Spam bots are getting smarter — filling out contact and newsletter forms with realistic names and fake emails. Even CAPTCHA, honeypots, and double opt-ins are failing to stop them. In this episode, Charly unpacks why spam is worse than ever and what business owners must do now to protect their websites and email deliverability.
📌 You’ll learn:
✅ Why junk leads hurt your deliverability and can get you banned from Mailchimp or AWeber
✅ What tactics bots are using to bypass traditional spam filters
✅ Why CAPTCHA might be hurting your conversions more than helping
✅ How to layer multiple protections like honeypots, time-based filters, and dynamic form tokens
✅ Why Cloudflare Turnstile is Charly’s top new tool for smart bot filtering
✅ How to keep your site fast and secure without annoying users
🔗 Tools mentioned: Cloudflare Turnstile, Zero Spam, Fail2Ban
🛡️ Don’t wait until your list is full of junk — secure your forms before bots do.
