Protect your email address on your site from mail stripping robots

How do I do that though? And the purpose of that is to get less spam right?

Learn how to make a robots.txt file so images.google.com won't offer your images to others.

Again, how does one make this? And what does it do? Keep the images from appearing when ppl do a image search?

Hi,

I didn't visit the URL posted by soggy but I can answer your questions.

It prevents your e-mail from being harvested into a spam database. This can be done using Javascript. Basically, you don't store the e-mail in plain text in the HTML - you let Javascript construct the mail link.

<script TYPE="text/javascript">

</script>

Yep, it keeps your images away from Google's image search. In can be done by adding a robots.txt file with the following lines :

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /

You can get more information on that from Google : http://www.google.com/remove.html

If you don't want to clutter your pages with javascript you can just write your email out like this:

webmaster at xxx-adults.net

Alas, this is often parsed by spam spiders. Same goes for those NOSPAM tags that can be stripped. Or replacing characters with html unicode equivalent. Etc.

Anyhow, the point is moot. If the e-mail used is a 'webmaster' address, they don't need to spider the web site to obtain it. They can harvest those from Whois records or simply send blind spam (eg. guesses).

If one really wants to protect an e-mail (such as a support e-mail), then consider adding a mail form on the web site. It's easier to use for users anyways. (imho)

If only I had known that a little sooner, maybe my mailbox wouldn't have been flooded with 100's of spam and virusses every day than.
Thanks man.
