Protecting Email Addresses on Your Web Site

Want to put your email address on your web site? But, do you want spam-spiders grabbing it and sending you porn, viagra, and mortgages? You do?

Or, perhaps you don’t want all that spam, but you need your email address on your site so people can contact you. The solution is to embed some javascript in your HTML: your email address is stored in an encrypted hive, and an obfuscated javascript function decrypts the hive and displays the human-readable email address for the user. So your email address will appear normally in any javascript-enabled browser, yet if spiders try to read it, they get a bunch of gibberish.

My current fave is Hiveware’s Enkoder. Check it out, and stop that spam cold.
