I don't think favicons are that great.

they arent that great.

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

pradaboy · 02-13-2005, 12:30 PM

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

MattO · 02-13-2005, 01:02 PM

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.

swedguy · 02-13-2005, 01:10 PM

I've always used them

mardigras · 02-13-2005, 01:15 PM

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

Farang · 02-13-2005, 02:38 PM

I'm using them on every my site

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

Jer · 02-13-2005, 03:55 PM

I use them

AdultNex · 02-13-2005, 04:00 PM

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

Tom_PM · 02-13-2005, 04:06 PM

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.
