I can see it’s frustrating … although it’s pretty rare that a mention like that will rank above you in search engine listings ….
And can you really trademark a website name and prevent people from writing about it ?
Common brands like Microsoft, Google, (et al) along with various news sites and portals are unable to do so – so is it really possible to stop people mentioning Drawdead ?

As an example … I put in my website name “GoonersGuide” (which i’m sure you’ll agree is not a common usage word) … and Google reported 17,800 matches.
I cannot see how it’s hurting my site – nor can I see how what they are doing is in anyway illegal? They haven’t stolen copy …
Not wanting to start a fight – but exactly how is this an affiliate issue? And why should the website change their text ?
