Hide your email address from spammers with The Enkoder

Many of us have been in this situation: you want to post your email address on your website so that people can read it, click a link, and get in touch with you. You’re worried about displaying your email as a regular link, though, because bots will index it and start sending you spam. If you want to post your email address on a website so that it’s readable by humans, but obfuscated from any bots trying to harvest it, take a look at The Enkoder.

The Enkoder is a quick web form (and a Mac desktop app!) that takes your email address and the link text you want to use, and spits out some encrypted JavaScript that you can put on the web. It’s provided free-of-charge by Dan Benjamin and HiveLogic.com. The Mac version runs straight from your machine and remembers previous encodings.
