One way to increase traffic to your website is to get first-time visitors to come back to your website again i.e. to become a returning visitor.

However, if a visitor can’t remember your website URL (especially long URLs and URLs with lots of dashes), they can’t return to your website, even if they wanted to!

The solution?

Add a ‘Bookmark this site’ link on your webpage!

There are two ways to add a ‘Bookmark this website’ link on your website and the good news is both are FREE methods!

Method #1 – Using A ‘Bookmark This Site’ Javascript Code (The More Complex Method)

There are many websites where you can get a ‘Bookmark This Site’ javascript code, but be sure to find one that is cross-browser compatible i.e. works properly in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.

Most authors who create these codes will require you to leave a copyright notice in the code intact.
 
I highly recommend you abide by their copyright requirements.

Here’s a resource where you can obtain a ‘Bookmark this site’ javascript for your website:
