"Crack Whore Stories" would be valid SEM
It is a very simple theory.
Bring us additional traffic and sales to get paid.
All of this has been explained to Shoehorn while he was lying about what keywords he purchased. Stating that the domain name wasn't purchased and that he was using other misspelled versions.
After many discussions it has been proven that the only "performance" his PPC campaign had was our own domain name.
So now we have a lying affiliate that misrepresented his campaigns complaining about not getting paid for siphoning our typeins.
He was kind enough to send a screenshot that proved what keywords were purchased and proved that he was lying and misrepresenting his campaign to us.
Very much like the situation is not clearly explained by him.
SEO on a site that ranks better than ours - lol

Really? because I typed in two search phrases with "crack whore confessions" and i dont see your site listed in the top few. The second one, your not even on the first page!
So how would bidding on that term steal type in sales? Maybe from rabbit reviews, but not from your site if your not even listed. I can see if he is bidding on exact match on the domain or even the site, but if its phrase or broad match, I don't see why you wouldn't pay him as here is proof there is traffic that is not siphoning your type-ins
search for "free pictures from crack whore confessions"
search for "is crack whore confessions worth joining?"
Honestly I have no beef with you Dirty D and your business but I think there are other ways to bring in more traffic with bidding on names. Ive been doing this for a long time and make a good amount of money from it. Also, I spend 95% of my day working in AdWords for client accounts spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on similar searches and respond with the same when they ask "why are we bidding on our own name?"
Truth is there is 1000s of other searches containing your name that you are not showing up for. IMO, i would strickly say you can NOT bid on the exact name and domain name and call it a day, otherwise a lot of people are going to look negatively on this
