Protect you Email Address from Spammers and Harvesters

Getting top 10 search engine rankings is great for business but it also brings a lot of unwanted email.  I must receive at least 50 emails a day trying to sell me diets, sex, ink cartridges, pills, web design, Internet marketing, etc etc.  The email address these are sent to are not the address I use if I opt in to a newsletter but email addresses that appear on my web sites.  My email address has been taken from my web site to use to spam me!

So..
How do I hide my email address to harvesters but still leave it available for my clients?

Like always there are a number of options.  

• You can pay for some fancy software.

• Use some Javasacript

• Convert you address into hex code.  

• You could put your email address into a GIF but then visitors would need to retype it.

• Use some Flash code

The easiest and cheapest way is to use a free converter by Tim Williams
