Setting Issue on Website?

I am getting a lot of unsolicited emails from people asking to (1) write for me or (2) wanting to promote my website.

I am getting about 3 - 5 a day. Is there a setting on wordpress that is causing this? Is there something I can do to prevent these emails. They are more annoying than anything.

Eg of Subject Headlines

Do You Want Up to 100X More Conversions for iscbdforme. ?


Cbd Promotion,Cbd Marketing,Cbd TrafficA


An article for your blog (I get this one a lot!)

So any suggestions on how I can block these emails? Yes, I can block each one individually but I don't have that many hours in the day that I want to do this. Is there something on my website in the backend that might be encouraging these types of emails? Is anyone else experiencing this same aggravation?

Thanks,

Mary Ann

Don't ever put your email address on your website in such a way that a scraper bot can harvest it. I use "marion[at]http://marionblackonline.com" so real people can figure it out and the bots don't "see" the "@" symbol.

Ok. I will try that. Thanks Marion. I really appreciate this. We were told we should have our email address (or a way for people to contact us) but I did not know about using the "at". But if people are completing the Contact 7 form, then how do I stop that?

I just checked yours. It doesn't appear that you are using the Contact 7 form but just have your contact information available there.

I don't use Contact Form 7 but I think there's a way to add a captcha to it to help prevent bots. The scraper bots are looking for the "@" symbol wherever it may appear.

Thanks again. Went in all three websites and fixed them up .
