Publishing an email address on the web is not recommended.

Normally, we can see a similar email format “email @ domain dot com”, “email at domain dot com”  or using image for represent their email address published on forum, blog website. I found an interesting way to do it from Google China Blog.

In fact, this is not a new technology but I think it will be useful. Use encoded email address, it will transforming your ascii email address into its equivalent decimal entity

This encoded e-mail address can be read and translated back into its original ascii text by almost any web browser without any further action on your part. Just replace all instances of your e-mail address on your pages with the code, and you won’t have to worry (too much) about spam lists.

For an example, I enter an email address: email@domain.com in encoded email address box and click ENCODE. Look! It will generate “email@domain.com”

What the heck is this number use for? Go to google.com and search for it, Google will tell you this is an email address: “email@domain.com”

Read this: This technique is not by any means a foolproof solution – high end software such as that used by Google’s™ search engine can still sniff out your email address regardless. But this technique will still certainly go a long way towards minimizing your exposure to less capable automated email harvesters.

Anyway, you can use this number+special characters as your email address in your html file and most of the browsers understood. For an example:

Send email to <A href=”mailto:
&#121;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#110;&#097;&#109;&#101;&#064;&#100;&#111;&#109;&#097;&#105;&#110;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;”>
&#121;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#110;&#097;&#109;&#101;&#064;&#100;&#111;&#109;&#097;&#105;&#110;&#046;&#099;&#111;&#109;
</A>”

Enjoy!
