This tab provides profile information for the project. Project profile is the information, describing major features of the project. To create a new project click New. Every time the program starts it loads project you worked with during the last session. If you have other projects saved during previous sessions, you can load them by clicking Open and browsing to the project file. By default all your projects are saved in the program folder, subfolder db/projects. You cannot move or copy your projects to another computer. If you want to rename the existing project, click Rename. Do not edit or move project folders directly! To save the project, click Save Now. To save the same project under another name, click Save As.

There are two tabs on the Profile module. On the General tab you can see the following fields:

• Site URL. Enter the address of the start page of your site. You may also enter address of any page of your site, but provided that this page has links to other pages. If it does not have external links, Spider will not be able to find other URLs on your site.
• Website title. As a rule, the first page of the site has the name of the site. It is strongly recommended that every page on the site should have its own individual title. Avoid naming pages "index.html", or "Welcome!".
• Author. The name of the author of the website.
• Description. This field contains short description of the page or the whole site. There are no restrictions for the number of characters in this field, but it is not recommended that the description tag exceeds 255 characters.
• Keywords. This field contains the keywords of your site. Enter keywords one by one, and press Enter or click Add. To find the information about the keyword on the Internet, click Search. The program will open the word in Search Tool, using which you will be able to search the word in most world and national search engines. To find a list of keywords most relevant to your site topic click Find Keywords - the program will open Keyword Tracker module. If you have a list of keywords stored in a text file, you can press Import from text file, and browse to the file. The program will extract your keywords and add them to the list. You can also save your keywords to an external text file by clicking Export to text file.
• Category. When submitting to FFA engines or directories you must select a category that is the most relevant for your site.

Once you have entered site URL, you can get all this information from your actual site by clicking Extract.

On the Advanced tab you can enter your or your client's personal information.

• User Login, User Password - this information is used if you have to login to get access your site.
• First Name, Last Name - personal information
• Company
• E-mail Address - your real e-mail address for receiving e-mail reports
• Junk e-mail - e-mail address for junk mail, or spam
• Address1, Address2 - place(s) of your residence
• City - city of residence
• State/Province - State or province of residence (only for US and Canada)
• ZIP/Postal code
• Country
• Work Phone, Home Phone, Fax, Language - contact information

Project Site Category. To submit your site to directories and/or FFA sites and networks you have to select category, which is the most relevant to your site's content. Click Choose category and depending on the types of promotional resources you are going to submit your site to, you must choose three categories for your site:

• General engines - a category to which your site will be submitted at most directories and FFA sites. Also, some search engines require selecting category for a site.
• Yahoo category - the list of categories in Yahoo directory is constantly changing, so the program extracts current list of categories every time you expand the categories tree. Remember, that Yahoo requires paying $ 299 for getting a commercial site listed in its directory. All other categories are free.
• DMOZ category - much like Yahoo category, Dmoz categories are extracted from the directory every time you expand the categories tree

To expand category tree, click next to the node name. Loading the subcategory may take some time, so if it takes too long, most probably your internet connection is down. In such case you may press Abort button to terminate the operation. To choose category, click on it and press Select category. Above the categories tree window you can see what category is currently selected.
