I think similarweb automatically shows your data if it gets over x-amount of traffic.

So they stick with you :P

Rather have a contact box and ask for their email address with a message within your site.
Let any submissions go to a DB or Email yourself.

@marcantoinefon (Corgi) is building something that notifies you via telegram.

And then you can just respond via email manually if its worth your time.

Also, no more spam... I got a lot of spam when I had my email addy on my site.. It disappeared after I replaced it with a contact box. :D

Haven't seen free ones, but there are really cheap ones. I just got a shared hosting plan for like $3 p/m (from a shared web hosting provider) and I've got like 10 domains and 15+ inboxes hooked up.

Write a lot - often thought provoking / controversial stuff. Share everywhere.

When I was in High School (like 8 years ago) I had a blogger site where I wrote and shared random stuff... I just discovered Linux, was massively impressed and went out of my way to burn Windows -> shared on both a Windows Forum and Ubuntu Forum.
Got like 30+ comments, from both haters and those who liked the article. And my adsense revenue sky-rocketed. :P

No that's Shinbag

Does going bald count?

YouTube + Google Adsense 😂

1) Verify that the user actually entered an email address?
In this case, use a regex script frontend (JS) and/or server side to validate the format of [email protected].

2) Verify that the email the user entered is actually his/her address? Send out a verification email with a once-off link to validate. Not sure what your stack is, but most frameworks have that built in as a start.

Alternatively if you're building a platform that requires login - use Magic Login so that users can only login with an email address, as this will give users a bit of an incentive to use real valid addresses - Same goes for paid subscriptions.
