Google's PageRank technology ranks Web sites based on page quality and content.
"We're thrilled that Google has recognized HardRadio.com as a leader in the online music world," said Tracy Barnes, founder and president of HardRadio.com. "These honors help solidify our position as the most visited, content-rich heavy metal and hard rock destination on the internet, a prize well-earned after paving the way for online music in the mid-1990s. The website's various tools give metal heads and rock fans the ultimate package of online music, videos, news and sneak peaks at the hottest new bands."Listeners connect to the trailblazing radio station through its HardRadio.com web address, which also offers content ranging from in-depth album reviews and band interviews to release dates and upcoming events.
