Webring

Also sometimes referred to as a netring, a webring is a group of Internet web sites that participate with other web sites that contain information about a specific topic by adding a webring script to their page. The script adds links and/or images to their page similar to the below example.

As can be seen in the above example, the webring allows the person interested about computers to continue browsing other computer related sites in the webring by clicking one of the links. For example, if a user clicked "Next page" they would be forwarded to the next web page in the ring of pages. Eventually, if the user browsed all pages in the webring, they would end up back to the page they originally started at.

Today, most webrings and the scripts used to make the webring functional are run by sites dedicated to webrings. Click here to search for available webrings.
