Web Rings As A Promotion Tool

Web rings provide a different way to organize sites. They are a free service offered to the Internet community. Web rings arrange sites with similar content by linking them together in a circle, or a ring. Each link in the ring is directed to a CGI script on the web ring’s server that sends the viewer on to the next site in the ring. There are literally thousands of rings with subjects such as communications, games, art, real estate, and so on. If there isn’t a ring suitable for your site, you can create your own. The visitors you receive from participating in the web ring will be potential customers who are responsive to the content of your site and curious about your products or services.
