Email Address Encoder

Ever wonder how your email address has found it's way onto email address lists used by spammers. Spammers use email harvesting software that crawl Web sites and gather email addresses. If your email address hasn't been encoded and is on a Web site then there is a greater chance of it being found and added to spam mailing lists.

Here is a simple tool that can encode email addresses for a Web site protecting them from email harvesters. Encoded email addresses are viewable by all Web browsers but not email harvesting software.

Encode Your Email Addresses

1. Enter any E-mail address in the first text box
2. Click the encode button
3. Highlight and copy the resulting code produced in the second text box into your Web page
4. To encode another email address click the reset button and enter the new email address

An encoded email link in the source code of a Web page looks like this

<a href="mailto:&#101;&#109;&#064;&#101;&#109;&#046;&#105;&#101;">
&#101;&#109;&#064;&#101;&#109;&#046;&#105;&#101;</a>

An unencoded email link in the source code of a Web page looks like this

<a href="mailto:em@em.ie">em@em.ie</a>
