Auto-Bookmarking Script
 

Hey guys, I got a spam main that I got in my box today about a script that'll secretly bookmark your site on your visitor's computers when they visit your site, they won't even know it. I actually never heard of this before until know, even though I'm sure that this practice has been out there.

The company says that they'll give you a customized script for FREE, the only catch is that they'll also have their search site also be bookmarked with yours.

What do you guys think of this. Since this is my first time hearing about a script like that, I'd like to know if any of you use it.

My first thoughts on it is that it's wrong because if someone doesn't bookmark my page, then they shouldn't have it bookmarked. I think of a dad going to my site, then logging off, then later on the kids or the wife jump on the computer and they go through the bookmarks and see my site sitting there and click on it, which wouldn't be right.

When you think of the benefits, I could gain 25,000 bookmarks PER DAY on one site alone, I don't know how many of those people would click on that bookmark to come back, but I'm sure that there'd be a lot that would.

I just wanna know what your thoughts are on this. I know that for a non-adult site, this would be a great tool to have, but having adult sites getting auto-bookmarked, that could be crossing the line.

Oh, it's a good idea is it? You tell me if you wouldn't be pissed if some pop up reset your home page? Or bookmarked some shitty site without your permission..

I know I'm pissed, as it happens to me every once in a while.. Some site I visit pops a SE in a console, and that site changes my home page for me. You know I'm never using that shit, and you can be sure that most surfers are going to be pissed.

Cheers,
Backov

Doing anything without the surfers knowledge or consent is just bad business...If they want a bookmark, they will bookmark. Forcing it on them only gives the adult biz an even worse rep then it already has. in short, dont do it.

i have ranted about this particular 'trick' before.
I hate being fucked around like that http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/mad.gif

The script works only for IE thru a security hole. Opera and NS aren't affected. It won't last long though--there's already a patch out for IE.

Btw, the script can be blocked in IE without the patch by proper security settings.

What Kat said!

dont get me started!

oh and Hi Gem Baby!!! She's a sweet heart!

Ha ha ha, ok, I guess that auto-bookmarking isn't a good thing then. That's pretty much what I figured, but I wanted to see what the rest of you thought about it and I guess that you all think the same thing, he he he.

I have been EATEN!
