Even though I am now officially out of adult, this is a thread I just can't resist...

First of all, people bookmark because they like what's on your page in the first place. If bookmarkers get more stuff, you'd get more bookmarkers by putting that stuff on your site for non-bookmarkers... you know, the people that still need convincing.

Second, people use all sorts of ways to get to sites. Some just click a link on another page to your site every day, or simply type your url in google. Those people are most often the newbies, the ones that can make you the most money.

Third, offering something especially for bookmarkers sounds too much like a gimmick, or maybe something shady. It sounds like you're trying to sell something, which actually makes it harder to get the bookmarkers you want.


If you want to get bookmarkers, get an easy to remember domain name (most bookmarkers are actually typ-ins), offer great content, have an easy to navigate site, and make the surfer feel "safe" on your page (no links to popup hells, no misleading links, etc).
If you want to put something on the site specifically for bookmarkers, make it something that is easily accessible for non-bookmarkers which is only useful on return visits. For instance, offer something that lets them anonymously store their porn links or offer a hq vid series that is updated daily or weekly.
