Hiding your email address from Spambots
We all get far too much spam, so the last thing someone should do is to post their email address on a website or anywhere on the Internet. That is guaranteed to get harvested by spambots and will result in tons of unwanted spam for Viagra, Nigerian scammers and all kinds of garbage.

john.doe<at>hotmail.com
-or-
john.doe[at]hotmail.com
This method does not work at all. A simple google search can show you that... even a simple Google based search can turn up hundreds of emails at any big company. Simply enter this into Google and see for yourself:

Go to the middle of the results and you will see that this simple search turned up all kinds of feeble attempts at hiding emails from spambot harvesters. Lately, Google has been removing these results from searches, but a PHP harvester and/or other search engines will not do so and email addresses can be easily harvested from all over the web.
