Meta tags are not all that important anymore. The important thing is to have the keywords of your website included in the content of your website, a good density level. For a general rule of thumb, per 500 words of content, you should have your key word present 7-10 times. If you do this, the search engines spiders will surely visit your website.

Most browsers will look for favicon.ico in the root of your site if one isn’t specified in the head section of your HTML. That is why it is showing up, even though you haven’t changed your HTML. Thanks

I understand that there are a lot of spam lately. Apparently its pretty difficult for guys to grasp the concept that relationships can be mutually advantageous. I can leave a meaningful wonderful comment and add content and substance to 1 of your pages and you will give me a link in exchange. There are too numerous takers out there and they arent willing to assist people out. Take take take! .

I agree the favicon is important for any serious website - in fact your web page will look odd with out one! It has to look good and as you say reflect the website I create mine on 16 x 16 and was unaware some browsers read 32 x 32 for favorites.

I am planning to design a website that will provide information about promoting your website, tips about optimizing for search engine as well as tools and results to submit and check the saturation of your website in major search engines.Will it help small business owners and webmaster to learn and do it yourself for a small budget?

Microsoft Internet Explorer only supports the ICO file format; simply changing the filename extension of an image to .ico without converting it to an ICO file will result in an error and not displaying the favicon. Netscape 7, Internet Explorer 5, and version 6 browsers will only display the favicon when the page is bookmarked and not simply when the page is visited as in modern browsers.

Nice advice. Yes, better to cut him out of your life. You cannot trust the guy… I think you never really trusted him after all… that’s how you found out.

What is the best software to Create website, Like I’m now using SeaMonkey is it good, for creating and publishing and if once I’ve created a website with SeaMonkey how can I edit it the times I want.Please suggest me both free and paid.
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 - 11:06:07
trust me you don’t need to use the link tag like the person above me said. just upload the favicon to your main directory and the browser will do the rest.
Friday, February 3, 2012 - 15:55:51
Yes I think it does. My first ever website was on Geocities and I seem to recall using the favicon.
