Avoiding Spam - Be Spammi-Cautious

NO, not THIS SPAM :)
Tired of getting increasing amount of spam (also notoriously know as junk mail) in your inbox? Well, I've got two great tips for you :)
Spammers reach us when:
1) we show our email addresses publicly on a website or blog; spammers use their software (known as bots) to automatically search the web for publicly listed email addresses and starts spamming their preys!
Hot Tip 1: Never show or post your email address(es) publicly on your blog
or websites.
2) we submit our email addresses to websites which did not promise that our submitted email addresses will not be given out to third parties, which may often by spammers.
Hot Tip 2: Be cautious when submitting your email address to any websites. I understand that it is sometimes unavoidable and that it is necessary to to do so e.g. for subscription of a service or to verify that your email address is valid, that is why it is important that you trust the websites before trusting them with your email address. Some websites guarantee a spam-free email submission. Another great tip is to notice how the website asks for your email. Websites with a lot of advertisements, pop-ups and products/services subscription offers should make you more suspicious when submitting your email address to them as they are great candidates to be spammers.
Be spammmi-cautious everyone :). Oh btw, subscription to my blog is 100% spam-free, guaranteed!
