Does any one use this, or something like this, to hide their emails from harvesting robots?
I usually use:
email AT domain.com
or
/* */
and tell the visitor to remove "poop" or whatever.
But I have seen something similar to what that Enkoder thing does, except the entire .html was encoded a certain way (I guess he didn’t want people to copy his code or something) so if you did a view source it looked like this:
LSKDFSE5SOE58SEL5SE057SEJLKAS7597W34856OSUIERHLSKE 47O9E48HSL5SE468SUEL
SE46SEJ4R6L;IS6P8SE4U6ISR0SE4786OISHRTLKSDR67SRJTN H6SO6SSURHSDR
LOSDRJIPT6SE476PS8RTHSEHR52935Y7SU4EIT5HSE
etc.

if I seen something like that I would leave, and not bother dealing with you, because it looks unprofessional, and I am not talking about poop
and that is what a lot of people do with footer codes in wordpress sites, but you can use programs to decode it, but bots will not bother with that

I use something similar to Enkoder. I wrote it myself, though. Years ago.
Usually I don’t create email links. I use a contact form. If I am going to distribute my email address, I use an image with an email address in it. |
I have done that before with my email and even phone number

Saying:
email AT domain DOT com
is unprofessional?
Even the other way (POOP) has been pretty standard for the last 10+ years. I don’t think it’s weird at all. I’m not too lazy that I can’t manually type in an email address. Altho TBH it is usually "NOSPAM" rather than "POOP," but I assume by now the scrapers have learned to parse out NOSPAM so I just choose a random other word.
And it probably keeps the morons from emailing me anyway, which is a good thing

it has nothing to with being lazy or typing ir, to me it looks very unprofessional and very amateurish, when there are so many better ways of doing it and you would not see a larger company doing it, just screams rinky dink, that is all
Oh, yeah I was talking for personal websites
Humerous story, the other day I was attempting to DL a demo of something for work (ldap browser) and they want an email before letting me DL, I used
/* */
and it didn’t accept it, then I used another, it was denied as well so then I tried
/* */
(their domain) and it accepted it. lol??
