How to Add ‘Bookmark This Site’ Code to Your Site

icon1 Posted by Rochelle in How To..., Site Building Strategies on 02 10th, 2008 | 6 responses

You can encourage people to return to your site by telling them how to bookmark your site. Here is an easy code that will show instructions on how to bookmark your site for visitors using Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers.

 

My instructions to add ‘Bookmark this site’ code to your site:

Step One
 Log in to your site’s Admin.
Step Two
 Decide where you want your bookmark link to be seen on your site. You will go to either ‘Ads‘ or ‘Template‘ for your location.
Step Three
 Copy and paste the contents of bookmark.htm code to your desired location.
  
 Change the following bits of code before you save your changes:
 
  • Change “www.ENTERYOURURLHERE.com” to your site’s URL
  • Change “TYPE OF STORE HERE i.e. Car Store” to your site’s type of store
done

You can place this code just about anywhere you wish but perhaps the easiest place is to add it someplace within the ‘Ads‘ tab.

If you put your code in Ads, as I do, be aware that the code will not show on your Home page. In order to have it show on the Home page you need to go to your Home page and add the code to the Content section. Make sure you add it by clicking on the < > button and pasting it in the window that opens.

    Ripon,

    Sorry, but I don’t know of any code that will work browsers other than IE and FF. You might try Googling for “Bookmark this site” code for the browser you are interested in adding. Good luck with this.
