Spam-Proofing E-Mail Links<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Programs called mail harvesters search the Web looking for e-mail addresses to send spam. Hence, e-mail address given in the link can be picked by the harvester program on list of potential spam due to the at symbol (@) in e-mail address. Spam-proofing e-mail address needs not displaying an @ symbol which can be done by<\/p>\n

Using [at] <\/strong>– It is quick and pure-text way to avoid displaying \u2018@\u2019 symbol so that visitors can still get e-mail address, but the harvesting programs does not. E-mail address will be like<\/p>\n

info[at]vskills.com<\/p>\n

But this technique only works for display of the e-mail address, and not linking to it.<\/p>\n

Using image <\/strong>– A graphic @ symbol is used so, visitors see the e-mail address but e-mail harvesters do not. But this technique also is used for displaying and not linking.<\/p>\n

Using Character Code <\/strong>\u2013 In it @ symbol and period is replaced with their decimal equivalents like the \u2018info@vskills.in\u2019 is like<\/p>\n

info&#64;vskills&#46;in<\/p>\n

The \u2018&#64;\u2019 is the decimal equivalent of the @ symbol and &#46; is the equivalent of a period. The complete a tag using this technique is<\/p>\n

<a href=”mailto:me&#64;home&#46;com”><\/p>\n

E-mail programs accept these decimal characters and will replace them with the appropriate equivalents when preparing the actual e-mail hence this technique not only shows but also links the e-mail address<\/p>\n

Using Script Code \u2013 <\/strong>It hides the e-mail address by scripting language like JavaScript.<\/p>\n

When displayed in a browser, this script prints \u201cE-mail Me\u201d and links it to e-mail address but never displaying the complete e-mail address.<\/p>\n
