=======================================
Here are some details from the "front-end" of things:
Visitors can now view articles better, and so can search engines!
New Ways To View Articles:
"Our main problem from before was how to get people & search engines going back and reading older, more hidden articles. For this problem, we've introduced 3 new ways to view articles within categories (View articles by: Newest | Oldest | Most Popular). With these new links, people can now track through some older articles as well as new ones." ... says Martin Lemieux
250 New Categories Added:
"With the introduction of 250 new categories to our list, we can finally call Article99 an "Authors Club". This massive addition now brings our total categories to 400+ categories! We hope to attract many new authors world-wide, and never turn away specialized writers from getting listed." ... says Martin Lemieux
New Editorial Picks:
"Our entire front-end now promotes a new "editors pick" featured article & main category section. Our editors will now pick "the best of the best" in order to help promote authors who deserve an extra boost in traffic, to show off their great article writing skills. This section won't only be used for the most popular authors but instead, it will give everyone a chance to showcase their talents.. We hope that authors will appreciate this new section and will strive to write those "gem articles" as I put it." ... says Martin Lemieux
Author Picture Rotator:
Our front page now rotates all authors with pictures giving every author with a picture more exposure directly from our main page, and also from our new "authors with pictures" section. An article has a lot more credibility if there's an author picture displayed within it." ... says Martin Lemieux
"In the end, I hope authors around the world consider Article99.com one of the best article directories to submit to for promoting their articles, their business, and attracting many publishers online. We will continue to grow and introduce many new & exciting tools for authors to use for years to come. Article99.com has grown a great deal in just a year.
