Any thoughts on what would be a good unique/bookmark ratio ?

I would be interested in your ideas of a good ratio.

How would you track it? now that netscape/Moz/etal request favicon on every visit, you can no longer use favicon as a metric.

I wasn't aware of that Brett I thought it was just IE that requested it and only when someoone bookmarked it.

There goes my calculations :(

Is there another way ?

Ya, it really throws a ringer into that whole concept. It's been building for awhile. Even before that, it was difficult to gage a bookmark ratio unless you had something to compare it too.

What about :

Instead of a "click here to bookmark us ! " button, a "click here IF you have bookmarked us ! "

:)

I've had sites that had 100% of all it's traffic come from the SEs, they were garbage sites which were just created to funnel traffic to other places. I guess the opposite extreme would be wmw where a good number of the visitors repeats,

>tracking
total visitors - (visitors with external referrer + bot + Opera, and other browsers that play referrer games) = bookmarks
...sort of...
