Proxy options

Proxy options tab allows tuning program for work with a proxy server if you are using proxy to connect to the Internet

Search Parameters

• Maximum number of links to find for each SE - set the maximum number of positions to be analyzed in the search results of each search engine when querying for new partners with Find New Partners Wizard.
• Consider sites with and without prefixes the same - sometimes the sites are tuned so that a prefix is attached before the domain name of the site, creating various nodes, for example a site http://mysite.com may have prefixes http://mail.mysite.com, http://admin.mysite.com, etc. Moreover, the prefix www may be used to feed alternative version of the site. But in most cases the pages with and without www are served with same content. So, if this check box is selected, the program will consider such pages the same.
• Follow links on the partner page if the link back not found - if the program does not find a link to your site on the page where it used to be located, it will follow the links on that page and scan subsequent pages for your link
• Follow links on your page if the partner link not found - the program will check if the link to your partner is still present on your partners page; if it is not there, the program will follow the links on that page and scan subsequent pages for your partner's link

Update...

If you choose this menu item the program will connect to program support server and check if there is newer Search Engine Scripts database available there.
