Is there a way to know if someone has bookmarked your website? [closed]

Question

I want to make stats for my website. One thing I want to do is to know how many people bookmark my website. What's the best way to do that without a survey?

Answer 1

There is no way to tell.

A proportion of people who arrive at the page without sending referer information will have bookmarked it — but they might also have come from a link in an email, typed the URL, dragged it from their history, turned referers off, etc, etc,etc.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to have a Javascript "Bookmark us" link that bookmarks the site and makes an AJAX call to a backend script to store info about a new bookmark in your db. This won't catch people who bookmark your site directly using their browser, but it will give you some idea about the stickiness of your site.
