Who is linking to your site?

Go go Google.com and type in:

Google will return a list of urls that have a link to your site.  You can also put in a specific page. 

Example:  site: azgita.gov/digital_gov/Tips.htm

Anti-spam e-mail script

In the html, replace an existing email address (example below) with the javascript code to greatly reduce the amount of junk mail you receive.

<a href="mailto:sanderson@azgita.gov">E-mail me</a>

Code:

<script language="Javascript">
<!--

///simply enter your ename, eserver, a subject and the text you want to appear on the page

ename = "sanderson"
eserver = "azgita.gov"
subject = "Subject Goes Here"
text = "E-mail Me"

///do not change anything below

document.write("<a href='mailto:" + ename + "@" + eserver + "?subject=" + subject + "'>");
document.write(text);
document.write("</a>")
//-->
</script>

This is what the script will look like in the browser:

Easy anti-spam e-mail

In the html, replace the "@" with "&#64"

Code:

<a href="mailto:sanderson&#64azgita.gov">E-mail me</a>

This is what it will look like in the browser: E-mail Me

The down side to using this method, is that some spiders are programmed to look for this.  Although, my use of this method greatly decreased the amount of spam I was receiving.  Your safest bet is to use the javascript above or develop a form.

Auto fill e-mail subject and body

You can create an email link that will automatically fill in the subject line and body when clicked on. Add the following code to your HTML.

Code:

<A HREF="mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=Your Subject&body=Message for the body">you@yourdomain.com</a>

This is what it will look like in the browser:  Email me
