interesting...

very interesting...

i can see why that would be the case- updates are likely a huge concern just before surfers join... i'll bet they hold their credit card in their hand quite a bit and think "if I sign up for this, am i just going to get access to a site that is stale and hasn't been updated in six months"...

there are a lot of sites out there like that, and i'll bet many surfers feel burned after having signed up for them...

your new approach really distinguishes your site in that regard...

incidentally, this is something that the folks at AbbyWinters.com do really well... they have a blog as their main page that lists all the updates, a "what's coming up in the next two weeks" list on the left hand side of the blog, and a weekly-updated video "newsletter" on the right hand side of the blog... the surfer is hit with the "you are going to get tons" of updates message three times!!!! (but then their tour sucks, but that's another story)
