Enable the Traffic Statistics by categories for the administrator? - allow to keep the statistics by categories. Use "301 Moved Permanently" status while surfers redirection (for search engine)? - Use 301 method (resource moved permanently) to redirect surfers? Used for better search engine visibility.

For uniqueness definition are used only cookie.
Monitoring Sites - members’ web sites availability monitoring and absence of specified content on the site. When the site is inaccessible or contains illegal content, the site will be temporarily blocked until being fixed.

Path Setup
HTML Directory - disk path where rating pages will be created. At the first installation toplist itself tries to determine this path. At moving toplist on the other server it is necessary to check up correctness of this path.
HTML URL - web address of a rating pages directory (HTML Directory).
Forward URL - web address where it is sent surfer after hit on in.cgi. Usually it is the first page of a rating.
CGI URL - web cgi-bin address of a directory where executable .cgi modules of the toplist stored.
In URL - web address of the entrance link on toplist. Usually address of the in.cgi file.
Out URL - web address of the leaving link from toplist. Usually address of the out.cgi file.
Filters and Cheat Protection
Here you can setup traffic filters and toplist cheat protection. The filtration of the traffic is used for filter IN hits determined as: the ununique, hits from proxy servers, hits with IP addresses from black list, and also hits from banned countries.
Cheat Statistics - statistics on cheat attempts of toplist and used filters. The statistics shows how many hits IN was not counted and for what reasons.
Proxy Servers - filtration of hits of the visitors with proxy servers.
Unique Hits - settings of time and method of determination of unique hits. The uniqueness is determined on general base of toplist and on base of each member. One hit can be ununique for all toplist and unique for the visited member, if the previous hit of the same visitor was made from other member.
Count unique Hits IN, Check by IP - count hits IN only from unique IP addresses.
Count unique Hits IN, Check by Cookies - count hits IN only with unique Cookies. Faster, but less reliable, than IP a method of determination of unique hits.
Unique Hits Time - the slice of time, through which repeated hit will be count as unique.
Unique Hits Time for All Members - time of uniqueness of hits for all toplist (disregarding ID of the member). The repeated hit from any ID will not be counted during this time (time in seconds).
Unique Hits Time for Each Member - time of uniqueness of hits for each member. The repeated hit of the visitor from the same ID will not be counted during this time. If set -1, uniqueness for each member will not checked.
Example.
1. Unique Hits Time for All Members = 600 (10 minutes)
2. Unique Hits Time for Each Member = 86400 (24 hours)
With this setttings all repeated hits from any ID within 10 minutes (1) will counted as ununique. If repeated hit occured after 10 minutes (1) within 24 hours (2), system will search this visitor in base of visited member. If this visitor not found in member's base, hit will counted as unique. If repeated hit occured after 24 hours (1 and 2), hit will be always unique.
Referrer Hits - Count only hits with Referrer URL (the backward link) variable. It is applied to filter out hits from PopUp windows.
Banned Countries - the countries from which IN will not be count.
AntiCheat Mechanisms - mechanisms of hits analysis for cheat protection
OUT Session Time - time for keeping out session (in seconds). Time during which the visitor must click on the out link in the rating list for counting of IN hit. Works in "Count IN after OUT hit" mode.
Use Smart OUT link - Smart OUT link contains the unique identifier of session for an elemination of a fake of the link. If the identifier does not coincide with saved on the server, the hit (IN) will not be counted. Works in "Count IN after OUT hit" mode.
Enable Hidden Link - Hidden Link is located in rating page, it is not accessible for visitors. If the given link will be loaded then cheat attempt will be logged to the member of a rating. Works in "Count IN after OUT hit" mode. The configuration information of Hidden Link is available in "Editing List Pages (Mode 1)" macro [#HIDE_URL#].
DFCount protection - mechanisms of hits analysis for cheat protection with using of JavaScript or JavaApplet. Works in "Count IN after OUT hit" mode.
Enable the gateway (double CGI) page - to show the confirmation page before entrance on ranking pages, on which the visitor must click on the link (or button) for transition to the rating page.
Session Time - validation time of session on page of confirmation. Time, during which the visitor must click on the link, for counting of hit IN.
Don't show the gateway page if it is possible - if the hit not unique and will not be counted, the confirmation page will not be shown.
Check the present of referrer on gateway page - if referrer is absent, or not correct - the hit IN will not be counted.
Check the absence of referrer on gateway page - to check up on absence of referring address of page while transition to page of a rating. If it is present - hit IN is not counted. Is used, if the transition is occurred with using of JavaScript, for example, popup window.
Cheaters' Auto Blocker - the mechanism of automatic block and ratios decreasing.
Minimum Hits - the minimum quantity of unique hits with which it is possible ratios decreasing and/or automatic block.
Maximum % of cheat attempts for enabling mechanisms. - the maximal percent of cheat attempts from number of unique hits at which ratios decreasing does not occur.
Change member's In hits ratio reinforcing factor - to strengthen change of ratios at exceeding of normal conditions. 0 - to not change ratio. 100 - to lower ratio in 2 times if normal conditions are exceeded in 2 times.
Block Mode multiplier - a multiplier of the maximal percents of cheat attempts (in percentage). For example at value of 100 - block percents are equal to percents of ratio decreasing, at excess of these percents the member will be blocked at once. At value of 200 - block percents are equal to the double percents of ratio decreasing.
