If you have a web site, you should know there are software programs running throughout the Internet which do nothing but collect email addresses off of web sites. These handy little programs are called “robots.”
Now robots can be a good thing because they are also the tools used by search engines to help determine your web sites ranking.
While you would not want to make a hindrance to the search engine “bots,” you definitely want to put a stop to the email bots. One way to do this is make the email addresses on your web site where they won’t be recognizable to the bots.
The bots are out there looking for anything with the normal email address configuration. The method to hide the email address is called “obfuscation.”
