Does anyone know about securing email links on websites i.e. I have email links on various pages so that customers can contact me with ease but I think there is a way to secure them so that you don't get a lot of spam.
That is the limit of my knowledge!!

you can put them in as pictures rather than text but anyone intent on spamming you will just look at your source code and get it that way.

Use a contact form with a captcha .. where they have to type the letters in has certainly decreased or spam if that's what you mean ?

I might do!
I don't get much spam but someone was mentioning it to me about securing emails (but I didn't really understand!).
Thanks.
I think if you avoid a clickable direct link (i.e. they manually have to type in your address or fill in a contact form) then it helps to cut down on the automated spam.
