Ever since Google and SEO exploded web developers overly obsessed over page ranks. As time passed people became more and more insane over "WHAT'S YOUR PR?", "WHEN'S THE NEXT PR UPDATE?", and "I ACHIEVED x PR IN x MONTHS".

For web owners, overtime you'll notice a thing, which is not new called the favicon. You may have came across it and lightly discussed about it but have never drilled any further on it. Well I'm about to explain to you what the favicon is used for in modern web design. If you still have no clue what the favicon is, it is the little image show below.
When having having forms on your website one of the most common form fields is usually the user's email.
