What is the unique profile page name?
The unique profile page name is a phrase or set of keywords which is used to form the URL address of your profile.
When the URL address is formed, all non-alphabet characters are removed and all residual characters are joined with dashes. For example, if the unique profile page name is "It's my 1st profile," it will be parsed to "it-s-my-st-profile" and the final URL would be http://www.world-list.org/it-s-my-st-profile-XXXXX.html, where XXXXX is the profile ID. It makes sense to use content-relevant keywords as the unique name. It would give the profile a certain advantage in a search engine results when someone uses these keywords in a search request.
The unique profile page name can be changed from within the Personal Details page. However, changing the unique profile page name is followed by a change in the profile's URL. This will have a negative effect on search engine indexing. Think twice before changing your unique profile page name.

What is the benefit of having my profile published on this website?
Our visitors will learn about you and your business not through trademarks, labels or logos, but through a "personal" meeting. Also, your profile will help to improve your website link popularity, promoting it to advanced search systems like Google, Yahoo! and others.
How do you form the URL of my profile page?
What is the difference between the [ref] and [refnofollow] link tags?
When you use the [refnofollow] tag, it means that the link gains the rel="nofollow" attribute. To learn more about this kind of link, please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow. If you do not want to go into the details of its purpose, then just use the [ref] tag.
Do you allow the use of HTML tags in the profile body?
No. Please use the special service-specific tags [b], [i], [h1], [h2], [img_left_X], [img_right_X], [ref], and [refnofollow], all of which are explained in the 'Add/Edit Profile' page of your account.
Is it possible that my profile will not be published?
Yes. If your profile violates our Terms of Use Agreement, violates copyrights of a third party, or may raise a dispute with third parties, then profile publication is suspended until all issues are resolved. Also, the profile cannot be approved for publication if the quality of the text is inappropriate. Please read our Terms of Use Agreement and this sample profile
My profile was suspended, what should I do?
If your profile has been suspended, it means the profile violates the general Terms of Use or there are other concerns like an alleged violation of copyright from a third party. Please contact us and make sure the profile complies with the requirements stated in our Terms of Use Agreement. Also, please see 'Is it possible that my profile will not be published?'
What is the field 'profile on/off' for?
You can enable or disable the publication of profile content, making it visible or invisible to the public. If the profile is in an 'off' state, there will be no 404 "page does not exist" error. Instead, the profile page will display a message stating that the profile is currently unavailable.
How soon will my profile be published? What is the publication period time?
A profile that complies with the Terms of Use Agreement will be approved published as soon as you pay the subscription fee. The profile is available on the website for one year (12 months) from the time of subscription activation. You can extend the publication period by pre-paying the subscription fee for the additional years.
Can I edit my profile?
Yes. You can edit it as many times as you'd like. The profile will be continuously visible to the public during and after editing. Our general requirement is that you maintain compliance with our Terms of Use.
Can I change the position of my profile on the website?
Yes. You can easily upgrade your profile to the leading position on the general profile list. This is a paid service. Please note that if another member uses this service to upgrade his/her profile, he/she will effectively shift your profile down one position. That's why this service cannot guarantee a permanent placement of your profile on the top of the page. However, it will remain on the main page for a long time. Profiles on the main page generate more visitors and get extra bonuses through search engine indexing.
I lost my password. How can I recover it?
You need to go to the password recovery page 'Forgot your password?', which is available from the Sign In page. Here, you enter the e-mail address you used during registration. The password will be replaced with a new one that is automatically generated and sent to your email address. You can then define your new password by logging in to your account and proceeding to the 'Personal Details' page.
Why I cannot find my profile with my keywords using this website's search system?
The search index of this server is updated once every few hours. Most likely, not enough time has passed since you edited your profile. Try again later in a few hours.
