I just got an email which raises a couple of points I would like to address here:
1. I was asked about ever being asked to take the site down by her agency.
This has never happened because her agency knows about it from me, I had asked for some promo material and they quite liked the site (although couldn't offer me anything :-\). They also provided me her agent in the companies direct details to forward work enquiries as this site often gets mistaken for her official site, despite the disclaimer. (I have never forwarded anything though)
2. It was also mentioned a lot of the traffic is pushed from sites I own.
This is not the case, as shown above most of the traffic comes from Google, and the traffic that comes from external links does not come from mine. In fact last month (may) only one of my sites (eroticle.com) was in the top 25 referrers with just 198 hits. Most of the links are from sites that choose to link it themselves I never asked for links or bought them. For example freeones sent over 1500 last month and there is another site that sends a few thousand also.
So even if I pulled all the links on my sites you wouldn't notice it. (I wouldn't pull the eroticle link anyway it is a free directory website)
Hope that eases some peoples concerns.
David
