An Effective Alternative to Search Engines and Directories

[mandy]

Web rings are a fast-growing service on the Internet, providing one of the easiest ways for visitors to navigate the Internet. In each of its tens of thousands of topic-specific rings, member Web sites have linked their sites together, thus permitting more targeted visitors to reach the joined sites quickly and easily.

People increasingly are becoming dissatisfied with search engines and directories as tools to identify specific topic-related sites. Searches on a specific keyword sometimes yield results that include totally unrelated ites. For instance, if you were planning a vacation to Mexico and you wanted to search for resorts in Mexico, the search engine results would likely include sites only vaguely related to what you were looking for. The results might include book titles at Amazon.com related to Mexican travel, personal pages with other people’s experiences traveling in Mexico complete with pictures from their family vacation, travel agencies, and tour company sites. The Web ring provides an alternative to these tools.

Site owners typically trade links with other Web sites to help promote each other’s sites. The Web ring was developed to enlarge the scope of link trading. A Web ring joins together many sites with a common topic.
