MailToEncoder: Encode Email Address To Prevent Spam

If you’ve encountered a situation where you leave your email address on a public website and start getting spam starting next day, then you are not alone. Mailto Encoder is a site which helps to prevent this by encoding your email address with javascript in a way that makes it unreadable to any spam bot spider or email extractor.

You just need to type in the email address and click the encode button to get the code. And then paste the code where you are planning to put your email address.

encode email address

Note:  This technique is not a foolproof solution, a spambot intelligent enough could have the ability to crack this code, but this is WAY MORE safer than just writing the address.

Any Similar & secure solutions for text ??

One of my friends regularly posts mobiles nos. of individuals via sms groups.

Thing is he doesn’t want people to publicly view it.

R there any websites which provide similar solutions.

I checked the hidetext.net, but a more secure solution should be available like before providing the data a captcha code should be verified.

Thanx…. did find ur newsletters helpful, especially the Cool Websites section really are cool.

Expecting optimistic results
