I have a favicon in my ASP.NET project that's not showing up. I have a masterpage located at ~/MasterPages/MasterPage.master that holds the favicon. My markup is as follows:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
The favicon is located in the project root. The dimensions are 16x16 and it's 32-bit depth. I've cleared my browser's cache, rebooted and nothing is working. Any suggestions as to what I should do?

To add a favicon to your website, either save your favicon image to the root directory of your webserver, or create a folder in the root directory called images, and save your favicon image in this folder. A common name for a favicon image is "favicon.ico".
For the most part it seems like most SEOs said it takes around 24 hours, sometimes less. The guidelines specifically say "Google will look for and update your favicon whenever it crawls your home page.
The favicon URL must be stable (don't change the URL frequently). Google won't show any favicon that it deems inappropriate, including pornography or hate symbols (for example, swastikas). If this type of imagery is discovered within a favicon, Google replaces it with a default icon.
Try to leave the type away, clear the browser cache and go to the favicon address manually and add some parameters to it. That should fix it. Maybe you could tell me your website address, then I will look, if it shows up here.
