What do you consider a good % of bookmarkers?

[Useless]

Anything above 0% is good.

There is no way to estimate bookmarkers without auto-installing a trojan on every visitor's PC - and that still wouldn't be overly accurate since there are at least 2 or 3 surfers out there using Macs.

Ignore what AW Stats tells you. It's bollocks. That's the number of times browsers looked for a site's fav.ico. The lack of a fav.ico in the browser's cache isn't necessarily indicative of whether or not that surfer has been there and certainly doesn't mean that they've bookmarked or not. Plus, not all browsers care about the fav.ico.

Isn't the internet wonderful?

Is that how AW Stats does it? I don't even have a fav.ico. Wouldn't looking at visitors without a referer be somewhat accurate (unless you have a domain with lots of type in traffic)

Or what about setting a cookie? Except for the small number of visitors who disable cookies.. wouldn't that work?

Let's not forget, FireFox often pulls the fav.ico when a page is loaded in a tab too.

I just read the documentation - it only reads the IE fav.ico requests - then it extrapolates the number...
