================== ARTICLE START ==================
One of the biggest mistakes people who have web sites make is
posting their email address on their web sites. What seems like
a simple way to let people contact you is actually one of the
most damaging things you can do. Spam bots just love to harvest
email addresses. Not only do you need to worry about receiving
unwanted spam you also need to worry about somebody spoofing
your email address.
Just think of all the hard work and effort you have put into
your business. All it takes is a handful of spoofed email
addresses coming from your domain and your business name is now
tainted. You also run the risk of your domain name being
blacklisted because so many people have reported that you have
sent spam even though you haven't. When your domain is
blacklisted it means many ISPs and email services will not
accept email from your domain.
Then we have programs like Spam Arrest which prevent their paid
subscribers from getting spam. However they have been known to
actually send spam out to those of us who reply to the paid
subscribers verification requests. So when we start getting
bombarded with spam who are we to turn to? Spam Arrest of
course because they do protect their paid subscribers.
So don't risk it! Remove your email address from your own site
and use a contact form instead. Also don't post your email
address anywhere else like message boards or classified
listings.
If you don�t know how to add a contact form to your site this
is a simple job that many web site developers can do for you.
This cost anywhere from $25 to $100 depending on the company.
Even if you are only able to find somebody on the high end it
will be well worth it in the long run for your business.
