Avoiding Spam / Protecting Email on Webpages
In your backyard you will find good spiders and bad spiders – ones that help your garden and ones that can kill you. You will also find spiders on your website – good spiders that get your info listed on Google, Yahoo, and MSN; and bad spiders that can will harvest information for malicious intent or for sale to the highest bidder. As a site owner or designer, keeping the bad spiders at bay can save your internet life. One of the juiciest treats for these spiders is an unprotected email on a “Contact Us” page. It only takes a few days for an email address to be harvested and sold to the spammers.
