A Web ring is made up of a number of topic specific sites that are grouped together. Using navigation links found most often at the bottom of the members page, visitors can travel to all or any of the sites and they can move through the ring in either direction, going to the next or previous site, or selecting sites at random. Web rings are entirely open and free of charge to both visitors and members. Today, Web rings are experiencing growth rates in excess of 10 percent monthly. The cost to participate in a Web ring is absolutely nothing.
Web rings provide a great navigation tool when looking for more information on a specific topic.
Web rings are easy to use. They provide one of the most efficient ways to find specific content on the Internet. Web rings avoid the duplication found in search engines, where a site may appear several times in one search. Each site is linked only once in each Web ring. Web rings avoid sifting through mounds of search engine results for appropriate sites.
