                      they arent that great.

                      like anything, useful or useless - depending on how you look at it.

                        I think they look kinda nifty... much better in FireFox than just a blank page icon before the url.

                          One day I was trying to figure out why my 404 page was pulling a larger than usual load on my server (my 404 page has a lot of crap in it) and figured out that when someone was trying to get my favicon.ico the server was trying to return a full 404 page, so if anything, uploading a favicon.ico took care of that problem.

                              Aren't favicons purged if someone uses a cache cleaner? My threads from GFY I send to my desktop lose the middle finger icon and are replaced with a standard IE icon after I reboot and my cleaners run.

                              favicons are for the guys who have the spyware installed that are going to let your affiliate sales be stolen
                              .

                                  you missed the most important reason for using a favicon
                                  it tells you how much of your traffic is book mark traffic.

                                      Another tip, it's easier to make the favicon in like 32x32 mode, then resizing it down to the standard favicon size.

                                        Having a favicon is not a good way to try to see if you have bookmarkers for the last several years.. Modern browsers try to pull it up on entry whether bookmarked or not.

                                        I think prior to IE 5.0 it was helpful, but not since then.

                                        I use them because I got sick of seeing all the failed attempts to retrieve them in my logs, lol.
