Something just occurred to me while reading the thread regarding ads on DG. First me thoughts went to how DG could be advertised effectively in various venues. Then I thought about the number of subscribers who have their own websites.

What about having a Dave's Garden Member Webring? Members could have DG banners on their sites and surfers could just click and browse through ring-members' sites. Any people who maintain sites having to do with gardening would have a commonality right off the bat, great fodder for a webring.

For information on what webrings are and how they work, here's a good article: http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/features/jump/0,24331,2212046,00.html

I don't know a lot about the 2 subjects mentioned, Webring and DG Advertising. But, I have a sense this is a good direction to move in. The more 'we' members can get involved, the better. Yes, gardenwife, a great promotional tool, this Webring! I feel confident 'our' staff could pull this off, as others hadn't thought of doing.

Kimberly, I think your suggestion has merit.

Sometimes I run across someone here who has posted a link in a thread to their website, but know that is only the tip of the iceberg. A good example of a delightful site is TomTom's, only listed on her homepage. What an inspiration her site is!

I'd like it if there was a list of paid member websites, with a brief word or two about content. Limiting it to paid members might encourage more paid members, too.

I have people frequently suggest a swap of sites. I will place theirs in my links, and they will do the same. Problem is, they are almost always commercial sites (selling something, Hostas, daylilies, etc.). I have even been offered money per month to do this. I do not want this type of link. Only links to help others with their projects and knowledge. So I am against any Webring that offers products for sale.
