Most peoples bookmarks / favorites list is a very cluttered place. All it means is that the default icon was shown instead of a custom one, your visitors saw no errors :-) Why should you use a favicon? While seeing a 404 in your log files usually means that a visitor got the dreaded "404 Page Not Found" error, in this case it doesn't. why were people looking for it? The answer is simple, all it means is that people with browsers that use favicon (Internet Explorer 5.0 +, Firefox, Opera and a most others) are visiting your site. I was confused when this first started showing up, if I'd never had a file called that. Why does Favicon.ico Show Up as a 404 in the log files? It's the little icon beside your site's name in the favorites list, before the URL in the address bar and bookmarks folder and as a bookmarked website on the desktop in some operating systems.
