This new author admin system is full of tools, tutorials, and multiple ways for authors to promote their business online. Read on for specific details...

"With so many article directory copycats popping up everywhere, I wanted to set Article99 aside from the rest. The question wasn't what should I implement, it was more a factor of how. As an author myself, I took a strong look at what other websites had to offer and tried to come up with a list of specific tools and features that should be added to our system to better an authors experience with Article99.com. I hope authors world wide will come to appreciate our new system, and use it daily to help promote themselves, and their talents." ... says MartinÂ Lemieux

"Above and beyond our back-end system, I've added some key tools to the front end of Article99.com to help gain a great deal of exposure to everyone, not just our popular authors." ... says MartinÂ Lemieux

=======================================

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 MartinÂ 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 MartinÂ 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 MartinÂ 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. So far we've been able to attract over 5,000 authors, who have over 10,000+ articles live as of now.

Here are some website stats as of August, 2006:

Alexa.com traffic rank of "50,358"
Pages per Day 43,833(Ave) - 85,213(Max)
Visits per Day 2,393(Ave) - 3,523(Max)
Hits per Day 70,432(Ave) - 114,090(Max)
