Making your email address less visible to robots and spiders will cut down on SPAM. Change from giving your email address to giving a URL to your personal site, and use a good JavaScript email address obfuscator on a Web page that shows your address.

If you don't have a personal Web site, use a simple URL. Services like http://www.makeashorterlink.com/ and http://www.tinyurl.com take a URL and make a short ones. They are designed to make it simpler to send hyperlinks, but they work great on email addresses as well. Use these services to create a a URL for you email address in the form mailto:name@example.com and publish the resulting reference URL. Real humans who click on the links have no problems, but robots trolling for email addresses ignore them. Well, it will unless my little trick becomes too widespread. :-)
