EScrambler Protects Your Web Site From Spam Crawlers

Your spam problem comes from spam crawler robots. They crawl your web site for only one purpose -- to add your email addresses their spam lists.

Make your email addresses invisible to spam crawlers with EScrambler.

 

EScrambler Hides Your Email Addresses in Plain Sight

With Escrambler, visitors to your web pages can read and click on your email addresses the same way they do now.

All the email addresses on this page were made were with EScrambler. Without looking at the source code you cannot tell any difference.

Human visitors to your site are NOT causing your spam problem.

 

EScrambler Is Search Engine Friendly

EScrambler does not stop search engine robots from indexing your site. It only hides your email addresses from robots.

 

EScrambler Works with 3 Styles of Email Links

• A link from an email address itself, for example:
   
  
• A link from some other text, for example:
   
  
• A link from an image, for example:
   
  

EScramble Your HTML Code Right Now

• Click the demo button above for the style of link you want.

• Enter your values into the boxes below using a similar format to the demo.

• Do not use any quotes, single (') or double ("), plus signs (+), equal signs (=), less than signs (<), or greater than signs (>). If you need any backshlash characters (\), put two together (\\) for every one you need. For forward slashes (/), just put in one (/) for every one you need. You may use coded symbols, such as &quot; for a quote sign.

• You may use spaces in the text, but not in the email addresses. If you need spaces in the email address, use %20. Spaces within the url will automatically be converted to %20. Trailing spaces will be trimmed.

• Copying and pasting are more accurate than typing.

• Enter the email address where you want the email sent.

  @

• If you wish some other text to be the email link, enter that text.

• If you wish an image to be the email link, enter the url for the image.

  You can use a relative url such as:

  email.jpg

  Or you can use a full url such as:

  http://innerpeace.org/email.jpg

• Click this button.

     

• Your EScrambled HTML code will appear here.

• A description of what your EScrambled HTML code does will appear here.

• WARNING: Make a backup copy of your HTML code before you edit it.

• Delete the current email link from your HTML code begining with:

  <a href="mailto:

  and ending with:

  </a>

  for example:

• Copy and paste your new EScrambled code into your HTML code where your old email link used to be.

• Save the file and upload it to your server.

 

Technical Details

EScrambler converts the HTML code for your email links into scrambled JavaScript code that robots cannot read.

EScrambler first breaks your HTML code into pieces and assigns each piece to a variable.

Here's what's included in each variable, using the second example from above:

The browser then puts the pieces back together with the command:

document.write(a+b+c+d+e)

Putting that all together we get:

For links from an email address or a graphic link, different coding is assigned to variable d but the same principles apply.

We made this program to be so simple that anyone who knows how to do cut and paste can use it. We are aware that professional webmasters can do this with even less code using the EScrambler concepts. Feel free to adapt it to your website.

 

How It Works

EScrambler is a BrowserBased Program written in JavaScript. All the processing is done on your browser. No cgi scripts and no server calls are used.

We do not collect your email addresses. We never even get them. If you don't believe that, work offline and you will see that EScrambler still works.

To see the EScrambler source code, select View Source from your menubar or your right click mouse menu.

 

Limitations

The major limitation to EScrambler is that not all browsers support JavaScript. Fortunately, as of 2002, this means that about 1% of your visitors may not be able to see or click on your email address.

Do not be alarmed if you read articles warning you about users without JavaScript capilities in their browsers. Most of those articles were written in the last millenium. Most browsers made since 1995 can easily read code made with EScrambler, and your users will not know that your email code is scrambled.

If you do use other JavaScript on the same page as your EScrambled code, you will not be able to use any variable named "escramble" or any function named "escramble()". We expect you can live with that limitation.

The other limitation is that you may miss out on those emails offering to show you, for ONLY $79.95 plus shipping and handling, how to turn lead into gold.

 

 

We will try to be of assistance on this program but we are not professional programmers. We wrote this program because we needed it ourselves. Our main work is the Inner Peace self-counseling program. We freely offer it to you to use as you wish.

If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve this program, please let us know. We tried to write the code so that it could be understood by new programmers.

Like Inner Peace, this program is a BrowserBased program. You can bookmark it, select "make available offline," and run it anytime. Whenever you open it while you are online, your browser will automatically update you with the latest version.

For the code, you can either do a "view source" on this page or download our Webmaster ToolKit which contains this and other webmaster resources.
