If you use a website of any kind as part of your mediation marketing strategy, then you probably include a way for visitors to contact you via the site. I’ve written about ways spammers harvest email addresses from websites and have offered a few work-arounds to balance your interest in being reachable with your interest in keeping your email out of mega-spammers’ slimy little hands.

Now there’s a new option from Contactify and it’s pretty straightforward. First, you create a free Contactify account with your email address and password of your choosing. You then receive a Contactify link that you can post anywhere on your own site or even use in place of your email address in a chat form or other similar place. When people click on that link, they’re taken to an online contact form. When they submit the form, you receive an email with their name, email address and message. They never see your email address.

Contactify is still in beta but seems to work smoothly.
