Ok great, so uh.. who is putting the "hit out" so to speak? Clearly a model or agency. So what happens when I reply back.. "Ok, well it seems this model or agency doesn't want my website, an affiliate promoting your company to exist on Google for her name or terms through your paysite."

"I'm sorry to hear that, tell us what we can do".

Never know how to answer. Go after the model? Cool then she doesn't work for them anymore.

Go after agency? Not a single paysite really does this beyond an angry email and a promise of being whitelisted, and good luck if the agency doesn't respond to anyone.

Fun shit.
