How to display the favicon of my site in bing search result?
The favicon is shown on my browser when I open my site, but is not shown in the bing search result. What is the required format of html code?
Hi asd3r
This could possibly happen due to Your .htaccess blocking of hotlinking done by bing.
To exclude bing, possibly add both IP ranges used by bing, and also the bing URL.
A revised .htaccess may look like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# enable the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine on
# Example
