How do spammers harvest their email lists?
Do they use something like scrapebox and search Google for "gmail + keyword" for example. Or do they have spiders that crawl the web...?
I would like to do a little experiment to see what kind of email obfuscation works - but I don't know if they go to each and every website on the internet (as long at it has a link to it) or maybe just use google and add some keywords (I would have to actually build some proper backlinks to rank and not to be banned from G)
From my initial test hiding your email with "at"+ "do t" does not work anymore...
I would like to do it on the bigger scale - I built a small website with a list of various obfuscated addresses + built a few links. So far (4 weeks) no spambot showed...
But maybe I should just focus of creating comments (and putting text there) on a pages that are already indexed?...
Funny thing is, when you want to avoid spam you are swimming in junk mail but when you actually want to get it - your inbox is annoyingly empty
