some.name@service.com or pet12@service.co.cc

You can replace this format or your email address other way which can be only revealed by humans like

some(dot)name(at)service(dot)com

Every Internet user must have come across CAPTCHA for various log in services. CAPTCHA is a simple words or numbers in image format that you have to solve and enter the correct words, which get give you the authority.

If you have a blog you can also use CAPTCHA on your contact page to hide your email address. The service described here is provided by Google and so 100% secure.

Visit Google reCAPTCHA site
Enter your email address which you want to use for contact and press Protect It! button.
You will be given two options to embed the code in your web page. One is simple URL and other is HTML code.
If you want to put just simple URL code, just copy the complete URL code and link it with the anchor text on your page. When someone click on the anchor text, he will be directed to the CAPTCHA window, after solving which the email address will be displayed.
Other way you can also use HTML code to embed in your blog widget and you can fully customize it with parameters like title, height, width, and primary address to display etc.
You can edit the HTML code to match your formatting.
