You're right if I am not your affiliate you can't police it. So you can do 2 things:
1. stop what you can by telling your affiliates to not do it and leave the door wide open for your competitors.
2. or encourage/allow your affiliates to help you "police" it to at least make sure all of the traffic stays going to your site where you make something opposed to it going to a competitor where you make dick.
Well you could do a 3rd thing and TM it, but you still would have to police it, likely causing less people to mess with that keyword. But if your domain is generic you probably wont even have the chance to TM it.

Sure they are most likely looking for her in all cases. A model's name is a little more targeted than a keyword phrase like "crackwhore confessions". But never the less that really doesn't change anything. They might be looking for a milf blonde with big tits that is into fetish stuff saw your girl on a banner or something then went back later to look for her. They might not be in love with her, just a fan of the niche so any similar site would do. I doubt your model / site is the only one out there like that. If I showed them a similar girl /site chances are they would be fine with it. If they were that dead set on your model in the first place they probably wouldn't be on google typing in her name, they would have bookmarked the site or remembered the name. It just goes to show that somethign made them go back and search for her, to find free porn of her, to find her site, to find other models that look like her, could be serveral reasons. If i provided them with a similar looking model / site or one with even lower membership fees, more content etc.... I would bet I wouldn't have that bad of a conversion ratio.

I'm not impressed with the look of the DenniO site, that is not what I would send to if I was targeting your keywords. But honestly does it make a difference to you if DenniO is making money or not, you are still loosing "your" traffic to them.
