www.pornkingusa.com

Add to favorites (estimated) 30 / 49 Visitors 61.2 %

Is that any good? Ive had bad feedback for it but it seems to get good bookmarks - thats from cpanel and they vary from site to site - 61.2% is the best I have seen ever.

What do you guys think? Good or Shit?

its more like 0% your stats software is just counting requests for favicon.ico

Skinnay - whats that mean? Ive seen that a lot "favicon.ico" in stats pages.

traditionally browsers would only request favicon.ico when you bookmarked a page. ever see a little logo in your bookmarks in internet explorer, thats it. but now many browsers request it anyway to display next to the url. i dont think theres any way to accurately count bookmarkers these days except with cookies or something..

And even then quite a decent percentage of the users will be blocking cookies... but still would be more accurate than tracking favicon.ico, agreed.

MrChips, the site looks much better than it did a couple of weeks ago. There are still a few things I would personally choose to change, but I have a feeling you won't agree with me. Nevertheless, I feel it's a step in the right direction.

Thanks for that - Ive often wondered what that is.

Just having a think about this bit skinnay - the thing is that the same stats program running on addon domains on that host reports like 4% and 1.2% or 30% on other domains. If it were the browser requesting the favicon constantly - would the estimated bookmarks % not be roughly the same for each domain - given the traffic sources are the same?
