There are many reason why you shouldn’t place your email address on a Web page; the number one being spambots. There are tons a spambots running around the Web looking for that “@” symbol so that they can bombard you with as much spam as possible. Instead of displaying my email address, I use a contact form. Lately though, I have been reading about many reasons why you should display your email address so that it is easier for visitors to contact you.
Here is a clever and safe way to display your email address using CSS redirection.
First we need to create a style in your header or in your stylesheet:
<style type="text/css"> span.redirect { unicode-bidi:bidi-override; direction: rtl; } </style>
Now all you need to do is write your email address backwards and use the style like this:
<span class="redirect">moc.liamg@emanruoy</span>
