    - Set up your mail account as a normal POP3/SMTP client
    - Set your SMTP server to be "yourdomain.com"
    - Find where it asks if your SMTP servers needs authentication, and click yes
    - Put in your normal email address as the login ID and password.

• All done? Not yet! - Search Engines
  Okay, so now I have a web page. How do I get it on the search engines and what do I do to be on top of a search. Before going to your favorite search engine and applying to be indexed, consider the following
  • Search Engines look at your web page using robots. When you apply to have your site indexed this robot will access your site and index it based on what it finds. It looks for meta tags that list your keywords and contents. It will also  weigh it's index by the closeness to the top of the document it finds the words and how frequent. the key words appear. Some robots will penalize a site if it repeats the same keyword too many times.
  • Do a search using your keywords and see what comes up. Check out their page source and see why they are on top.
  • Once you're near the top, keep checking, as time goes on, your site will start dropping and you will need to change your tactics.
  • You can enlist a company that will register your site for you and even make suggestion as to how to raise your sites hit rate.
