Putting an email address so customers can contact you is a great way for customers to get in touch.
Needing to place an order? Help with Payment? Enquiring about Delivery? - good contact options are essential.
Email is rapidly becoming the prefferred way to get in touch, replacing the phone.
So it's important visitors to your site are given the option to Email you directly.
However, the downside is that if you make your Email address publicly available by listing it on your website you are quickly liable to get a lot of spam and other undesired attention.
The email address is listed on your website in a very recognized format such as "mailto:joeblogs@myemail.com"
You can learn more here Email Address Formatting.
This can be easily detected by a software "bot" or crawler that visits your site and looks for the patterns.
In an instant your whole site can be scraped and email addresses laid bare.
