When people fill out a “Contact Us” form on the Web, or send an email to the contact address listed on a site, they expect to get an answer. At least an autoresponder. Ideally, a human response within 24-48 hours.

Last week, I contacted about a dozen Web sites to obtain pricing information for online advertising (evidently, listing actual prices online would be way out of the question). Large sites. Well-known sites. Sites you’ve probably actually heard of.

As of this morning, only one has responded with any actual information.

If you’re not gonna bother responding, then go ahead and list the prices. If you’re not gonna list the prices, then respond, willya?

Don’t publishers want to sell ads?
