If we ever detect a signal, it would probably be a stray (faint) broadcast, such as the type we've been sending for decades; not necessarily 'aimed' at contacting alien intelligence. And any reply we send would likely take many years to reach the original source. What do we do in waiting? Keep sending new updated messages? Stop and anxiously wait? Form a new religion?
In any case, I think advanced life would be very careful in dealing with not-so-advanced life, such as ourselves.
If there are any other forms of life out there they'd better stay away from us. After all, we can't get along with each other. Why would they want to contact us?
21st Century Earth = An Unorganized Cacophony. (ironic, but true)
Carl Sagan raises the same point in Cosmos, Who is going to speak for earth? Looking at earth from space, what do we look like, how do we behave and live? I wonder what an alien would say. Would be astonished with our accomplishments or would they drop their jaws in awe and confusion to see earth attack itself. A rather bizzare behaviour for an observer from space...
Offer to sell the non-Earthlings Banana(s) in trade for the metal "Gold". Apples in trade for the metal "Platinum". Oranges in trade for Crystalized carbon and just for fun, Rattlesnake meat in trade for a Mintakean Galactic Cell Phone with 600 Mintakaen Minutes (12 years).
This reminds me of the movie/book Contact

It's a far fetched search, given the size of the universe. I think we should figure out how to get out of the earth at ease first.

Transmit!!!! tell them "Motherfuckas bring the flying cars and the laser guns, we will fuck you up, we do that in every movie"
That pretty much should make it to get us all killed just like the world seems to want....
