[AccessD] OT: My First Web Page

It is a balancing act of whether you want your site out there or whether you
do not.

I know of clients have requested their sites to be cloaked, most of their
content to be in flash and maybe their email address to be an images.

That done, their site looks pretty but they don't get any hits, they don't
get any good advertisers or business offers. Their sites do not show up in
any search engines and no one comes to them.

Big companies may worry about spam but the alternative of not being able to
easily found and identified is far worse. If OTOH you are only looking to
create a "post card" site maybe that is OK.

IMO, you can significantly reduce the chance of spam email by creating an
image button that has your address and just putting JavaScript code behind
it to handle the hyperlink (if you even want a direct link).

It is possible that your website may be read and the email addresses scraped
by scammers but if you have or acquire any profile on the web search engines
you email address is going to be right out there.

The people that scrape for emails do it for a living and will not be fooled
by any web site trickery... It might have worked 5 to 10 years ago but the
scamming group has become far more sophisticated. Your best security, these
days, is to have a good ISP unless you are hosting your own email server. 

If you do have your own Email Server be prepared to spend a lot of time
tricking, modifying and reconfiguring... it can be a full-time job just to
run day to day stuff and if you get some serious hacker there may be little
you can do to block them indefinitely.

Or replace it with this:

 <style type="text/css">span.codedirection { unicode-bidi:bidi-override;
direction: rtl; }</style>
<p align=center><span class="codedirection">moc.snoitulosorcim at ofni
:liamE</span></p>

Not many website scrapers will pick that up.
