that some of those girls realize what they're getting into and are ready for the challenge of competing in D-I," Denham said.
Barber added women's lacrosse to bring Liberty into line with Title IX requirements, and that had an immediate impact.
Sophomore Kristin Crowley left Colorado Springs, Colo., to play lacrosse at St. Bonaventure University in New York, despite an original desire to attend an evangelical Christian school.
With no such NCAA Division I opportunities in her sport, she went through the fall season and then began looking for a place to transfer.
When she heard Liberty was adding lacrosse, she got in touch with the school that day.
"I really enjoy the Christian atmosphere," Crowley said. "I enjoy having that support behind you, and it's that way with the team as well."

Related Topics:
The expanded line of Sphinx micro drills is made of fine-grained solid carbide and is said to deliver long tool life and consistent process reliability. One of the micro drills, available in diameters from 0.3 to 1.5 mm in steps of 0.01 mm, is offered with a 3-mm reinforced shank. The drill is available in standard lengths of 6 × D and can be run with or without coolant. It is suited for materials such as steel, aluminum and copper, as well as titanium and nickel alloys. The two-flute geometry delivers a point angle of 130 degrees and a helix angle of 35 degrees for precision and close tolerance, the company says. The second micro drill, available in steps of 0.05 mm, is offered in standard lengths at 10 to 15 × D. The two-flute geometry offers a point angle of 118 degrees and a helix angle of 25 degrees. The third micro drill is available in steps of 0.01 mm. The two-flute geometry offers a point angle of 118 degrees and a helix angle of 30 degrees. The drill is available in lengths of 6 × D and offers a positive tolerance. Also from Sphinx, the Phoenix drill line has expanded from 6 × D to include 3 × D and 12 × D. The drills are available in diameters from 1 to 12.7 mm in 0.1-mm increments, with coolant through from 2.5 mm in diameter and a Helica coating. This line of drills is made from solid carbide and is designed to cut extra-hard materials. Also on display will be the EWN digital boring head that offers diameter adjustments of 1 µm; the OPT1500 touch probe with an in-machine sensor that communicates directly with the control; and the benchtop Speroni Magis tool measurement and presetting system.

There are various tourist spots in Dumaguete that you must not miss if you are planning to go there. Shortlisted below are the most visited sites and historical sites in the city.
Dumaguete Belfry
Built in the year 1811, the Dumaguete Belfry or Bell Tower was used by the early locals as a way of avoiding pirate attacks. This historical structure stands tall next to the St. Catherine of Alexandria Church facing the Rizal Park. Through out the years, renovations have been made to restore the tower's beauty while still retaining its antiquity, which continues to gain distinction.
Rizal Boulevard is named after the country's National Hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal. It has been said that he made a stopover at this famous landmark of Dumaguete and strolled around before leaving for Dapitan, Dipolog City where Spanish officials had him exiled under suspicion of leading a revolution.
This historical place also serves as a Dumagueteño's day break getaway. Everyday, crowds can be seen enjoying the natural sea breeze and enjoying the pleasures of simple life.
St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral
This Cathedral was built during the Spanish times the same year the Belfry was erected. It has an open exterior where everyone is welcome to enter, pray, or just view its tranquil interior design.
Founded in August 28, 1901, Silliman University is the oldest American university in Asia and the first Protestant school established in the Philippines. Its old hallways have withstood the destructive events of World War II. Guests are recommended to view its old architectural structures along the busy streets of Dumaguete.
Dolphin and Whale Watching at Bais Bay
Located less than an hour away from the airport, Bais Bay is a haven for various species of dolphins and whales. You may see these friendly creatures swimming on the ocean as if partying for their freedom in their huge sanctuary. Some whale and dolphin species you can find are pantropical spotted dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, long snouted spinner dolphins, melon headed whales, short finned pilot whales, pygmy sperm whales, pygmy killer whales, and dwarf sperm whales.
Outside the Borders
Tourist spots never end inside the town itself. The most exciting and remarkable places in Dumaguete can also be seen outside the city borders.
Located at the rough mountains of Valencia less than an hour's drive from the city proper, Casaroro Falls is considered as a top destination for adventure tourists. At 100 feet in height but narrow unlike most waterfalls, the water gushes down intensely due to the high volume and gives the waterfall a solid white appearance. It is the most photographed waterfall in the whole province o f Negros. Its stiff and difficult trail is an exciting experience for adventure trekking.
Situated in Mabinay, Negros Oriental, Odloman cave was determined by the Belgian and Dutch cavers to be the second longest cave in the Philippines. Some of the popular chambers are Pandalihan, Panligawan and Gasidlak. Over 100 passage are noted here which is definitely a haven for spelunkers.
The Twin Lakes of Balinsasayao
The twin lakes of Balinsasayao (the collective name for Lakes Danao and Balinsasayao) are two small but deep freshwater crater lakes. Rising at 1000 feet above sea level and separated by a mountain ridge, Lake Danao lies to the southeast of the edge and Lake Balinsasayao to the northwest.
Considered as a natural park, its reserves are rich in different kinds of species of fish, forest animals and trees. Even the tallest tree in the country can be found here, the Almagica tree, which grows a rarely 60 meters in height. The Japanese night heron, an uncommon species, have been recorded to be seen in this area.
Apo Island is included on the Philippines' top 10 most popular snorkeling and dive spots. The marine reserves are protected by the National Integrated Protected Area Act (NIPA), sheltering over 400 species of coral reefs and 600 documented kinds of fishes. It is a key player to Negros' tourism and in fact has been featured in a number of diving magazines.
In 1996, the people of the Apo Island won an award for the best managed reef in the Philippines. The cash prize from this award was used for the innovation of the roadways to the town. Until now, the management of the Apo Island and its marine reserves are still protected not only by the government but by the concerned citizens of the island.
Siquijor Island is known by its nickname of "Island of Fire." The stories of witches and shamans from this island give it this impression. But despite this, Siquijor Island still remains to be a top tourist destination, having easy access from Dumaguete City and various tourists' spots via ferry.

PM: I Will Personally Intervene in Appointment of Next IDF Chief
The political establishment is bracing for a new clash between the prime and defense ministers, this time over the appointment of a new Israel Defense Forces chief of staff.
Defense Minister Amir Peretz's preferred replacement for Dan Halutz, who resigned on Wednesday, is Defense Ministry Director General Gabi Ashkenazi. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's preferences are less clear, but he is thought to favor Deputy Chief of Staff Moshe Kaplinsky.
Tensions between the two ministers were already visible last night, after Olmert's office announced that the prime minister intended to lead the process of choosing a new chief of staff.
Olmert wants to finalize the choice and bring it to the cabinet for approval within 10 days. Peretz also wants the decision made quickly, and therefore met yesterday with all three leading candidates: Ashkenazi, Kaplinsky and Commander of the Ground Forces Benny Gantz. The latter is considered a relative long shot.
Legally, only the defense minister is authorized to propose a candidate to the cabinet. However, Olmert announced yesterday that he intends to play an active role in the process, and he has spoken with several senior officials over the last month to get their opinions on the various candidates to succeed Halutz. Given the already poor relationship between the two men, this could set the stage for another blowup.
Another possibility is that Olmert might take advantage of Halutz's resignation to fire Peretz - something that some of his advisers have been urging him to do. In that case, Olmert might replace Peretz with former prime minister Ehud Barak, who is currently running against Peretz for the Labor Party leadership.
Peretz announced yesterday that he has no intention of following Halutz's example and resigning voluntarily; rather, he said at an army graduation ceremony last night, he intends to remain on the job "and invest what is needed in order to implement the conclusions and lessons" of the various inquiries into the war.
According to Olmert's associates, the prime minister plans to consult with several other people about Halutz's replacement, including former defense ministers Shaul Mofaz, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer and Moshe Arens; former premiers Barak, Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres; former IDF chiefs of staff and reservist generals; Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni; and Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Tzachi Hanegbi. However, he will give special weight to the views of Barak and MK Ami Ayalon, who are the two leading contenders in the Labor leadership race and the most likely replacements for Peretz as defense minister. Both men are former senior defense officials.
Olmert said yesterday that he also plans to request an opinion from the Winograd Committee, which is investigating the war, so that the cabinet will not appoint someone whom the committee's probe has already revealed to be unsuitable. "We wouldn't want to appoint a chief of staff who will be receiving a warning letter from the committee a month later," explained an Olmert associate. However, it seems doubtful that the committee will accede to Olmert's request.
Several members of the IDF General Staff expressed support for Ashkenazi's candidacy yesterday, saying that the IDF needs an "outsider" to rehabilitate it after last summer's war in Lebanon. Ashkenazi left the IDF almost two years ago, and was therefore not directly implicated in the war's failures.
Halutz announced yesterday that he will remain on the job for another few weeks, in order to ensure an orderly transition for his successor.

The Perils of Going Public
When Ely Callaway took his eponymous equipment company public in 1992, it was a signal event for the golf industry. For Callaway himself, a feisty 72-year-old who years earlier had been pushed out of his job as president of a prominent textile company, the successful offering served as a redemption of sorts. And with Callaway Golf's (ELY) stock up more than eightfold in the first years after the deal, the offering convinced plenty of other entrepreneurs that Wall Street was the road to riches.
But for many of those entrepreneurs—and their investors—becoming a public company has been the equivalent of taking a header into a lake in a golf cart. In the years since Ely's big strike, the number of golf businesses that have flourished on stock exchanges can be counted on one hand, and the number that have fizzled out either on the way to or after an initial public offering are legion: Orlimar, TearDrop, Natural Golf, and Coastcast, just to name a few. Even among survivors, the returns haven't been stellar. In the past seven years the companies in the BusinessWeek/Golf Digest Golf-Stock Index have declined an average 15.5%, vs. the 10.9% gain recorded by the broader Standard & Poor's 500-stock index during the same period.
Moreover, while investors once clamored to buy into such hot IPOs as Adams Golf (ADGF), the stock market's appetite for the industry has waned. One leading analyst who helped take Natural Golf public in 2003 says he and his firm's investment bankers now discourage most golf entrepreneurs who approach them. "We tell the vast majority of them no, no, and no,'" says Casey Alexander, an analyst at New York-based Gilford Securities who holds Callaway in a fund he manages. "Most of the time, investing in the golf industry is akin to sinking your feet in cement shoes, and why would I do that to my clients?" No less than Jack Nicklaus has called his decision in 1996 to take public his course-construction company, Golden Bear Golf, "the biggest mistake I ever made." Nicklaus reacquired Golden Bear four years later amid accounting irregularities committed by the managers he'd hired.
What's making life so hard for public companies is the same challenge affecting the broader industry: The number of golfers and of dollars spent on the sport has been virtually flat since the start of the decade. So for companies to boost their profits and stock price, which is an imperative for any CEO who wants to keep shareholders happy, they must expand overseas or steal market share from rivals at home. That, or resort to creative means to book sales: As recently as the 1990s, struggling companies at risk of not hitting projected profits often would offer retailers incredible bargains on equipment, but only if they made orders and took delivery before the end of the quarter.
"At the end, my joke was that if you bought anything before the end of the quarter from [one company], you paid too much," says Leigh Bader, owner of the 3balls.com retail site and the PGA National Merchandiser of the Year in 1995 and 2001. Bader also recalls that during the 1990s, another struggling equipment maker called and asked to store 1,000 sets of irons in his warehouses, with no money changing hands.
Bader says at first he agreed, taking the move at face value, but as the year dragged on he began to wonder whether the company—which he won't identify—requested he take receipt of the irons so it could record the maneuver as a sale (a borderline practice at the time known as "channel stuffing"). After a year, "I called them and said they had a week to pick them up or we were putting them outside the building and they could sit in the rain," Bader says.
Such practices are rare these days because of post-Enron reforms designed to cut down on the accounting games companies can play. Management teams have been beefed up, with one leading company recruiting from the likes of Procter & Gamble (PG) and Unilever Group.
The shift toward going public has created ripple effects throughout the industry. To present shareholders with higher revenue even as the market remains flat, companies have to figure out how to persuade the 13 million golfers who account for 91% of equipment spending to buy more. And that has meant constantly refreshing their product lines with new-and-improved models. "Golf has become just like the fashion industry," says Hayley Wolff, a senior analyst for New York-based Rochdale Securities who has a "hold" rating on the two golf stocks she follows, Callaway and retailer GolfSmith International. "A hot driver used to last four years, then two years. Now it's down to one year—or less."
Experts say these grow-or-else pressures, coupled with U.S. Golf Assn. restrictions on innovation and consumer fatigue with technology, have also helped contribute to a number of high-stakes patent-infringement suits filed by companies hoping to extract royalties or hefty settlements from rivals. At the moment, Callaway has a suit against Acushnet over its ball patents, and Acushnet filed counterclaims against Callaway over clubhead patents. TaylorMade and Callaway sued each other over ball and driver disputes before settling last December. And Bridgestone Sports reached a settlement last fall with Acushnet that includes back-license fees, plus future royalties on the sale of some of its ball lines.
To be sure, some industry executives believe there are benefits to going public, not least that it allows entrepreneurs the chance to enjoy a payday for the years of toil involved in building a successful company in a cutthroat business. Going public also provides companies with a certain cachet and profile that many private outfits lack. And make no mistake, Wall Street has shown a soft spot for hot golf companies: Ely Callaway famously joked that the reason his stock performed well was that so many analysts and professional money managers were avid golfers.
On the other hand, some CEOs of public golf companies lament the high costs of complying with the accounting reforms. And they say having to disclose financial results—everything from margins to receivables—is one step short of revealing trade secrets to their mostly private rivals. "There are a lot of questions from shareholders that I'd like to address on our [quarterly] earnings calls, but I usually just say I can't comment for competitive reasons,'" says Peter Mathewson, CEO of Aldila, a Poway (Calif.) maker of golf shafts. "We're the only public company in our segment, and that creates a disadvantage."
And if your company stumbles, delivering earnings for several quarters that are below the Street's expectations, you can expect an opportunistic hedge fund manager or buyout firm to pounce and demand a breakup or sale to boost shareholder returns. That happened to Callaway. After a string of poor results in 2005, the company received two separate offers from buyout groups led by Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners. In both instances, Callaway rebuffed the offers, and in the end the firms "found something else to focus on," notes Callaway CEO George Fellows. And though the Callaway board's belief that a turnaround was at hand now looks prescient—the company swung from a $10 million loss in 2004 to a $54 million profit last year—its stock remains stuck in the mid-teens, or roughly where it was at the time of the bids. If Callaway can't get more love from Wall Street, it could find itself in private hands once again.

I was in Mumbai for last 3 days & stayed in Andheri hotel & it was my first visit there.
Day 1: Went to bandra (E), tried to check action in front of MacDonald's, but not able to get anything.
Then went to a small place (next to Subway) in Bandra & selected one gal from orrisa (5/10). Attitude of the GAL was good, had CBJ & then actual work- Total damage 1700+ 200 tip.
Evening straight headed towards Panwel, reached Saptagiri Bar. Selected one Bengali GAL (6/10), she asked for 1000+300 for room, came back to bar after completing that & selected another GAL from MP Chandini (8/10) she was real tight & had nice time with her.
Day 2: During day time again went to Banda on my junior's request & selected one orrissa lady (28 Y) this time but got an excellent service.
Evening again went to Panwel & this time went to Kapal Bar but exp was not that good.

Visited a famous bar in Dahisar naka around at 8 pm. I was looking for a prey when I saw a flash light coming and the darkness for 30 sec. In the same time all girls were gone. I saw the police guys coming in. Watching the orcherstra bar people singing and a one or two sari wearing girls standing.
Went off and in another 4 min all those beauties were back in room.
Seems to be a good setup for them.
Took a girl for ST for 1. 5k good stuff. No BJ.

Mumbai Vashi Report
I had been to Mumbai around 5 yrs ago. Panvel was hot then, I had an excellent time. This time when I wen to Mumbai on 10th December, even tho times have changed for worst, I was still expecting excellent time and I was right.
First nite I spent in hotel in Kopar Khairane, don't remember the name, will fill it up when I recall. This place was meant for girls to be brought in. I watched in awe as one boy brought an amazingly cute girl I have ever seen, she must have been a decent girl, she was extremely shy and kept on trying to hide her face. There were other people tho who vr bringing professionals as a matter of fact, no prob. But, v vr there for 3 day stay biz tour. The place and service was stinking. Next day complained to the manager. He was very happy to see us go. In next 3 days, we changed 3 hotels. It took us time to realise that every hotel that we went would be happy to serve for at the max 2 hours, after that you are a pain in the ass for them. Since, they don't know who you might be, they do give you a room, but, make every effort to kick you out ASAP.
Nyways, at every hotel I asked the counter and the waiter for an item (acronym for a girl there) and nobody wud help, even for a tip. Got desperate and asked a friend out. He took me to Kapil Bar in Vashi. I don't know the exact location, but, trust me, ask anyone auto at Vashi for any bar, even if you have no clue, he will take you to something gud, it is very common. Mostly, auto don't expect anything extra for this, a 10/- tip wud be gud.
However, we were late drinking whisky at hotel, the bar was closed. But, the girls leaving the bar looked good, 4 to 8 out of 10. Then, my friend took me to Navrang Bar, just behind Kapil, in some obscure lane, very difficult to reach untill and unless the auto driver knows about it. The girls were bad- 4/5. Sat there for some, scanning for girls. Found one 5/10, called her. Caught her hand and asked her, she said she wasnt interested and left. I wasnt much in a mood anyway. Spent some time again scanning the scene. Then, one friend turned terribly drunk, had to be lifted to the hotel.
Now, I had nothing for second day, was horny seeing all the Pros coming and going in the hotel and very bad mood and tired.
He immediately dispatched 2 girls for me! It was instant, I wasnt expecting anything that fast.
Both the girls were good. I liked the one who was around 5. 5' in height, slim, marathi and looks 6/10. Price Rs. 3, 500 including the girl and the pimp, negotiated to 3, 400. The girl was good, talked friendly. More than the looks, it was her desire to please that was good. She took bath and came out in towel. I always want the girl to take a bath, here she was ready for it before asking, no issues. The body was unexpectly excellent, 8/10. Smooth young skin, fair by Mumbai standard, fairer than her face, which was slightly dark, Very slim, tall and big bonkers, exactly as I would like them to be, model like. If somebody is looking for slim body, she deservers 10/10. I prefer slightly petite, so gave her 2 marks less. Even with face, since, I have foreign experiences, I might be harsh, she had a cute marathi face, big eyes. She probably deserves more marks, Eyes definitely 10/10, big naughty smiling eyes. Age might be around 20-22, did not ask, they lie anyway. She didn't like BJ, I didn't insisted on it either, Went for straight missionary. She tried doggy, but, was in pain, so again back to missionary. But, she was in no hurry. Even after it, she was sweet, not hurrying to leave. I liked this very much and tipped her a 100 more. Her name was Sunita I think, she also gave her mobile number, but, she would come throgh the pimp only, no direct. Mobile was for Time pass. Damage 3400 (girl) + 100 (Tip) + 350 Room Rent. This room was bad. There is good room for 900, I stayed in that room for 1 day. But, I checked out at 11:00 and after that when I asked for it, it was booked. I was lodged at Sai Guest House, sector 19, Vashi, just behind DCP Office!

While on a recent visit to Mumbai, I decided to visit the stores around Lamington Road to purchase some computer accessories. I happened to be with this friend with whom I had mongered every evening (for two years) nearly 10 years ago. (We both live in the USA now).
Just walking around in that area brought back old memories and we headed towards Congress house to see what kind of action would be available at the time of the day. It was around 4:30 PM, which is relatively early. We saw a lot of hotties getting into cabs in front of Congress house. These girls were well dressed with nice make-up on. We were approached by a pimp who informed us that these girls were all headed to the orchestra bars that also doubled as pickup joints. He offered to take us around the brothels for Rs 50 (he initially did not quote any amount - saying that we could settle that after we select a girl. We insisted on setting his fee upfront to avoid arguments later on).
We did not want to spend more than Rs 600 per girl and firmly told the pimp to inform the brothel owners in advance. Over the next 20 minutes or so, we went through a lineup of about 30 girls in 4 different brothels in the congress house area. We were told that the lineup gets better later in the evening.
At the fourth brothel we visited, I selected a lovely young Bangla girl named Riya. I paid the 600 bucks to the "manager" of the brothel and had to fork out another 50 bucks for the condom and towels.
Riya's performance was out of this world. For the very first time in India I recieved a decent blow job. She had a hot little body and a very friendly attitude which is very rare. The sex was intense and I was comletely satiated by the end of the session.
We proceeded to the next brothel since my friend had not found anyone of interest yet. He finally selected an amazingly gorgeous girl named Pinky there (this place was directly above the place Riya was in). Pinky looks like a North Indian and is actually a Nepali from Calcutta. No one would guess that until she opens her mouth. She looks and dresses like a model and could give any guy a hard on even with her clothes on :-) He paid the same amount of money. While Pinky looked very hot, he did not seem very happy after the session. According to him, they did not "click".
We then proceeded to our old haunt... a Nepali joint in Kamathipura. It was getting dark by the time we reached there and had a tough time loctating the place we frequented 10 years ago ! We had to fight off a lot of irritating pimps before we entered a Nepali place that was not the same as the old one. After my intense workout with Riya, I was in no mood for another round. My friend paid Rs 160 for a hot nepali girl. The session was average, but at that price, a total bargain.
I could not get the image of Pinky out of my mind. I went back the following week to have a great session with her. The view during doggie could easily qualify as the 8th wonder of the world. She has a very sexy body and enjoys being fondled. This time I only paid 600 bucks. They did not charge me extra for the condoms/towels and no pimp was involved. I gave Pinky a 100 bucks at the end of the session as a tip.

Nerul outlets ,,,
The nerul circuit is in full swing. Iam tlking about WH near the flyover on the Mumbai-pune highway. This place opnes around 6pm, gains momentum by 7-8pm closes by 11; 30pm. Was there last night. Unfortunately the disco section was closed early (11), but asked the waiter about any chicks available for ST. After some hesitation he guided me to adjacent building compound where I saw 3-4 Vans fully loaded with girls (most from congress house and chembur areas). Quickly selected one for 1500 rs with AC room for 400. So-So experience. Girls seemed to be in a hurry, but can't blame her as it was already 12am. Total damage 2000 with tips to waiter etc. But at least things are available. Best time to go by 9-10pm. Rooms are just ok. Not very clean. But passable. Beer I think is 280 rs. And around 40 girls present.

man I spend far too much time in Voodoo I am living out here at the moment, I am white guy and can speak basic Hindi, I've only ever had 2 girls from Voodoo, 1 st one was a Nepali girl. She was great fun a full GF experience, had her a second time but then she got real greedy for money and she turned real nasty
Now a lot of you guys may call me a cheap charlie but I reckon these girls are asking for a lot of cash when you look at the economics of India. Take Thailand for example you can have a girl all night for equivalent of 2000 Indian Rupess. The people who work in my hotel (5 star) earn 6000 rupees a month and they are very educated people. Degrees etc
I've offered 4000 rupees to some girls from Voodoo for LT and they turn it down, I dropped one girl off home in a taxi and she lives practically in a slum. Surely she'd could do with the money
Second girl I had was very good looking, but I got her back to my hotel and she's throwing up from drinking too much. I take good care of her. Not pushy at all & let her sleep it off (Man there's no way I'm gonna molest a woman who's out of it), morning time quick session and she's complaing telling me to finish quick. I later find out she has a husband who bashes her up. Sad story really and all round a bad experience. Gave her 3K. She calls me up next day asking for another 3K. Politely told her I am not an ATM. She then blames me for her old man bashing her up, says she's coming my hotel etc
Also in voodoo some of the better looking girls upstairs have bad attitudes, real rude. It puts you off from the start,

Went to Voodoo on Sunday night in the middle of a blitz India trip. Key points:
It opened at 9:30 pm: kinda late.
Staff was a bit rude and almost robbed me of my money I thought.
Ladies were slowly rolling in. 8 girls for 8 guys.
4 were 4-5 rating, 2 were 6 rating and 2 very 7-8. I partook with the 8: a girl called Nikki. She negotiated for 4k for ST (high I know, but I really can afford it but I wanted to help the girl as much as I could. The only people who lose are you mongers: sorry guys). But this Nikki was around 18 years old .. too young for my taste.
Nikki barely spoke English but I know Hindi so we connected. She seemed slim and had cat eyes with heavy make up.
We went to a hotel nearby in my personal cab that I had hired for the day. During the 8 minute ride she spoke with some guy on her phone: seemed to be her lazy boyfriend or something like that. She was fighting with him saying she did not want to work that night and I would be her last customer. But he asked her to work on. This girl was barely 18 and I could see she was being exploited by this guy who sounded so much older over the phone (30-40 or so). Anyway, I carried on as I probably would have made it worse for her if I decided to head back to Voodoo.
Once we arrived at the hourly hotel room she suggested it was stinking filthy and to my relief she thought the same and asked for a nicer room. This one did not stink at least.
We undressed and at this point she asked for more money. My alarm bells rang and this moment is the most unsatisfying one in a monger's fun. I told her not to worry about money if she did not rush me and DFKed and things like that. I ended up paying her that extra 1k in advance.
But then this girl melted like a kitten in my arms and gave good service for her age and country. She also got on top of me and LFKed me. Her body was firm. But her tight jeans were actually packing her baby fat and I knew she was more like a 6 or so under the full light. Her body was tight and I was afraid if she was even 18 or not. I am a consensual sex kinda guy and sex with a minor is not something I ever can enjoy. In fact I do not enjoy sex with anyone under 24-26 age. But this girl knew what she was doing.
She did not offer BJ and refused. I accepted this and went on to cowgirl, doggie and finally missionary. Her pussy was the tightest I have ever seen in my life. She was not that good in bed but her tightness was what did it for me. I shot my load and she did not change her expression. This told me that she was a veteran and her lack of pretense further added to the business like experience. I would not repeat.
Voodoo is a skank house. But it must be better than any other options in Mumbai or India. I will avoid Voodoo or might just go for the shock/grime factor.

Scotland's renewable energy output increased by 45% in the first quarter of this year, compared with the same period last year.
UK government figures showed Scotland generated 4,590 gigawatt hours (GWh) of renewable energy in the first three months of 2012.
This was an increase of 1,435 GWh on the first quarter of 2011.
Scotland is aiming to generate the equivalent of 100% of its electricity needs from renewables by 2020.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change also issued revised statistics for 2011 which showed that renewable electricity generation in Scotland was 13,735 GWh in 2011, an increase of 44.3% from 2010 and up 97.3% from 2006.
The Scottish government said that, assuming gross consumption in 2011 was similar to 2010, about 35% of Scotland's electricity needs came from renewables in 2011, beating its interim target of 31%.
'World leader'Scottish Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said the figures showed the country was making good progress towards the 2020 target.
He added: "The increase of 45.5% in renewable output in quarter one 2012 compared to quarter one 2011 is particularly encouraging when you consider that 2011 saw the highest output from renewable energy to date.
