Are you afraid of putting your email address on your website for fear that spam robots will collect your address? Are you offering a web contact form in lieu of an email link just to preserve your inbox from being clogged? Web contact forms don’t replace email links. Why? Because communicating through email is effortless, familiar and convenient. The forwarding address is pre-filled and there is space to accommodate any length of message and also freedom to give as much or as little personal information as the visitor (or customer) wishes to provide. Encourage people to contact you. But how to prevent spam robots harvesting your email address? Those email harvesters don’t read Javascripts. By inserting a snippet of Javascript, the address becomes invisible to them. I’m not a Javascript writer but since I’ve used a Javascript to hide my address, I still receive feedback and enquiries but the number of unsolicited messages from spammers has reduced considerably. This is the example: Any of the following Javascripts will camouflage this address.
Follow these three steps: Instructions
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE ="JavaScript"> Script Two <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">After a few days, you’ll start enjoying the difference. |
