There were also "web rings" which basically amounted to crappy HTML snippets you put on your website, and you'd be in a linksharing ring with other sites of similar topic etc. It was supposed to drive traffic between the sites.

Circa this time there were 10,000 teenage kids with nearly identical Dragonball Z sites, hosted on GeoCities, Homestead, or other free services.
