what is Shortcut Icon?

Shortcut Icon provides 6 value-added ways to brand your Web site in the world's most popular Web browser.

A Shortcut Icon is a customised logo that appears next to your bookmarked Web site in Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.0 and above, as well as the Linux Konqueror Web browser.



When people look at their bookmark list they will be drawn to your Web site because your unique logo will appear next to the bookmark name, unlike other sites that will have the standard icon next to their name.

Repeated exposure to your Shortcut Icon will reinforce your brand and keep your Web site fresh in the memory of your visitors.

Have your Web site stand out in the crowd. Use Shortcut Icon to better your chances of achieving commercial success on the Web.

Increase your Site's Prominence

When we find a site we like, we bookmark it, or add it to our list of favourite sites in our Web browser. The only problem is, we sometimes forget how great that site is when we check our list at a later time.

That's where Shortcut Icon shows its true branding power.

Add a Shortcut Icon to your site and whenever someone bookmarks it, your logo will appear prominently in the bookmark list.

But that's not all! Shortcut Icon actually appears in another 5 different places.

Even if your site is not bookmarked, your Web site visitors will see your Shortcut Icon.
