Alright, so my favicon isn't showing up for some reason. It's at image/favicon.ico (I've checked it like 5 times).
This is the code I use for it:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" />
And this is the site: http://prime.programming-designs.com/

When you add a favicon to your site, it may not show up since your browser has 'saved' your site as one without a favicon. You need to clear the cache in your browser or use a different browser.
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.
It's probably just cached in your browser, it shows up as a blue cross on mine.
Else, check your image path. image/favicon.ico isn't matching images/favicon.ico, but that is probably just a typo.

Late, however. I run into this problem more than I should. My fix is to add a 'version number' ?v1 or whatever, this will blow away cache.
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico?v1" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico?v1" type="image/x-icon" />
