Email Icon Generator

Do you know how spammers get your email address? One of their tactics is to send a spider out into the internet to harvest email address from webpages. That’s why you should never ever enter your full email address for display on a webpage - a spider would harvest it.

So people have resorted to typing down the abbreviated versions of the email addresses, like for an example, I would type mine as cowboycaleb at gmail dot com.

This website offers you an even more elegant solution. Just key in your id, choose an email provider and it will generate a pretty cool icon for you - just like the one below. After you’ve done this, you can place it on your website.

so do they sell your email address that you entered into their system?
