I remember reading in the rules of at least one web ring, that the web ring html
code must be on the URL you specified to be part of the ring (so that surfers
can continue on the ring without searching for it). Now, if you obey the rules,
that would mean that unless you have the web ring on your front page, someone is
going to visit your site from your web rings page--which may be acceptable to
you, or may not. We are considering doing just this--having a separate front
page that had a webring on it, but not our main front page.
I personally have never followed web rings. I'm curious: does anyone have any
statistics on how much webrings are followed by surfers? And what kind of
"quality" or demographics are the surfers that do?
Also, just for one person's opinion, the first things I think of a webpage when
I see a webring on it is "unprofessional" and "desparate for traffic". I would
be extremely wary of doing any kind of business with a web page that had a web
ring on it. To me, web rings mean personal homepages, usually with no content
(or no content I'm interested in). Now maybe that is just due to my experience
looking through a lot of personal homepages on free webpage services, but...
Does anyone know if web rings generally have the same image with most surfers as
I have of them?
