Okay, so many don't know but you can get a lot of spam by putting your email address on your website.  You see, there are programs available to search the Internet webpage by webpage looking for email addresses on the websites and when this program finds an email address it logs it then moves on to the next page.  This is called "crawling" or "email crawlers".  Some may call it an "email spider".  They crawl through the Internet looking for email addresses for marketting companies and such.  Every email address gets saved until they have found a ton of email addresses then they spam the email addresses.

So rule number one in order to fight spam is to NOT put your email address on your website.  Because it will only be a matter of time before you start getting spam.  What if you need your email address on the website, then what?

There is a solution; what you do is put an IMAGE with text on it that shows your email address.  The crawlers and spiders will see it as an image not as text that it can read and it will pass it right up not knowing that on that image is your email address.  Basically, you're fooling the crawler with an image!

We created a little tool for you to create your email images on this page.  Simply fill in the blanks to your liking or to match your website and then hit PREVIEW at the bottom.  It will create an image and then you can right-click to save it for use on your website.  We hope it helps you get less spam!

You can use it to create banner ads, simple logos, website graphics and buttons as well.  Use your imagination and you can use it for all sorts of things whn you just need a quick render of a simple image.
