Reduce Webpage Risk by Removing @

Computer search robots are crawling through text on the Internet looking for Web pages that contain the @ symbol so they can store the email addresses associated with that symbol.  Without realizing it you may be putting yourself at risk simply by listing your email address on your Blog site or other business related site. The best solution is to replace the @ symbol with the word "at".  For example, Marybrooks@msn.com now becomes Marybrooksatmsn.com.  This could keep some of the spammers out there away from your site.
