These are 4 new members since May 28th to June 18th. Is this some kind of web marketing ploy?

If it keeps up, and since we have very few new users, I may switch it over to admin activation on new accounts to stop them, or I will be lazy and do nothing.

I deleted one of those a day back in the old days. Not a big deal, it's just a way to propogate your website across the web. It's like metatag spamming in the late 90s. They spam that website by registering on thousands of message boards and then google is forced to 'see' it when people search for related content.

You can see these fake user accounts in a convenient list by sorting the member list by website. The 'fake' sites will be pretty obvious.

just swap to admin activation since it's a simple fix
