Great. Postfix is listening and wants us to speak SMTP:

Postfix appreciates the EHLO and tells us which features it provides:

Hey, Postfix, we have a mail from [email protected]:
mail from:<[email protected]>
Looks like Postfix is happy with that because return codes that start with a '2' are good news:
250 2.1.0 Ok
Tell Postfix who the recipient of the mail is:
rcpt to:<[email protected]>
Postfix accepts that:
250 2.1.5 Ok
Then we are ready to send the actual mail:
data
Postfix agrees and tells us we can send the actual mail now and end our input with a dot on an empty line:
354 End data with <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>
Okay, type in the mail:
Hi John, just wanted to drop you a note. .
Postfix tells us it has received the mail and queued under a queue ID:

# ezjail-admin start myjail.com if you are getting this error "warning: smtputf8_enable is true, but EAI support is not compiled in" on freebsd 9.3 (maybe freebsd 10) it's a bug in the port config. EASY way to fix it (well best way to fix it) is to compile postfix with EAI support.

The Apache module is no longer inside ports/lang/php5. there is no option to build php with apache.
The fix:
use www/mod_php5 to get apache to run php
Also note that
The Apache PHP module has been separated from the main PHP port. If you had the APACHE OPTION selected, you have to perform the following steps:
1) update your lang/php* options (i.e. 'make config')
2) rebuild lang/php* port
3) install www/mod_php* port
It is mandatory to build both ports with the same DEBUG and ZTS options, so if you have a threaded Apache (i.e. worker or event MPM) you have to select the ZTS option in lang/php* port.
if you have this error
===> mod_php55-5.5.17_1 is marked as broken: : Error from bsd.apache.mk. apache22 is installed (or APACHE_PORT is defined) and port requires apache. *** [install] Error code 1 then make sure you add this line to /etc/make.conf

"<link rel="author" href="https://plus.google.com/+guneetsinghseo-expert/posts" />"

Summary: Aforesaid are some of the simple and effective ways to speed up your SEO process and get the natural rankings in search engines.
Are you a startup taking your rst steps into the online space? Do you have a small business that’s been operating without a website? Or do you have a website that isn’t driving the sales you want?
Then this is for you. We’ll take you through the basics of getting online and in front of customers with a site that will:
Step 1 – Naming the Baby: Choosing & Registering Your Domain Name
You’ve conceived and developed your business idea and committed the time and resources to start making it a reality. Now it’s time to give your business its online name – a name that will be spoken, linked to, searched for, printed and displayed in a variety of ways throughout the life of your business. Choose wisely.
Make Your Domain Simple and Memorable Keeping your domain name simple will help people remember it and make it easier to nd.
Take Advantage of Longer Registrations
Register your domain name for 2, 5 or even 10 years.
Step 2 – Creating the Experience: Writing & Building Your Website
So now you have a domain name, but what will people find when they visit it? Creating a clear, user-friendly website sounds easy, but it takes planning. Make sure your goals for the site are clear as you begin writing your content and creating the design.
Decide What Type of Site You Need
Decide What Extras You Want
There are several general pages that most websites include (see common website pages, right), but do you want any extras?
Common Website Pages
Informational
• Home page – the main entryway to your website
• Services page – what are you selling or o ering?
• About page – who are you?
• Contact page – how do customers reach you?
Ecommerce
• Home page – the main entryway to your website
• Product page – what are you selling?
• Consider adding multiple pages per product or an overview page if you have more than 10
• Reviews/testimonials page – what do people say about your products?
• About page – who are you?
• Contact page – how do customers reach you?
Step 3 – Getting Found: Making Your Site Google-Friendly
No matter how much time you spend creating a beautiful, functional website, it’s of no value if it can’t be found. Search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo! act like customized online directories, pointing the user to
websites matching the terms the users used in their search.
How Google and Other Search Engines
Work Using software robots called spiders, search engines “crawl” through websites to analyze content and determine what the site is about and how valuable its information is. Among other things, the spiders note:
Submitting to Search Engines
First things, first. To get your website on the list you have to tell the search engines that it’s there. You can do this yourself, or use a search engine submission service. Submission services will take care of submitting your site to each major search engine and can also provide you with reports, tips for increasing search engine rankings, and a keyword suggestion tool.
Choosing Your Keywords
What Are Keywords?
Keywords are words used within the content of your site that help search engines identify what the site is about. They usually relate to your industry, your products and services, your location and anything else a customer might search for when trying to nd a business like yours.
Identifying Keywords
Google o ers a free keyword tool at www.google.com/adwords where you can enter words related to your company to see how often they’re searched.
Step 4 – Engaging in the Conversation: Building Your Community with Social Media Your site is up and running, you’re creating content, you’re marketing online to your customers – do you REALLY need to spend time on social media? Yes. The reality of today’s culture is that whether you choose to participate in social media or not, customers and prospects WILL talk about you online. Being part of the conversation gives you the opportunity to change perceptions, create loyalty and win sales.
Monitoring the Conversation
Before you begin posting on social media, it’s vital that you have tools in place to monitor what’s being said about your business.
To set up a monitoring program:
Which Social Media Platforms Should I Use?
Twitter posts are limited to 140 characters, so most businesses use Twitter for sharing links to company news and announcements, “retweeting” (sharing) other announcements from the industry, responding to customer mentions and support questions.
Facebook has good tools in place for running contests, posting photos or videos and writing longer posts.
LinkedIn is great for connecting with other businesses, joining educational groups related to your industry and posting job openings.
FourSquare is good for restaurants, stores, and other businesses with physical locations. Customers can “check in” on FourSquare to tell their friends/followers where they are at the moment.

Strategize Before Clicking ‘Post’
Now that you’re monitoring conversations about your business and industry, you can consider what type of information you want to post on your social media accounts.

While on the surface social media platforms can seem informal, remember that you are representing your business brand, so post carefully.

Now you have your site up and running and are ready to begin driving people to it.

Conclusion
While the setup phase will probably be the most consecutive time you spend on your website, the reality is that your site will never be “finished.” Maintaining and updating the content will be necessary as long as your company exists. But your site will also be one of your most cost-e ective sales tools and the rst touchpoint for many customers. So make time to make it good – it’s your company’s home base and face to the world. Good luck!
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a moving picture adds to that figure exponentially. As a dynamic and immediate marketing tool, video is the next best thing to greeting potential customers face-to-face. Plus, not only can videos help deliver traffic from search engines like Google, but video thumbnails tend to catch the eye in search results better than linked text.
But if a slick, professionally produced clip isn’t within your budget, that’s ok – today’s affordable web and phone cams make it inexpensive to create do-it-yourself videos that look and sound clean enough to get your message across in a professional way.
Online video powerhouse YouTube is the world’s second-largest search engine, reaching 4 billion views per day in January. And as a free service, you don’t need budget to upload videos. That means, all you need to start connecting with your audience is a camera, a story and a plan.
Don’t know where to start? Here are five tips for messaging and presentation of your video:
| Tip 1 – | Make it unique: Because the chances are there are already countless videos out there related to your field, it’s important to make your message as unique as possible. Offer hard-to-find information that satisfies a real customer need. Don’t discuss what you want to. Focus on what they want to learn about. |
| Tip 2 – | Make it friendly: Keep your tone light and conversational. Try to make a personal connection. Present a real-life situation, and address it with a demo of your product. Entertain if you can. |
| Tip 3 – | Make it quick: Bear in mind the attention span of the viewer. Deliver the message as succinctly as possible – 5 minutes or less for best results. For in-depth or supplemental info, link to a blog post. (You have a blog, right? No? No worries – you can easily start one with the free WordPress blog capability we include in our discounted hosting packages.) |
| Tip 4 – | Make a deal: Share a video coupon, a special code for a discount or deal for those who watch the video to its end. |
| Tip 5 – | Make it viral: Upload it to YouTube; post it on Twitter and Facebook. Do whatever you can to make it spread. Craft your message with this in mind: Be funny, be poignant, be memorable. |

Freebsd has an issue with eAccelerator right now where when you try to start it it gives you an error "eAccelerator: shmmax should be at least 2MBPHP Warning"
To fix this we're going to remove eAccelerator then reinstall it:
# cd /usr/ports/www/eaccelerator
# make deinstall
# vi MakeFile
The "CONFIGURE_ARGS=" line needs to be changed so it looks like this
CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-eaccelerator-shared-memory \
--with-eaccelerator-userid=80 \
--without-eaccelerator-use-inode
save the file and exit
then
# make install clean
restart apache
