Making Your Website E-mail address Spam-Proof

"If you are launching a brand new website and proudly put your email address info@yourdomain.com , then very soon you will start getting spam email to this virgin address, due to the relentless searching of the spam bots. It’s a dilemma; you want your web visitors to be able to contact you but you don’t need hundreds of
spam emails adding to your burden of unsolicited mail."

In a newsletter I receive, I got the quote from above. It came from a search engine optimization site that sells its services, but also gave a good tip for encoding your e-mail address to put on your site to deter spammers. On a site they referred me to, you can enter the email address you want to encode and receive a script that spammers cannot read that can be posted on your web site.

The newsletter (which I cannot link you to) gave some other information about different approaches to trying to combat spam, but also pointed out that the spambots read the html on the page, so the common approach of setting up your email link from an image will not suffice.
