It’s virtually impossible to visit every page of a website (well, except for very small websites). And until you try to visit a page or use a feature, you don’t know whether that feature works or not—that’s why testing software in general is so hard. You can’t really know if you’re visiting a cardboard town until you’ve visited everything.
For instance, there’s an MP3 download website called gomar-krakow.com (I’m not making the link clickable) that looks quite professional. That is, until you read the privacy policy :

It seems pretty obvious that those nice shiny “Terms of use” and “Privacy policy” links one very single page are there to provide the illusion of a professional website, even if clicking on them dispels that illusion quite fast.
The same happens when you try to download a product, as a captcha comes up and never registers your input. The whole deal looks suspiciously like a way to extract captcha recognition from clueless humans without anything in return.
As a web designer, recognize that humans are intrinsically shallow, and make sure that you provide the impression of a complete and professional website—just packing functionality together isn’t enough, you have to make it look complete.
As an user, realize that most people who have something to sell already know that cognitive flaw of yours and exploit it to the fullest, and make sure to explore everything just a little bit further to look for inconsistencies or missing pieces before you commit money to a product.
