Why Join A Web Ring?There are several reasons why you might want to join a web ring:
- to get more people to visit your site;
- to get visitors at your site who were unaware of your site;
- to help expose the casual "web surfer" to a wider variety of subject matter;
- as the ring expands, you get to visit many more new sites;
- being associated with other sites dealing with the same subject.
A Webring is a way to group sites with a similar interest together in a "ring". Links on each page in the ring allow you to move from one site to the next, eventually traversing the entire ring and end up where you started.
How do the links on a typical Webring site work?
In essence, the links on each site
in the ring provide a means for the webring database to know what site the user is coming
from, and where they want to go.(ie, next site, prev site, etc....). By having the proper
information on each site (ring id, site id#) the database then checks to see which site is
next in line, and most importantly, what ring. When the user clicks on one of these links,
webring will search the database for the proper information and then send the user to the
url of the next site in the ring.
The same goes for the list option. The webring will call up a list of all the sites currently in the ring from the database, according to the ring id that was in the link.
The random function works in much the same way. But when it gets the id#, it makes sure that the random number that is chosen will not be the current site.
What is a Site ID?
A Site ID is simply a number that
uniquely identifies a particular site in a Webring. Sites are assigned a Site ID when the
site information is submitted to the Queue. Site ID's never change. They also have
absolutely nothing to do with the "order" that sites are arranged in ring. Their
sole purpose is to uniquely identify sites in the webring database.
What is the difference between the Ring and the Queue?
The Webring maintains two lists of
sites for each Webring. The first contains all sites that are actually part of the ring of
sites. The other list, called the Queue, is a sort of waiting area for sites that want to
join the ring but haven't been approved yet, or have been temporarily moved out of the
ring for some reason or other (missing URL, etc.).
When a site wants to join the ring, the site owner will typically fill out a form on the ring homepage with the site title, URL, a description, their e-mail address, and other random information. When this info is submitted, the site is added to the queue and they are assigned a Site ID. It is then up to the ringmaster to verify that the new site is actually appropriate/eligible for ring membership and then insert them in the ring.
