Stop Spam - Webmaster Trick To Stop Spam Mail

[Nick Simpson]

We all are aware, overly aware in most cases, what spam email is. There are many ways we get signed up on these terrible little lists that just advertisements come from into our unsuspecting inbox every day of our lives.

You may have just gave your email address out at a website you signed up for, you may have been taken advantage of by various spy ware, or you may have just put your email address on a forum or blog for others to contact you.

I can't solve all the worlds spam problems today, but I can show you how you can post you email address on forums and blogs without fear of web spiders snatching your email address and then, well you know....

There are 2 popular ways to avoid this type of inconvenient web mayhem:

1. Use a javascript encoded email address.

* This method works by literally scrambling your email address and then putting it back together as the link is actually clicked by somebody, so it cannot just be picked up from the html on page.
* You can use this technique on some blogs, your own website, but not on most forums due to the fact that most forums to not process javascript.
* Here is a free site that will make the code for you in a snap : http://rumkin.com/tools/mailto_encoder/simple.php




2. Post an image that shows your email address so users can then manually type in the email address.

* This method is pretty low tech but really works well.
* Just make an image that has your email address on it and post the picture in your posts.
