Building A Base Of Bookmarked Traffic

One thing that we all need in the adult industry is traffic, whether it be from surfers or webmasters without traffic one thing is for certain, we wont make any sales however, what if we can use our existing traffic levels to generate one type of traffic that can be guaranteed time after time? Read on...

Bookmarker Traffic

The one primary concern people have with bookmarker traffic is that, by keeping the same surfers coming back time and time again to your site, they become 'immune' to your advertising and, whilst this is a legitimate concern, it is also fairly easy to fix by ensuring that you update your site on a regular basis.. Including your ads.

Calculating Your Existing Bookmarkers

In order to see how many bookmarkers you currently have on your sites you will need to look through your access logs for the number of times the 'favicon.ico' image has been accessed. In Internet Explorer 5+, when someone bookmarks your site, the browser automatically checks for this file and places it in the surfers address bar the next time they visit your site.

By seeing how many times the favicon.ico file has been accessed, even if you dont have one on your server, you will be giving a rough estimate of how much bookmark traffic you have during any given time frame.

How To Get More Bookmarkers - In Practice

Now we understand that bookmarked traffic can be a good thing, as long as our sites are regularly updated lets take a look at how we can start to build up a bigger base of bookmark traffic on our existing sites starting with the most simple method of all...

1) Tell your surfers to 'Bookmark This Site'

You may not realize this but, by actually giving your surfers a link to click that will add your sites to their favorites folder, you have a 100% higher chance of them bookmarking your site than if you didnt offer them this link.

2) Offer fresh content on a regular basis.

By offering your surfers a regular supply of fresh content, you are giving them a reason to return to your site on a regular basis especially if you..

3) Tell them when the next update will be.

By telling your surfers when you are going to update next, you are going to have them subconciously remember to visit your site in time for the next update so, in turn, even if they havent added your site to their favorites right now, as long as the content on the next update is fresh, chances are, they will add you to their favorites folder.

4) All of the above.

Taking each of the 3 items above and just using one of them will certainly increase your level of bookmark traffic however, by using all three of the items above at the same time, you are going to see a much bigger rise in bookmarked traffic.

Bookmarked Traffic - In Closing

Now that we know how to increase our levels of bookmarked traffic, we need to put this in to practice and start profiting from our repeat surfers by offering them a selection of fresh content and, more importantly, fresh advertising, only by keeping our hub sites completely fresh will we be able to increase our bookmark traffic and our profits.
