Traffic leak - AFF hack?

Hi,

So about a month ago traffic to my website decreased by around 20%. Initially I though it was google panda update and I was out of luck. The website is hornygamer.com

However, I noticed something weird - traffic has decreased by a similar percentages from all sources - organic, direct, and referral.

I am using trade expert paid version, as well as google analytics they both show a decrease in traffic from all sources, which made be alarmed, especially since I know for a fact that the traffic from certain referrals did not change.

So, I made the following test:

I purchased a monthly advert on juicyads and sent the traffic to hornygamer.com for about a week. Juicyads said the incoming traffic was about 400/day. Google analytics said it's about 200/day.

Then after a week, I modified the juicyads advert only by changing the URL, leaving the banner the same, and I directed the traffic to a different website. Juicyads reported roughly similar daily traffic sent. However, the google analytics on my other website reported stats a lot more closer to juicyads figures.

So, this led me to believe something is not right.

Then right now I went on a bunch of proxy servers, and tried to access hornygamer.com First few times everything loaded normally, but then some proxy servers redirected to adultfriendfinder!

So, I am suspecting that somewhere on my server there's some sneaky code that is hijacking a percentage of my traffic to AFF.

Did this happen to anyone here before? Can you guys check if you get anything from adultfriendfinder when going to hornygamer.com? I got no pop-ups, sliders, or pop-unders, or redirects.
