We’re #97!
Wikio has published their April list of the top 100 music blogs, and there is The Bluegrass Blog at #97! That’s not bad for a bluegrass music site when the rest of the blogs are geared toward pop, rock and rap.
Wikio is a blog and news aggregator, and a search engine for blogs developed in France in 2006. It is available online in French, Italian, Spanish, German and English.
Their rankings are automated, dynamic lists generated based on links to individual blogs within news articles and RSS feeds.
Thanks to all our readers – and those other blogs and news services who link to us – for helping us make the top 100!
