It is really surprising to see people with no form of contact.

It's even more jarring when there are ecommerce websites with no form of phone contact. You're running a business and you won't even interact with your customers.

Not only are you gimping yourself from call orders but you're also ruining your trust-ability.

Interesting but if your not able to respond back on your site then you may lose readers as well as lose trust.

Hence the reason they are freelancing and prostituting their hours to people.

If they could make a decent income on their own they would never freelance so would probably be a smart cookie with many different contact ways.

It doesn't make sense not having a contact page or some sort of contact information if you sell products or services.

That almost sounds like me, but my blog has a email id which you can use to get in touch with me. And yes I may take some time but I do respond.

Completely agree with you on that one Zac, people who are offerng a "friendly service" but do not have any point of contact really bug me! – how can you expect to gather loyal followers and customers when your service is not reflected on your own website.

As for your question… yes I offer many ways of contact on my site and I in fact encourage my readers to contact and converse with me. After all, that is what blogging is all about – building a sense of community and I think something as simple as contact information can be overlooked by many.

Thanks for a great but short post bud!…oh and yea….I emailed Zac the other day and got an almost instant reply, thanks mate.

While a contact form is important, be sure to install a good one. Done wrong and you will get a steady stream of spam as the spambots detect your form, or worse yet your e-mail address.

Zac is no moron. Always responds to my emails. Besides, maybe you are asking moronic questions that he would rather not take time out of his schedule to respond to. Ever think of that one? Anyways, give him a break.

Sounds like either the form is broken, or your contact form isn't white listed. Time for some testing.
