I find this kinda strange. - GoFuckYourself.com

I have a couple of sites that are not fully functional and live yet. One of them is ready to go except for the content management script which needs to be tweaked. The site is loaded with content and the tour says it updates daily. The script even shows the dates of each update.

What I find odd is that this site has not been released but it is getting type-in traffic which is joining. Now that in itself is not so strange...BUT.....The tour is dynamic and not functioning correctly because of the needed tweaks to the CMS and the main billing options are not linked yet, only the backup billing.

So.....These people are reviewing a site with a non-functioning tour then trying to sign up through non-functioning billing and THEN 7 of them have signed up through 123bill.com as an alternative billing option.

Of those 7 members.....Only one has cancelled. The others have all stuck around. The site is full of exclusive content, it's just not updating.

Check your web stats. Somebody may have stumbled onto your site and mentioned it in their blog.

Or a search engine picked you up and your getting traffic from them.

Probably SE traffic, check your reffers.

I really don't care where the traffic is coming from. That's not what I find strange.

Would you join a paysite that had a non-functioning tour and the primary billing option links were broken? If so, would you stay a member when the site never updates as mentioned?
