Interesting. I suppose if I were to ever get 20+ recruiter contacts per month I would retract my previous comment about replying to each of them being cheap time-wise.

Admittedly, I'm not in the market for a developer position, and I deliberately down-play my development experience in my profile, which probably reduces my contact count substantially. I should conduct an experiment wherein I stuff my resume and LinkedIn profile with programming languages and framework keywords for a month and record whether it has an effect on recruitment volume. I suspect it would.

Another interesting bit I've noticed is coworkers getting some of the same recruiter spam from the same recruiter. Seems some of them just blast everyone working for a particular company and hope to get a reply.
