We began adding captcha images to our client contact forms about a year ago and it cut down TREMENDOUSLY on the amount of spam submissions received. Any of the methods discussed by Cutts are simple and effective. By the way, I still see a lot of dealers displaying their email address on their site. That's another way to open yourselves up to additional spam. Any of the reputable web development companies will have measures against spam.

Does anyone know of a dealer website company that offers the type of spam fighting applications that Cutts discussed in this video or is it something that we have to go out and get on our own and "bolt on" to our websites? I've been asking Reynolds and Reynolds for this for over a year now. I really like the idea of having someone answer a simple math question before they submit a form. Good stuff.
