    It's called "meta-subliminal advertising". Through certain subliminal stimuli (the use of meta tags), the webmaster can subtly control the actions of his visitors (in this case, bookmarking his website).

    A popular one used on MFA sites is:

    <meta name="boredom-related-trolling" content= "You will click on my Adsense ads.">

    This may or may not be against Adsense TOS, but it can dramatically increase CTR.

    Be warned, there are sinister black hat meta-subliminal webmasters using these tactics for their own evil agendas.

    Use with caution.

        It might not be something they are aware of--maybe just the web designer.
