The combinations to try are: Max. Depth (very rarely more than 2, and usually 2); Restrict to (usually 'host', but may be the less restrictive 'domain'); To further restrict the pages you have to start adding patterns to the URL Inclusion and URL Exclusion boxes; I have never had to do this, but it may be necessary in some cases where there is a big jump (level = 1 plucks a few pages, level = 2 hundreds).
