Can anybody tell me the method of counting bookmarks that i could trust?

Create Bookmarks with a script ID. If you use a trading script, you can track traffic sent from specific IDs. Create an account for the bookmark traffic and put that URL behind the bookmarks. That shoul dtell you exactly how many guys entered your site with this URL.

And i need that for a no script site

Wow Killah haha never thought of that before http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Drink more and you'll have ideas like that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

lol Killah youre not the one who drink =p

Killah,

That method doesn't work. I have been using that on my TGP, but get only around 10 bookmark counts everyday using that. The real bookmarkers are much more than that. Which means most people directly bookmark the site, not by clicking the 'Click to Bookmark' link.

traffic with "no referer" would be your bookmark traffic if you don'T feed the site with popups

I'm sure there is some crazy Java Code that could set the standart-bookmark option to save a different URL (with ID). Maybe Zyber has an idea, he's a Java God.

how can you count no referrer on a no script site?

[xApster]

Use a counter.

[SpyCam]

Counters show shit

so there's no acurate method to count bookmarks on no script sites?

if you have access to server stats, you could look for the numbers of favor.ico or what ever its called to see how many bookmark...

as to how many that gets back to you from the bookmarks, i dont know...

That is a pretty good way I think.
But does it show the amount of bookmarkers I have OR the amount of bookmark traffic I get?

[xApster]

But thats only IE bookmarkers no ?

[Hypo]

Favicons doesnt work for me either. I tried it, and most of the time I didnt see a favicon in my browser, and the bookmarks were much higher than the favicon hits.

like i write due, it only shows how many bookmarks... or it should in a perfect world where microfuckup didnt controle everything about browers..

as to how many visit you after they bookmarked... i wouldnt have any ideers...

favicon.ico works for me.
if you can access server logs (and use favicon.ico) try this:

cat access_log | grep favicon.ico -c

I'm now working on another solution that will track where from did someone come to my site before he bookmarked it, where is he from, .... http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hell, so can't we find out some script, or i don't know what, something that could show exact number of "bookmarks" and "Surfers who came from bookmarks" ?
