"traditionally browsers would only request favicon.ico when you bookmarked a page. ever see a little logo in your bookmarks in internet explorer, thats it. but now many browsers request it anyway to display next to the url. i dont think theres any way to accurately count bookmarkers these days except with cookies or something.."
Thanks for that - Ive often wondered what that is.
Just having a think about this bit skinnay - the thing is that the same stats program running on addon domains on that host reports like 4% and 1.2% or 30% on other domains. If it were the browser requesting the favicon constantly - would the estimated bookmarks % not be roughly the same for each domain - given the traffic sources are the same?
