How many bookmarks are real on TGP/MGP sites
 

There is a huge difference between a bookmarker and a no-referring hit yet most scripts counts them as the same thing.

How does one figure out how many bookmarkers are real!

Bookmark icon hits is one factor... putting the bookmark link going on another page iwth diff hits trackign is another way

I don't think there is a 100 % accurate way to track thoses

Buddy of mine suggested searching the full domain name here to find out how many a site has

bookmark icons disapear after a while thou

when I go to thehun.com never do i drop down a link from my favorites, i simply type thehun.com.

and is double a thing you always do lol

you can never now, unless you killed all your trades

Thats what I figured.. :(

bookmark icons (favicon.ico) doesn't work either.. firefox et al request those every time they hit a site, whether the user bookmarked or not, and whether they've been there before or not. every, single, time. kinda sucks. used to be a fairly good indicator, now its blown. =(

when you create a completely new site you will have about 18% noref traffic.
Since a new site won't have any bookmarkers you can assume that 18% of your traffic will always be noref even though it is comming from trades.
So just calculate the % of noref of your total traffic. Anyting above 18% are probably real bookmarkers

check your stats

uhm all isnt it?

I am guessing that bookmark traffic is actual surfers, whereas noref is more likely to be a hitbot, spider, etc. This is what I think, so don't take it as fact, as I am only guessing here.
