Welcome!
This is the homepage for The American History WebRing started in January 2000, to promote
American history (past - history already made, present - history in the making, or future
- historical events yet to happen).
It's a FREE service
and costs you nothing - zero, zip, nada!
It is just people helping people drive more traffic to their website through a
unique ring.
Web rings are a great concept for promoting web sites free of
charge. They are made up of sites having similar content, linked together to create
a "ring". With American History WebRing, the similar content is American
history... good quality collections of Internet sites from countries anywhere around the
world.
Someone searching the Web has only to find one participating site
in the Ring to be a mouse click away from finding another participating site ! A
surfer or researcher can browse easily from one site to another in the ring until he/she
has found the kind of information he/she wants. Participating sites will receive
visits from potential surfers who may never have found them without the ring.
4) The URL you register must not be a
redirect URL.
The ring is setup to automatically rearrange
itself every 7 days to place lower traffic sites in between higher traffic sites.
Over a period of time this will ensure all sites send and receive a relatively equal
amount of traffic.
The Ringmaster periodically performs no-notice
checks on the member sites to verify the HTML Fragment, called "the code", is an
approved code, on the registered URL, and that there are no server errors (i.e. Page Not
Found). Sites not in compliance are immediately removed from the ring and placed
back in the queue until the Ringmaster is emailed that corrections have been published or
they auto-expire. Sites that are found cheating the other ring members of traffic by
placing the code on a page that cannot be returned to, or removing the code so there is no
outbound link, will be deleted immediately, without notice. Sites in the queue will
expire automatically after 7 days if not moved into the
ring. When a site expires, or is deleted, their former site ID is available to a new
registrant. Be sure to notify the Ringmaster as soon as you publish your page
containing the code so it can be moved from the queue and into the ring. The
Ringmaster assumes no responsibility for technical problems that may cause a site to
expire in the queue. The Ringmaster has the final say on sites to include or exclude. This
is mutual benefit situation for member sites - all members have a stake in its' success.
Site content belongs to the respective Webmaster - ring administration belongs to the
Ringmaster.
