Another advantage of this is that you can redirect the user to a thank you page, or send a customised auto reply, offer a special, perhaps add them to your email newsletter list (with their permission of course).The main disadvantage is that they might mis-type their email address, they don't get to use their preferred email client, they don't get your email address until/unless you reply email, and also the person might not want to fill in the form. To prevent spam bots filling in the contact form you can use spam plugins such as Anti-spam or use the honeypot technique (hidden field that only spambots fill in and then the email is rejected).
The advantage of this is that you can set required information such as a contact phone number, an email address, perhaps how they found out about you or your business, or other specific information.
I prefer not to display an email address usually, instead providing a simple and easy contact form on a website. Method 1: Don't show the email address at allThis one really depends on personal preference. So if you simply paste your email address on a web page, then you you are just signing up for spam.So instead you want to make it easy for genuine people to contact you, without any obstacles. Programs known as email harvesters scan the internet for email addresses so they can be added to lists and then targeted with garbage (ie unsolicited email). So how do you protect your email address on a WordPress website or blog?Email spamming is all about grabbing email addresses. In the right hands it becomes valuable for your business, whether you are networking with other businesses or communicating with customers and clients.In the wrong hands, your email is soon clogged up with useless spam and rot. Whenever you include your email address online you are asking for spamĪn email address is a valuable piece of information.
