If you're displaying
your email address on your web site, you may be unknowingly setting yourself
up to receive a ton of spam email. Unfortunately, spam robots are continuously
crawling the Internet in search of email addresses they can use to not only
send spam, but also sell to other spammers.
However, although it's very difficult to protect yourself from receiving
spam email, there is a way you can still display your email address on your
web site and protect it at the same time.
Instead of displaying the usual mailto:you@yourdomain.com email link within
your web page, use the following code within your HTML:
<A
HREF="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">Contact
Us</A> |
When your email link is clicked on,
it will display your email address correctly.
Change the email address in the example above to the email address you would
like to display.
By using this simple little code, you can protect your email address from
spam bots.
