Webring Abuse

Have you ever been to a site and seen links to every webring on earth? A certain site I bumped into today reminded me how much I hate webring abuse. Why is it not enough to just join two or three webrings that your blog or site relates to? Why do bloggers have to have 10 or 20 of these cut and pasted linklet monstrosities on their pages? I understand the urge to try to drive traffic to your site. I run textads for that. I’m sure there are also other outlets for bringing in traffic like finding yourself on the top of a Google search for a moderately popular topic - which might I add is not hard to do, i’ve done it twice. At any rate, let’s not abuse the webring code, people.

About

I'm Elise. Welcome to my blog. It doesn't get updated as often as I would like it to be, but you can still catch a glimpse of who I am here. Someday I'll find a theme I like for more than a week, and when that day comes we well rejoice as though Balky were in the house.
