When you have a new site that normally gets several hundred views a month and your weekly report comes in like this

You can be sure something is broken and it probably has something to do with Google not sending you any traffic. Its always something. This is a site that I haven’t been working because I want to move it from PixelPost to Wordpress before investing any more time, but still… I like some traffic coming in.

This is what I got for my first order of business today…

In case the image is too small it reads:

I know I work fast but this is ridiculous. AVG is up-to-date and reports no infection and AntiMalware Bytes is running right now but I am 99.99% certain I am not infected with anything doing automated Google queries.

I was having problems with GoDady last night while uploading some Wordpress Updates to a client’s account but that seems to have been a GoDaddy problem. Of course CMA Acces high-speed Internet cable here in Angleton sux the big one and I recommend avoid the service if you can get DSL. The added speed of cable is substantially mitigated by the continual Connection Reset By Peer errors. In many cases wireless Internet is faster than CMA Access Cable Internet. Getting a reset error really fast is hardly worth it. And they charge twice as much for worse service.

As I thought, AntiMalware Bytes also reports nothing.

I hope this is a one-off and I don’t need to start worrying about entering captcha codes to use Google search. I get the codes wrong about 1 out of 3 times.
