    Hi

    I wonder if its ok (and legal) to promote my site/service using "contact us" forms on the companies' websites that I want to reach?

    Thanks

    I don't see anything wrong with it, but I would be a little more professional and get the email address of who you need to talk to, and send them a decent looking email with some links that they can follow for more info.

    I don't know your service, but I can't see you getting much of a response from the contact form...looks a little amateurish.

    I get people looking for jobs and trying to sell things to the business I work for though web forms all the time. I ignore some and have responded to some.

    I certainly see nothing illegal with it so long as you are not misrepresenting yourself.

    Thanks all
    @hmansfield - good point - I will consider it when I act.
    @browntwn - I needed this comment to approve my thinking

    I would personally try to find an individual at the company to speak with or email directly. I think you will find much better luck if you reach out to someone directly. Just submitting your services on a contact us forum, probably will go to the wrong person, unless it is a small company.
