Sites that provide names, email addresses, snail mail addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information make it possible to find out the details not published on their web pages. Just the fact that they are willing to be contacted lets us know that they stand behind what they say and encourages us to trust them.

The above tips are worded as questions because they are not always true. These are general rules that may not work for your situation. Use them when they are applicable; ignore them when they are not.
