Do people *just not read*?????
I have an old defunct site at Free Horse Racing Tips which despite the notice on the homepage that says "This site is currently offline until further notice. Due to other commitments we are no longer able to supply free horse racing tips" still gets people signing up to my newsletter on almost a daily basis.
Or what about my "contact us" page at UK Offer? Do you know how many phone calls/emails I get on a *daily* basis asking if I am BT/Tiscali/Wanadoo etc? I mean can I not make it any clearer???

Kieron, I am building a new permalink category for Sunderland based bloggers and I am about to add you, I can see you post regularly so I will leave your link up I hope this helps with your visibility on the net!

I used to have this problem with a site that promoted a subscription based merchant. Despite big messages saying otherwise, I would regularly get people contacting me instead of the merchant because they wanted to cancel their subscription, or that I was “taking money from their account without their permission” *sigh*.
I scrapped the contact page eventually.
But it does highlight the point that people really don’t read half of what’s on the screen – which is interesting from a marketing point of view too. You need to be clever about how you get a message across for people to actually take notice.

Thanks Dean and good points Richard. I may have to take drastic measures with my contact us page at some point!
