Re: [GWL]: daily search engines for gardening articles

Sorry, This is a correction to my last post.  Northern Lights is not going down it is switching to no public access unless you pay for your searches. The Webmasters who track things like this note that they were getting so few referrals from them that they do not care  and wish them a lot of luck.
