This is absolutely true! One of the methods that I use is the comments section of my blog. People get the chance to leave a comment after each post. I also use a capture pop up to keep visitors coming back.

It's quite odd how some bloggers use this "Selective marketing" approach. I mean, heck! I am ALL for being cautious when needed. But when you omit your contact info on your blog, I don't know! I would second guess their intentions for creating a blog in the first place! ANYTIME I can get FREE publicity/marketing or what have you, I go for it! The real estate business has so many fees as it is, so why not get stuff free when you can! Hmm *shaking head in disbelief* I just don't know what that is all about! I am going to be starting a blog myself soon,and I can assure you that ALL my contact info will be on there! The ONLY things I might omit is my age,true hair color,and anything else that I may need to "plead the Fifth" on. :-) I agree with Jill!

It is kind of like leaving contact information off of a business card. It is really surprising how many leave this information off or make it hard to find.

Blame technical limitations: as soon as I get a web designer/master who's clued up beyond the mid-1970s it's done. By the way, anyone got any ideas (to pass onto my befuddled web designer) on how to turn URLs like mydomain/blog/?p=57 into proper, user-friendly urls?

Maybe there are many bloggers out there doing it for pleasure, to waste time or to meet others, but I would assume most are to generate business in some form.
