Information about the use of email forms on the CanadianVacationLocation.com website.
You may have noticed in looking at our company reports that we don't display actual contact email addresses for the companies
that advertise on this travel directory.
We feel that there are very strong reasons why we should use a contact form on our
website, rather than displaying an email address with a 'mailto' email link:
- Email addresses displayed on a website will be harvested by spam software, and these addresses will be sold to spammers. We don't want to expose your business to any unnecessary spam and the use of an email contact form will make it much more difficult for spammers to harvest your email address from our website.
- Many people cannot click on a mailto email link and have their email program open up. This includes users of web-based email services such as Hotmail,
Yahoo, or Google Gmail, or anyone who is using a computer which is not their own - for instance in a library or Internet cafe. Since we would like everyone who uses our travel directory to be able to contact your company from wherever they are accessing the Internet, we have provided this email contact form to make this possible.
We have provided an email contact form on all company reports to make it as easy as possible for CanadianVacationLocation.com visitors to contact you as well as protecting your email address from spammers as much as we possibly can.
