Upon my return from holiday I had over 3,000 spam messages AFTER my spam filters had done their job!
Here’s what the problem sounds like to start with:
And here’s a solution to reduce spam:
Jeff Mulligan of CBMall fame, runs a great site called Quickie Profits and has developed a briulliant free tool to prevent those, oh so bad robots from harvesting email addresses from blogs and websites.
I knew this happened but hadn’t removed email addresses from a number of my sites (too lazy I guess). As a result I receive mountains of spam to little used addresses.
This is a breeze to use – just enter the email address, enter the text you want to show and copy and paste the code it produces.
Take a look at Jeff’s page now. There’s an explanation video and NO SIGN UP box. So anyone can use it.
It’s a bit like my own Easy Hyperlinks solution.
Thanks Jeff.
Mark
