It is a sale without a referring url, but it doesn't mean it's a real bookmark.

NATS can and does, drop referring urls for many reasons. It naturally happens (net scrub factor) then tracking scripts that redirect on the redirect will drop them, and other crap can make it happen too, like strack codes on tours that tracks the clicks.

Thing is, he said 75% of the sales came from bookmarks. It's impossible for 75% of your sales to come from real bookmarks.
