Analyzing possible WordPress hacking

I have just been checking the yearly stats for a blog I manage, and there is one post from 2008 that is getting a LOT of views, which doesn't make any sense as the info in it is outdated.

I pulled the access_log entries for this post and am finding a lot of referrers from cials-pills-online.info and sites like that. Not a lot of entries for any one of these sites, but say 20-30 a month.

I have looked around the site and can't see anything obvious amiss. Can anyone tell me where to look and what to look for to see if there's any monkey business related to this post?

Well there is a rather simple way to see if it is really monkey business or not if you dont need it delete the post and resubmit it it really depends on the post what is it on maybe you just did some great SEO or are ranking for a relative keyword. If they are leaving comments maybe its just for backlinks this happens when you have a post that is for example my site is on planes and i make a post on cars so I get people that want backlinks from a site on cars There are also a lot of great security plugins just search in plugins
