Spammers are always trying to get new email address's to send their worthless mail to. And so there are now many Spam bots crawling the internet in search of email addresses. And if you have your email address listed on your site you could be picked up.

However you can easily avoid these Spam crawlers. Most are programmed to look for the @ symbol, so be removing this from your page you can confuse them. To do this use the HTML code for the @ symbol:

@

So for an email link you could use:

<a href=mailto:someone&#64;somewhere.com>
someone&#64;somewhere.com</a>
