Spammers using Contact Us form?

Question

Hello,

I have a fairly new site and need some help with spam. I did all the SEO stuff and submitted to various directories, have a few sponsored spots, and a PPC campaig at Yahoo! The daily hits are steadily growing, along with some growing pains. I have contact us page that sends an email to [e-mail] (example) whenever someone fills it out. But I have noticed a steady inflow of spam over the past few days. How can I stop this? I have seen various sites that have similar forms that require a certain text to be filled in a box, and that text has to be the same as the text on an image right next to the box. I’ll appreciate it if anyone can refer me to a simple script that can create images with text on them. I have designed my site using asp.

Thank you in advance.


Regards,

Mike
