Yes, they do send you traffic I once had a music site that had them, but there are a few tricks to using them...
1) Sign up for MANY POPULAR webrings just one little ring won't do much good, but several big ones will.
2) Don't clutter up your main page with rings. Create a separate page with a little link that says "my webrings".
3) There is a mildly-secret page that will give you stats for each ring, but you will have to dig for it.
