I don't understand what you mean by "the cleverness of connecting the dots" or why you would feel personally attacked. My point was that I, a potential customer -- this really is directly relevant to my current life situation -- visited the site, found nothing there but an email harvester, so left without spending any money and with a poor impression of the company. Driving people to your site before there's anything there is wasted effort. Save it for when you're actually ready to do something with that traffic.
