A process for adaptive bookmarking of often-visited web pages of a web site, comprising the steps of:

• (a) determining whether a webpage has been detected;
• (b) if the webpage in step (a) has been detected, determining whether the webpage has been previously visited by a particular user;
• (c) performing one of (i) creating an initial record of the webpage visit by the particular user if it has been determined in step (b) that the webpage has not been previously visited by the particular user, and (ii) determining whether the webpage has been previously bookmarked if it has been determined in step (b) that the webpage has been previously visited by the particular user;
• (d) updating a visitation count if it has been determined in step (b) that the webpage has been previously visited by the particular user;
• (e) determining whether the visitation count has reached a predetermined threshold;
• and
• (f) recommending to the user that the webpage be bookmarked if it determined in step (e) that the predetermined threshold of the visitation count has been reached.

A process for adaptive bookmarking of often-visited web pages of a web site, comprising the steps of:

• (a) determining whether a web page of a web site presently accessed has been previously bookmarked;
• (b) determining whether a record count exists if the web page presently accessed has not been bookmarked;
• (c) performing one of:
• (i) updating the record count to reflect the present access of the web page if it is determined in step (b) that the record count exists;
• and
• (ii) creating an initial record count if it is determined in step (b) that no record count exists for the present webpage being accessed by the particular user;
• (d) determining whether the record count has reached a predetermined threshold of visitation that is greater than one visit;
• (e) bookmarking the webpage if it is determined in step (d) that the threshold of record counts has been reached.

A system for bookmarking often-visited web sites, said system comprising:

• a computer having storage;
• a browser program in communication with the computer;
• a communication means for the computer to communicate with a network;
• said browser including a program module that:
• (i) determines whether a web site accessed by a particular user has been previously bookmarked, and whether a record exists if the web site has not been previously bookmarked;
• (ii) creates a record count identifying the web site accessed being by the particular user;
• and
• (iii) bookmarks the browser to provide a short cut to the web site if a predetermined threshold number of visitation greater than one visit has been reached by the particular user.
