>>>>>>>> About Secrets - by Bryan Kumar <<<<<<<<
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You are being lied to! You are being robbed,
manipulated and controlled. And, there's nothing
you can do about it!
Until now...
Is success still hiding from you...
no matter how hard you try, how much you do, and
how much you continue to learn, invest, and
improve?
Does it ever seem like you've bought and read
everything you could possibly get your hands on?
And yet, the "real" secrets are still being hidden
from you?
I'll tell you right now: It's NOT your fault!
You CAN be successful - but only if you can cut
through the avalanche of lies and misinformation
that are being dumped on you.
See, there are people out there who work VERY hard,
every single day, to KEEP YOU in the Dark! Just so
they can fatten their own wallets, at your expense!
But you can easily break free from their control
and manipulation at LAST -- and claim the success,
wealth, and freedom that you deserve!
Here's just what one person had to say after being
exposed to the truth...
"Like most people I was skeptical at first,
especially because I believed that I was already
VERY well informed.
After going through the secrets on your site, I
realize just how much they are really hiding from
us! I'm glad, very glad that I found your site.
Thanks!"
... David Flores, Berkeley, CA
Here's your chance to find out what's really going
on around you, to keep you in control -- and
discover how to set yourself free! Without risking
a single penny!
Just go to this site and see it for yourself...

still getting nowhere, you owe it to yourself, and
your loved ones, to check it out right now.
But, I do warn you... prepare to be shocked!

Success!
Tom Hua
P.S. I can't stress this enough - if you don't
start to take back control of your life, you'll be
forever kept in the dark.

*** Spam-Proofing Your Website - Dan Thies ***
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Almost every website operator wants search engine
spiders to visit. After all, search engines are the
best source of free traffic on the web. In the event
that you don't want them to visit, they are easily
kept at bay with a properly formatted "robots.txt" file.
Unfortunately, there's another group of spiders out
there crawling the web, with an entirely different
purpose. These are the spiders that visit site after
site, collecting email addresses. You may know them
as spam bots, email harvesters, or any number of
unpublishable names.
When it comes to controlling these rogue spiders,
robots.txt simply won't get the job done. In fact,
most spam robots will ignore robots.txt. That doesn't
mean you have to give up, and just let them have their
way. In this short tutorial, I'll teach you how to
hide your email addresses from them.
Technique #1: Use Javascript To Mask Email Addresses
One of the weaknesses that spiders of all kinds suffer
from is an inability to process scripts. Adding a
small snippet of Javascript in place of an email
address effectively renders the address invisible to
spiders, while leaving it accessible to your visitors
with all but the most primitive web browsers.
In the three examples below, simply substitute your
username (the first half of your email address,
everything before the @ symbol) and your hostname
(everything after the @ symbol). To use the scripts,
just insert them into your page's HTML wherever you
need them to be displayed.
Example 1: Creating A Spam-Proof Mailto Link
This snippet of code creates a clickable link that
launches the visitor's email application, assuming
that their system is configured to work with mailto
links. You can replace the link text with your own
message, but see example 2 if you want to display
your email address as the link text.
<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "yourdomain.com";
var linktext = "Click Here To Send Me Email";
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "tox" + username
+ "@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>
Example 2: A Spam-Proof Mailto Link With Your Email
Address Showing
Some visitors won't be able to use a mailto link,
and will instead need to read the email address.
No problem, just use the snippet below instead.
<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "yourdomain.com";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname;
document.write("<a href=" + "mail" + "tox" +
username + "@" + hostname + ">" + linktext + "</a>")
//-->
</script>
Example 3: Display Your Email Address Without
A Mailto Link
Sometimes, you just want to give your email address
without making it a clickable link - here's a
snippet that accomplishes just that:
<script language=javascript>
<!--
var username = "username";
var hostname = "yourdomain.com";
var linktext = username + "@" + hostname;
document.write(username + "@" + hostname)
//-->
</script>
Technique #2: Hide Behind A Contact Form Sometimes,
the sheer volume of legitimate email from real
visitors can become a burden. In this case, a
simple solution is to remove your email address
from your site entirely, and use a contact form.
There are dozens of free ASP, Perl, and PHP scripts
available online that will allow your users to fill
in a form, and send you an email. Many hosting
providers offer this service for free to their
customers.
A contact form can enable you to deal with a higher
volume of mail, by allowing you to pre-sort different
types of message. This is easily accomplished by
creating a drop-down menu with different options
(e.g. customer service, billing, tech support, etc.)
that will populate the subject line of the email
message.
I hope that this tutorial has given you a clear
understanding of how to protect your website, and
your email address, from spam-bots. If you have
any questions about this article, feel free to

home page, right after the "P.S."
I wish you success...
