The no-spam email code
Ever wondered how so many
spammers get your email address? Email spam is the
number one plague of the Internet these days, and
it's only going to get worse as more people catch
on to the "wonderful" web.
The reason your email address
seems so popular is NOT because an actual person
came to your Web site and copied your email address
manually. It's because advanced software has been
developed in recent years which enables spammers to
do their dirty work without making any
effort!
This spam, or harvest,
software releases spies (or spam bots) throughout
the search engines that can capture millions of
emails from the HTML code of innocent sites all
over the Web - including yours and mine.
Spammers can literally obtain
millions of email addresses within a matter of
hours, then sell them, spam them, or both.
Unfortunately, there's no way to prevent them from
harvesting all of these emails. Even with new laws
in place, the spam will still continue. Prosecution
is very difficult in most cases because spammers do
not play fair.
A Possible
Solution?
We can take steps to combat
spam at our own Web site and mailbox. One way to
stay a step ahead of spammers is to use unique ways
of revealing your email address to
visitors.
A javascript code has been
created to help hide your email address in HTML
while maintaining a "normal" appearance and
functionality at your Web site. I'll show you how
to do this in a moment. No special skills are
required if you already have a site up and
running.
I realize there have been
other ways to prevent spam, such as including a
special phrase in the actual email address that the
sender would have to remove manually. This method
does help prevent spam, but please beware of the
pitfalls...
An example of this
method is below:
The email on the web page and
in the sender's email client might look something
like this:
no_spam_candice@onlinesuccesstips.com
The sender would need to
remove the no_spam_ portion of this email in
order to send the email successfully. <
style="font-family:
helvetica,arial,sans-serif;">The problem with
this method is that it could hinder you from
receiving your email and cause you to lose sales if
you're operating an online business. Your visitors
might or might not understand how email works (or
how an email address should look.)
If the visitor makes an
attempt to email you, and the attempt fails, you
will probably lose all credibility with that
visitor. So, beware of these methods even though
they will prevent some spam.

The method I'd like to
discuss uses a simple javascript code to disguise
your email address. The spam bots will not be able
to decipher the email, but your email will appear
normal on your website and maintain it's normal
functionality.
Using this method, no code
will show in the email to your visitors.
