Bing Wants to Know if You Bookmarked Them

It looks like the product manager in-charge of bing.com likes knowing how many users bookmark Bing. Super-smart. As a consultant I’ve suggested some variation of this to nearly all of my clients…

One thing about tracking if someone has bookmarked your website is that you need a seperate URL. One could measure referring URLs that are blank/null but that is not 100% because not all browsers forward the referring url (and users may type the URL directly in their browser chrome).

Good job, Bing!
