General Options...

Previous  Top  Next

There are five groups of general options. The first group controls how sites are retrieved from the search engines. These options are:

·	The total number of web pages to retrieve when creating a new market.

·	How much time is allowed to create a new market.

The second group of options controls how 3DMarketVision uses AdWords. These options are:

·	The AdWords Email that is used when logging into AdWords.

·	The AdWords Password that is used when logging into AdWords.

·	The time allowed to get keyword information from AdWords.

The third group describes what the Sites column for each keyword means:

·	Normal - the number of webpages containing this keyword.

·	Intitle - the number of webpages containing this keyword in the title.

·	Allintitle - the number of webpages having every word in the keyword in the title.

·	Inurl - the number of webpages containg this keyword in the URL address.

·	Allinurl - the number of webpages having every word in the keyword in the URL address.

The fourth group of options controls the builing of silos in the Keywords | Build Silos menu item.

·	Silo Count - this option determines the maximum number of silos that will be built. By default this is set at 9 because that is the number of silo colors that are initially defined in Tools | Color Options.

·	Silo Threshold - while building silos, 3DMarketVision decides what keywords to put in a silo based on the TR column value. If the keyword is this percentage similar to a building silo, it will become part of that silo. By default this value is 80%.

The fifth group of options controls the use of a proxy server. A proxy server is sometimes needed if you are behind a fire wall or for other reasons.

·	Proxy Server - put in the address of the server in numerical form (example: 127.0.0.1).

·	Port - the numerical port used by the proxy server (example: 80).

·	Use Proxy - a checkmark means the proxy will be used, otherwise it will not be used.
