My ReeceiptWallet sales yesterday were down significantly (I sold 1 copy) which I thought was extremely odd. When I checked my logs today, I saw that no one had visited my site yesterday which was impossible as search bots hit it all the time. I logged into an outside server I have access to and [...]
