WEB RING

A Web ring is a way of interlinking related Web sites so that the people can visit one site after the other, eventually returning to the first Web site. Most Web rings allow people to browse backwards or forwards through the sites in the ring, or see all the sites in the ring and visit whichever one they choose. The rings are typically run from a main site which uses a CGI application to select random sites and keeps the ring up to date, getting rid of dead pages and adding new ones. There are tens of thousands of web rings for things like football, cars, celebrities, computers, TV shows, etc. You can tell if a web page is part of Web ring if on the bottom of the page it has some huge, obtrusive, off-color, button linking to other sites in the ring.
