Hey…

You ever notice that website contact information is often presented cryptically?

There’s a reason for that.

Little creepy electronic spiders, crawlers, and web bots run all over the internet constantly. They are snooping, gathering information, and collecting e-mail addresses. Sometimes for purposes that don’t help anyone but themselves. 

(People who know will say that over half of all the internet traffic is “bot” traffic. Like, more bots than people.) 

So we all try to convey our e-mail address to you in a “not typical” way.  So the bots can’t easily find it.  It’s kind of like spelling N-A-P in front of your toddler.

• Maybe it’s spelled out, like this: Carrye at (this website) MTT Copywriting (with a) dot com.
• Maybe it’s in a picture of an envelope, instead of actual text. 
• Maybe it’s a contact form.

Pretty clever, right? Now you know.
