Thanks for this informative video. However, In you video around at 2:10/6:09 ... I think you explained the Honeypot exactly the opposite. The Honeypot catches the bots who fills in the Honeypot fields. The Honypot field does not show to normal human visitors hence no chance for them to fill in the values.
Love your advice on avoiding spam on Elementor forms. Can you do a video on cold email tools like DoYouMail? Been using it for around 4 months, and the unlimited email sending capabilities cannot be overstated. It is super easy to set up, especially with the automatic DNS configurations. Highly recommend!
Thanks! I use FluentCRM and I like to focus on permission marketing. It gets much better results than cold email marketing. Look for 'Permission Marketing' by Seth Godin, it's a great book
I'm adding honeypots in a different language. Would that help? For example, the form is in English but I add a couple more honeypots in a different language.
Good questions. The entries don’t go through or are not seen is legit submissions. The honeypots just throw off the bots. 1 or 2 won’t trick them, but 4-5 seems to do the trick.
Nice video! Questions: - why don't you like using Google captcha? (You can hide those annoying popups on the right correctly) - If you use a website in another language, do you need to have the label name of the honeypot in the same language as the real field labels or in English for the bots?
Great questions. Googles been having lots of issues with GDPR and it don’t like filling out forms with captcha. I prefer Clean Talk over Captcha. And we do lots of sites in Thai and the honeypots still work using English
If I inspect the code of the website with the form, I can see that elementor shows these honeypots as hidden elements with the labels you suggested. Well, wouldn't a bot not see the code and conclude not to fill these in to pass as human?
@@FrankLopezz I use a combination of methods for tracking clicks and conversions. First are heat maps. These give me the most insight into clicks and user behavior on a site and let’s me know what needs to be changed to improve conversions. The other are thank you pages where possible. I also like to use Plausible for analytics. It give a clean and easy to read overview of entry and exit pages, where traffic is coming from and is much lighter than Google Analytics and GDPR compliant.
Good question. TBH I’m not sure on this one. I’d learn towards probably not since the form and everything else in the pop up isn’t in the code until the pop up is triggered
Yeah we had a client once that had cleantalk and it hammered thier sites performance. May have been that they had everything turned on or that it wasn't setup will but seemed pretty heavy on performance.
Try goin through the settings, turning everything off and then turning on only what’s needed. Also, I use Asset Clean up to disable code from plug ins to load on pages they aren’t needed. I got a video coming up next on this.
Captcha and math quizzes are no obstacles to Eric Jones! I started with captcha, then replaced it with a math quiz. No good. Eric Jones is too good for that. The only thing (that I've seen so far) that stops Eric Jones dead in his tracks is a plugin called Maspik. Works gangbusters. The only trouble now is that instead of the spam arriving in my email inbox, it's filling up the Maspik spam log. Would the honeypot method defeat Eric Jones? I heard he uses a Python script.

Yes, yes, yes with the 4 x Honeypot.
If 4 doesn’t work that can try 5 lol 😝
Great tips. I got a lot of Eric Jones-spam through my contact forms and with your tips I could stop them.
Thank you for this! Super cool video! A+++

Hey I use the recapcha but I have it hidden too! Seems to work awesome too
Can you please share the name of the plugin?
Do you just have a global display: none; on it or how do you hide it ?
Easy and straightforward tip, thank you!
🙏

It’s definitely worth a try
How does adding the honypots help? I would like you would still get the entries with those added fields.
Good questions. The entries don’t go through or are not seen is legit submissions. The honeypots just throw off the bots. 1 or 2 won’t trick them, but 4-5 seems to do the trick.
Awesome! I hate how much the captcha loads it kills some of my page scores.

@@LytboxStudio Okay great thanks!
+ Google Captcha kills your performance really hard
I have been using CleanTalk for years now. Works Great!
I love Clean Talk. It just works!
how can I stop URL and emails in the message box on Elementor Form?
If I inspect the code of the website with the form, I can see that elementor shows these honeypots as hidden elements with the labels you suggested. Well, wouldn't a bot not see the code and conclude not to fill these in to pass as human?
Well…there are smart bots and not so smart bots.
plz plz help me....Recaptcha is not working when embed in a popup form and i am using gravity form in popup
Awesome tip! Thank you 🔥
Thanks!
@@LytboxStudio What’s your process for tracking Specific button clicks and phone call clicks? Thanks in advance 🙏

@@LytboxStudio Great info! Appreciate you brother 💯
Awesome! Going to try this 👍
Cool 😎 thanks!
Nice tip! thanks for sharing !
Great tip bro!
Thanks a lot!
I appreciate that!
thank you i will try this
Can bots spam you from a contact form thats a popup?
Good question. TBH I’m not sure on this one. I’d learn towards probably not since the form and everything else in the pop up isn’t in the code until the pop up is triggered
Yes they can.
Unfortunately the honeypot method no longer works.
DOOM . This is the guy I want teaching me about elementor for sure
I thought Eric Jones is writing his kind mails just for me 🙄😜 I hate him. thanks for your video - hopefully it helps...
Hopefully someday we catch the real Eric Jones 🤣
Thanks for the tip!!! begone spam XD
Absolutely!
Thank You Very Much I Really Plan On Being An Upcoming Producer??
Didn't work for me...
The bots are getting smarter. I started using Turnstile and it's been working like a charm
who is Eric Jones?
That’s the best question yet! I’ve been wondering who is Eric Jones for years
Eric jones more famous than James Earl Jones 🤦♂️ thanks for the tip I’ll try it !
Haha sure it!
Eric Jones became as famous as John Doe 🤦🏽♂
Definitely infamous. Nothing like a client messaging me asking who is Eric Jones
honeypots dont work anymore..
I test cleantalk and from A in gtmetrix I received a D score 🤔
Yeah we had a client once that had cleantalk and it hammered thier sites performance. May have been that they had everything turned on or that it wasn't setup will but seemed pretty heavy on performance.

You know I have never even given a thought to honeypots, always gone straight to Recaptcha. Certainly going to try this method!
It’s definitely worth a try before adding ReCAPTCHA 💪
