Protect your E-Mail IDs from E-mail Spiders

Have you ever heard about E-Mail spiders ?, Many of us don’t know about this (Like me :) ), Actually E-Mail spiders are the special robots (just like Google Bot, which crawls webpages) who searches webpages for E-mail IDs and collect them all and then these IDs can be used for spamming.
Actually such e-mail spiders collect all e-mail ID from pages which either have ” mailto: ” statements attached or they have various algorithms to collect them.
So you must protect your e-mail ID from getting caught by such E-Mail Spiders. Following are few tricks by which you can make them fool.
1.Use of Image instead of text.

Simply use images of your e-mail IDs instead of normal text, These spiders cant read the image.(Thank God). One of the best E-mail to image converter can be found here.

2.Use contact forms (Just like me)
You can use contact forms rather than giving the direct e-mail IDs, this is the best way to protect yourself and your e-mail ID from spamming. one of the simplest contact form for normal HTML sites can get from here
and for wordpress users you can use any contact form from Wordpress plug-in directory

Make the internet world spam free, start it from your site(/side).
