Address Email HideHide your email address away to prevent the spammer's spiders from seeing your email addresses. Yes, the vast majority of spam to email addresses which have been shown on your web pages, has been harvested by an internet robot. These are sent out to scan the internet to gain your email address, which is then sold on to the spammers. How do you put your email address onto a web page in such a way that the email spiders cannot lift the html and use it to send you emails? Address Email Hide - Choice 4 The simplest disguise would be to replace the "@" with "& # 64". This is the ISO character set for the @ symbol, which browsers automatically translate back to @. This is what the SpamBot spiders would see - choice 4 "your-name & #64 your-email-address.com" Address Email Hide - Choice 3 The next level of defence is to use JavaScript. This is not as scary as it sounds. Just place the following JavaScript in the <body> of your HTML file, remembering to insert your own name and email address. <script language="javascript"> <!--document.write('<a href=mailto:' + 'your-name' + '@' + 'your-email-address.com>your-name' + '@' + 'your-email-address.com</a>.')//--> </script> This splits up your addresses to confuse the spambots, looks normal on the page and will open a 'new message' page as usual. This is what the SpamBot spiders would see - choice 3 "<script language="javascript"> <!--document.write('<a href=mailto:' + 'your-name' + '@' + 'your-email-address.com>your-name' + '@' + 'your-email-address.com</a>.')//--> </script>" Address Email Hide - Choice 2 Our next suggestion would be to convert the email address to escape code. This would be scary even for us, if it wasn't for an excellent free service provided by Ecardiff.net Here you simply type your email address into the top box and hit the 'encrypt' key. Your address email hide code will appear in the bottom box ready to copy and paste into the <body> of your HTML file. This is what the SpamBot spiders would see - choice 2 "<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>document. Address Email Hide - Choice 1 All of the above hide the email address only, leaving everything else on your site exposed. Why not hide the source code of your whole page so that all of the html on your page will be totally invisible except to your readers, and completely safe from theft? Yes, thieves can steal any of your web site content in seconds. They can even steal the code for your entire site and put it back on the web exactly as you intended, but with all the important bits - like the sales - going to them. With a little practice anyone can steal a page in seconds, unless its been protected! There are quite a few products designed to hide source code, but head and shoulders above all of the competition is 'WebLock Pro'. For a price that most people honestly won't care about, you can hide your source code beyond the reach of the most determined thieves. We needed to protect our 'Ideas' pages and another commercial site, so we bought it. It took 3 minutes to pay for and download, 5 mins to work out how it all works, and 1 minute per page to fully protect our source code in ways we never could have thought about ourselves. One mouse-click will enable you to do any of these, and more:

to see what one of our locked up page looks like. The Weblock Pro feature we most like is the 'NoLock' tag. This allows you to leave any code which you want search engines to see visible to them. So, you won't loose your search engine placings for your pages, unlike many of WebLock Pro's competitors. This is what the SpamBot spiders would see - choice 1 "page protected by WebLock Pro" Speaks for itself doesn't it? One tip before you visit them, turn any popup blockers off when you visit their site, or you won't get any special offers ;-) (Try holding the shift key down when you click the link) |
