It's easy to track the stats for the "bookmark this page" link. That's way you can see howmany people press the link but don't know about the actuall bookmark itself though.Comment

server stats help - look at the number of fav.ico downloadsIf at first you do succeed - try to hide your astonishment.

it will not show you if they return via clicking the bookmark, you can do that part with cookiesIf at first you do succeed - try to hide your astonishment.

hmm ok cool... now we're getting somewhere...Originally posted by vicki

it will not show you if they return via clicking the bookmark, you can do that part with cookies
so the number of calls to fav.ico will tell me how many people bookmarked me that day....
and if i set a cookie when that bookmark link is clicked, ill know when a bookmarker comes back... ?
does using the 'favorites > add bookmark' function on the toolbar also call the fav.ico file, or just the js link that we all use?the revolution is coming.Comment

As said, it is possible to track a "bookmark this" link (as it is possible to track all links on your page), but the js for bookmarking used by most links aren't even crossbrowser compatible. Besides, this method will only count the bookmarks bookmarked through your bookmark link, it won't count the bookmarks bookmarked through any other bookmarking methods (ctrl+d, through the favorites menu).
Detecting if someone already has bookmarked a page seems impossible to me, as bookmarks are stored on your system. JS normally isn't able to read your localfiles, so isn't able to see what you've got bookmarked or not.God may have created the world in 6 days, but you can bet your ass that while he rested on the 7th, a programmer coded it all.<br>ICQ:48322442Comment
