eliminate spam coming from your sites

If you have naked email links on your web site, you are just begging to be spammed.

Hackers use "spambots" that crawl the web like Google, but instead of reading pages they look for email links. When found, they add them to a database and spam the heck out of them. They they sell those email addresses to other spammers.

Best way to handle email links is to encrypt them. This makes them look the exact same to a visitor, but makes them too hard to decipher for spambots.

There's a free web site that encrypts links - no optin required.

There is a video there that describes the problem in more detail.

Hope this helps,

thanks for the link Jeff.....
are these free to use ???

have you tried it before??

 

Yes it is free. I use it on all my sites. I had it programmed to use it myself and decided to make a site for it.

That's great. I used to always put my email like this jacob(at)jacob(dot)com. And it made it look all funky. To add to it, I don't even know if that stopped the spammers.

PS. That's not my real email address.

 

seems little old fasion to even have an email on any pages...when
there are submit form tools out there.
