It pretends to be this models 'official site', with a big picture of her basically saying 'welcome to my web site'!!
Also the URL is her name to! 'TheModelInQuestion.com'

I agree about trying to resolve this situation amicably, but the idea of somekind of traffic deal is frankly quite sickening.
There cant be two 'official' sites linking to each other with banner adds can there!?

The other site would have to stop claiming to be her I guess before a deal. Agreed????

No offense but that is normal. You don't expect the guy to try to sell a site not promoting it as her REAL site?

Play nice but tough and ask him to remove the official part or you will persue it via a lawyer.

If she signed a model release for content and NOT the name then later go after him for the domain al together and take the whole thing from him but after he has changed the design to drop the Official Site of part.
