1. What is a Web Ring
WebRing is the largest, and fastest-growing service of its kind on
the Internet, providing one of the easiest ways for visitors to navigate
the Web.
In each of its tens of thousands of Rings, Member web sites have
banded together to form their sites into linked circles. Their purpose:
to allow more visitors to reach them quickly and easily.
An extraordinary system servicing three primary World Wide Web
groups: Visitors, Member sites and advertiser-merchants, WebRing
remains entirely open and free of charge to both Visitors and
Members.
The WebRing system can support a nearly unlimited number of
separate and distinct Rings across the Internet. This unique structure
allows the creation and evolution of tens of thousands of different "web
communities."
Through navigation links found most often at the bottom of Member
pages, Visitors can travel all or any of the sites in a Ring. They can
move through a Ring in either direction, go to the next or previous site,
or list the sites in the Ring. They can jump to a random site
in the Ring, or survey all the sites that make up the Ring.

3. How will I benefit, if I joining this ring?
The main challenge for any webmaster is to get hits to his site. Let me give you
an example of this site itself.
I sent mails to more than 2000 people
Out of 2000 only 200 visited my site
Out of 200 only 10 joined this webring
Only 10% of them visited this site
Once I got this 10 sites, the bought more hits to my page, now their is no need for me to
invite people to this site, they will automatically come to my site by this webring.
A webring gets more hits to your site, with no efforts of yours.
