I was once contacted by phone a mainstream media reporter and featured in the Sunday newspaper about my blogging and social media efforts. How did she find my number? I have it listed on the <b>Contact</b> page on my blog. Absolutely, Deb!

As Community Manager I reach out to bloggers on a regular basis to see if I can set up interviews or if they're interested in certain BlogTalkRadio shows. When I can't find their contact details they miss out on a mutually beneficial relationship. Some folks feel that by dropping their email addresses they're setting themselves up for spam. Yes, this happens sometimes but then these people miss out on job offers, advertising requests, project proposals and more. It doesn't pay to have a closed door policy. Hi Bryan,

It seems so smack-me-over-the-head obvious that people visiting your site to read your content should know <i>precisely</i> when and how to get in touch with you. If contact information is too difficult to find or folks have to jump through too many hoops to get in touch with you (filling out a lengthy contact form, for example), they probably just won't even bother. And <i>that</i> is the biggest shame. Bryan | @BryanPerson LiveWorld Deb:
