CHICAGO, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- PC Quote.Com, an internal business unit
of PC Quote, Inc. (Amex: PQT), recently unveiled the first phase of a redesign
for its popular web site http://WWW.PC QUOTE.COM. The website receives over 33.9
million page views each month by offering non-fee delayed quotes to all
visitors as well as fee-based real-time subscription market data services.
Intended to improve navigation and the users' overall experience as well as
attract new visitors to the site, the redesign also provides additional high-
impact real-estate for on-line advertisers.
"Regular PC Quote.Com users have already responded favorably to the site's
new look and feel," stated Stephen Rawls, PC Quote Vice President. "The new
streamlined layout allows for easy navigation and quick retrieval of data.
Over the course of the year, the look will gradually proliferate the entire
site and visitors will continue to see navigational improvements, fresh
content and additional investor niches similar to the Futures Resource Center.
We intend to be the definitive source of financial market data and content --
empowering today's sophisticated on-line investors with the tools they need to
make sound investment decisions."
Fully supported by advertising and subscription revenues, PC Quote.Com is
powered by PC Quote HyperFeed(TM) -- the fastest and most reliable datafeed
available and provides investors access to quotes, news, corporate profiles,
fundamentals, corporate actions and IPOs, as well as a variety of real-time
and delayed investment tools including charting and analysis. The site also
offers subscription-based services with partners such as Strategic Weather
Services and The Hightower Report.
"PC Quote.Com has a unique advantage over many other quote-based websites
in PC Quote HyperFeed(TM)," added Jim R. Porter, PC Quote Chairman and CEO.
"HyperFeed(TM) has the bandwidth capacity and ticker-plant technology to
handle soaring market data volumes and our visitors know they can count on
real-time data regardless of market activity. In fact, many users find their
direct real-time feeds fall behind our website quotes."
According to @plan's Winter '99 research, http://www.pcquote.com ranks second
among all content sites for percentage of users with household income over
$50,000 and third for investors with portfolios valued at more than $100,000.
In addition, PC Quote.Com is ranked third for percentage of users who have
shopped on-line for investments during the past six months.
