A Favicon is that little icon that is displayed next to your browser's address bar in the browser's tab or Windows toolbar. Additionally, search engines often display a website's favicon next to its search results.
Most people who are running a smaller site rarely pay attention to the Favicon. At face value, this tiny image doesn't seem important, but in fact, the favicon has more brand power than any other graphic on your website. Because the favicon is displayed on every single page, I would go as far to say that the favicon is even more important...
