Article Writing Tip: Email Addresses

September 6th, 2005 GlennP

This short tip is for newbie Internet article marketers who are getting tons of SPAM in their mailboxes after sending some articles…

There are some few good rules in writing and submitting articles. Part of these rules talks about including your email address in your article OR in your bylines, either hyper-linked or not.

You see the Internet has become a search ground or more like an archive of emails waiting to be searched and crawled by spammers.

It is OK to include your email address in your article body or your bylines if you really have to but in such a way that email scrapers will not recognize it as an email address…

Here is an example: “Email me at glenn [at] isnare.com; replace [at] with @” that way automated scripts to hyperlink any email address in a content body will not recognize it and will not hyperlink it and most importantly internet email scrapers will also not recognize it as an email address… Saving your inbox but still making your self-available to prospects.
