Search Gen Usage Info:
--------------------------------------------

# OF PAGES TO GENERATE:
	This one is self-explanatory... the number of pages search gen will create in this batch. Max is 5,000

RANDOM WORD LIST:
	The full path to the "filler.txt" file. A default "filler.txt" file is included in the initial installation of search gen. You should customize this file so it contains up to 200 words. These are NOT your sites keywords! These will only be used as filler words to create randomly worded paragraphs.

	This file MUST be formatted with only ONE WORD PER LINE.
 

RANDOM PREFIX WORD LIST:
	The full path to the "namefiller.txt" file. A default "namefiller.txt" file is included in the initial installation of search gen. You should customize this file so it contains up to 200 words. These are NOT your sites keywords! These will only be used as a prefix in the names of the HTML pages that are generated. All pages are named with this pattern:
	 
	<name-filler-word><random-number>.html

	This file MUST be formatted with only ONE WORD PER LINE.
	

PATH TO PROJECT OUTPUT DIRECTORY:
	You must choose a folder where all html pages that are generated by serach gen will be stored after they are created. You should use a new folder for each batch of pages you make in order to keep them organized. A simple way to organize them is to name each output folder according to which website you are generating the pages for.


ACTUAL SITE TITLE:
	This is where you enter the actual site title of the website you are generating these pages for. Do not include keywords in this field... the "title keyword" field below is the one used to build keyword title tags. This one should only include your actual title.

EXACT LINK TEXT:
	This will be the phrase used as the "CLICK HERE TO ENTER" text on each generated page. It will be linked to the "URL:" you list in the next field.

URL:
	This should be the URL of the webpage or program you want all visitors directed to. the "EXACT LINK TEXT" (above) will be linked to this URL on each page generated.

BACKGROUND COLOR:
	This is the background color that will be used on all pages generated. By default it is set to #ffffff which is white. If you wanted a black background on your pages you would set this to #000000 or whatever other color code you feel appropriate.

MAIN FILE PREFIX:
	This should only be one word. It will be used as the name of the "MAIN INDEX PAGE" that search gen creates for each batch of pages. This is the page that has a link to each of the otehr pages generated. It is the only page necessary to submit to search engines. This defaults to INDEX which will make the page named INDEX.HTML thus making it the only page visible if someone tries to view your directories contents, however you can set it to whatever you want.

TEXT COLOR:
	This is the color of the text in the random paragraphs that are created. Generally you'll want to make this similar (but not exactly the same) as the page background color so that the "ENTER HERE" link is the most visible text on the page thus generating more clickthrus.

TITLE KEYWORD(S):
	This should be 1 - 3 keywords (or a phrase) that best describe your site. This will be used to generate multiple randomly worded title tags.

	This is the total number of words that will make up these tags. Default is 20 which means the combination of KEYWORDS and FILLER WORDS that is uses will not exceed 20 words. Set this to whatever number you see fit.

	This should be 1 - 3 keywords (or a phrase) that best describe your site. This will be used to generate multiple randomly worded meta tags.

----MAX. # OF WORDS:
	This is the total number of words that will make up these tags. Default is 20 which means the combination of KEYWORDS and FILLER WORDS that is uses will not exceed 20 words. Set this to whatever number you see fit.

	This should be 1 - 3 keywords (or a phrase) that best describe your site. This will be used to generate multiple randomly worded comment tags within the body fo your page.
