If I may guess, at one point in your web surfing
life, you have been annoyed by the number of junk emails you
received, and
wondered how they got your email address. It is what you give what you
get. If you didn't give out your email address, which has become
equivalent to giving out your phone number or your home address,
then the probability some one will dig your personal information
will be minimum. What did you do ?
Innocently you advertised
your email on your domus, in the chat room or left a small note on the
message boards for your buddy to give you email. Worst case scenario, you
put your email address on large news groups. Yes, you have to sign up with
your email address for a free yahoo site, that you can't help. But at
least at the message boards please be smart how to do it.
The
best protection will be if the server puts a robot.txt file at the root
folder. However, this will prohibit spiders from searching the site and is a loss of business. The robots exclusion protocol states that
if they find a robot.txt file with the following in it they will not index
it
User-agent: *
Disallow/:
The exclusion also states any page with the following tag
should not be indexed, But all this is fake to me. Before I continue with
my suggestions let me drop the meta tag.
