this is the world we are living in. you need to get on a host that can handle it. you're probably being penalized in one of many ways for the Chinese hits.
in your situation, your domain may have been blacklisted at the affiliate or google because of the Chinese hits. one thing i saw a client do was redirect all Chinese traffic to google. then he wondered why his PR dropped.
you have to either block that traffic or offload it (not to google). we actually block all of China, but their telecoms issue new IPs every week. i'd have a chat with your host. they might be able to plug in a network-level firewall cheap. everyone is freaking out about ddos these days.
good luck!

Hey, thanks for the info. The site doesn't have any trouble with speed, or staying up, just a few Chinese links coming in every week or so. Last year at this time we were doing between 2000-6000 daily Uniques, nearly all US traffic. It converted amazingly well and the site made decent cash. Now it's between 1000-3000 daily Uniques, almost 100% Chinese, but I haven't really done any link-building **at all** (just new territory, and always heard it was best to get a natural profile), so our number of American links is very small now in comparison.
Do you think it is possible that I just need to build more relevant American links, and perhaps disavow the Chinese ones? (sorry if the question seems stupid, there is just so much different information out there and I am just starting to get my footing with the whole SEO/Linkbuilding thing).
