Almost every website has a contact page with either a contact form or contact details ( email) . If these contact details are not wisely encrypted by the webmaster then they can easily be misused by spam bots as they continuously scam websites ( specially new ones ) for email addresses which they add to their mailing lists and then later sell it to spammers . Thats why bloggers not only receive spam in comments but also get a daily dosage of free spam emails and that also on frequent basis .
There are many ways we can disguise our email addresses . We can use the term “at” instead of “@” and “dot” in place of “.” . So your email of sample@email.com becomes :
sample [ at] email [ dot ] com
This can be sometimes confusing and diffcult to pick by some of your site visitors but it works well and is completely hidden from any sort of spam bot .
The other method is to use email address in images like the ones shown below :
You can use any photo editor to create your own custom email image or if you are running short of time then I suggest you try this free service offererd by Nexodyne . The above images have also been created by this free tool and uptil now it has delived over 7 million free email icons to users across the globe .
But using email image icons , automatic email extractor tools and other spam bots see these as images and your email is safeguarded by this simple yet effective method .
NOTE : None of the email addresss used in above images belong to me .
