1) Have you tried opening you server logs and checking main "refferers" which used to send you traffic.
2) You can check cache of your pages in Search Engines and if your cache with them is different then what you have, then probably it might be hijacked but thats i think an exception.
For Suggestion number 2) do this
go to google.com
type
site:http://your-site.com
for example
site:http://www.webmasterworld.com
google will return you pages if your site is cached with them, instead of clicking on the main link , click on the link named "Cache" or "Cached Page" below each link google returns.. they ll show you your pages as they see ;)
For option 1) which hosting panel do you use? i mean which web interface you use to manage your website? like cpanel?vdeck?webmin... etc
Leme know so that i can suggest
I looked at the cached page in Google and MSN. Both had older versions of my site, but it was my site. What should I be looking for?
That atleast answers to some extent your main question that your site isnt hijacked.
In vDeck i am sure there will be a server log analyzer for your domain, you need to look Refferers in that log which will give you a basic hint of where your traffic was mostly coming from and then you can check those places to see whats wrong, If you cannot find log analyzer then you can FTP your website and alongwith your public_html directory OR in that directory you will see access_log file. download that file locally to your computer and check entries of who is sending you traffic.
I guess i am like unable to pinpoint exactly what we need to do to find out whats wrong? i mean my suggestions i think arent going to the point exactly, anyone reading this post, can please assist us?
Looks like some Misconfiguration is causing Mis reporting of the traffic, Lets wait for your logs. Because apache's actual logs will give us acurate and exact statistics of whats going on, we can then study different aspects.
Please Leme know when your logs are up.
Thanks
