A web ring for Canadian sites which are primarily about books. These could be publishers, authors, booksellers, or literature sites. This ring was started by members of the BooksCanada Mailing List, but is not limited to that membership.
Web rings are a form of web community. Surfers can move from site to site within the ring by means of a link at the bottom of the page, until finally they are returned to whichever page they started from. This allows the surfer to stay within the topic which interests them, at the same time that it increases the traffic to each site within the ring.
It's completely free. You can apply to join the ring, and once you've added the html fragment to your website and your site has been approved, your ring membership will be activated.
Your site will be approved so long as it meets these criteria:
- Primarily about books
- Canadian
- Substantial content (must contain more than a simple business name and contact info)
- You MUST place the ring fragment on the exact page you have submitted. (I will not approve any site where I have to hunt for the fragment!)
If you are already a member of the Canadian Book Ring, you can edit current information about your site.
You can view a list of current members, or start a tour of the sites in the ring.
