Web rings provide Web visitors with a different way to locate sites of interest. They are used to group together sites with similar content by linking them together in a circle, or ring - in this case the Maine Restaurant and Lodging Web Ring.

When you join a Web ring, you place a piece of HTML code on your site which never requires changing. Links in that code point to a special script that will send people to the next (or previous) site in the ring. Because the central ring database is located in one location, sites can be added and removed quickly and easily. Users will always be able to continue around the loop.

The Maine Restaurant and Lodging Web Ring can be accessed from any site within the ring by virtue of the code on members' sites. The button and navigation text at the bottom of this page is what appears on members' site. The Web Ring itself is registered with major search engines and directories.

Joining The Maine Restaurant and Lodging Web Ring has advantages for everyone involved. Including, but not limited to an increase in the number of visitors to your site ... By joining the ring, your site becomes a link in a chain of Maine restaurant and lodging sites on the web. People, who may not normally visit your page, will come across your site as they journey along the ring. By joining, you're doing your part to help unify Maine's restaurant and lodging facilities' web presence. In short, your site becomes part of a larger whole.
