Hi--<br /><br />Anybody had any experience with web rings? Are they useful in building traffic and therefore a community?<br /><br />Any hints to using them effectively?<br /><br />Where do you find the best ones?<br /><br />:-Doug.<br />[]Doug@FootprintsintheWind.com[/]<br />www.FootprintsintheWind.com

Actually, Webrings can really work well if you are in a "Niche" group. They help to promote like minded groups....For instance, my site is dedicated to the online game of Asheron's Call....and while I"m not a member of a webring, I could be, and people who visit my site could then easily find other Asheron's Call dedicated sites for information, etc.<br /><br />Plus, there's some nice, visually pleasing webring components that make them really unobtrusive and very easy to just use.<br /><br />Try a search on webrings, see what comes up.<br /><br />

i think that the only way for a webring to work is if you were the webring. i think that the owner of the webring will get more hits than any other site. i have no real experience with this at all. but i thought about joining a banner exchange. and i just said the heck with it and i created my own, and i got so many hits because of that. webrings are good for the cummunity. <br /><br />[:red]--------------</font color=red><br />http://extremeforums.org

Poil--<br /><br />Got any webrings you can recommend, or can say stay away from? For instance, Yahoo has them....<br /><br />:-Doug.<br />[]Doug@FootprintsintheWind.com[/]<br />www.FootprintsintheWind.com

There is a new site www.022.com you and your users can build directories on the fly. Also for education edu.022.com<br /><br />
