Are you tired of having thousands of spam messages in your email just because you posted your email address in your blog or any site? Then this tweak is for you but before I give the remedy to that problem let me give you a short background on how these spam messages work.
Spam messages are delivered to you using spambots or spam robots. These spambots are automated computer programs that assist in sending spam. Spambots gather the information from blogs or sites like crawlers in search engines. They crawl and try to find email addresses found in that page. They are using regular expressions and other search methods in finding your email. Email hostings like yahoo and gmail use ways to block these spams but some of these messages can get through and you get annoying emails.
I found two ways of preventing your email to be found by these spambots.

1. One way of doing this is changing your @ symbol to @ . Both are the same and it works well.
   

   <a href="mailto:accountName&#64;domain.com">Email me</a>

   
   
2. The other one is a bit complicated but you don't need to understand all of it. This method uses javascript to obfuscate your email or simply an email obfuscator. You can go to the link below to obfuscate your email. Works great!

But why am i posting this? Is this relevant to Search Engine Optimization? Yes it is relevant. With your blog coming to the top, these spambots will notice you and will begin to crawl your site. This can be harmful to you and to your readers who are posting their email addresses in their comments. If they found out that these spams originated from your blog then worst case scenario is that you'll reputation will be put at risk. Happy blogging. :D

Blogging is not freedom, just like any other activities there are rules or things you shouldn't do. And neglecting the things you should do as a blogger could jeopardize your income or even your reputation as a blogger.
This is again the list of things you should remember in blogging and don't forget to take action.

1. Do not neglect the comments of your readers
   This is the top NO thing you shouldn't do because blogging is about communication. A communication of blogger and readers is like the holy grail of Blog. If you as a blogger can't entertain the queries or comments of the readers then there is no purpose for you to post articles. Your reputation is at risk here.
2. Do not neglect the feedbacks
   These feedbacks are sometimes sent to you via email or private messages(pm) concerning your blog or anything. These feedbacks can range from normal suggestion to wild reactions or complaints. Don't neglect them because they are your audience and they have the right to do so. But sometimes it gets out of hand and when that time comes, weigh things first and make a quick decision.
3. Do not take long breaks
   Human as we are, we make mistakes and sometimes can't remember the things we should do. But don't make this as an excuse for you to take a break in blogging, unless you want to stop blogging. t_T You can avoid taking long breaks by using timestamps in blogs but blogger doesn't seem to have this kind of feature. You can also try posting an article saying you'll be on hiatus for a while if you're really wanting that break.
4. Always respect your readers
   In the world that we're in, respect is everything. Everything that we say reflects our personality therefore we should be careful with it. Although number 4 and 1 are the same, bloggers should always remember to respect and respect its readers.
   

With great blog comes great responsibility.
With great readers comes great income. :D
