Webrings - A good thing?

[zscoundrel]

This is good info, I have found some really good sites just browsing 
through the web logs.  (I have found some really weird ones too!!!)

Don't worry, the 'bots will find you.  It only took a couple of weeks 
before I was regularly getting hit by the bots.

If you want to speed the process up a bit, Set your web site as your 
home page and spend an afternoon using several different search services 
to look for information that can be found on your web page.  Each time 
you do this, start from your web page.  The bots parse through their own 
logs for valid web addresses too.

Use these links to send your link to some of those web masters and ask 
them if you can list them on your web page.  As the web crawlers find 
your link on known pages, it will start searching you out and will 
include you in it's database.
