I think Matt was saying, validated pages don't get "extra" points. But, they do boost your pages rank via other ranking factors. Basically there is no special boost for W3C valid pages, but they get the natural boost for being "accessible" because they are more "findable". | |

| Aug 8, 2010 at 8:06 | comment | added | Tim Post | HTML validation is a factor. If a search engine can't extract a semantic outline of any document (cart or not), it's not going to be ranked as highly as it would be otherwise. Pages don't have to be perfect, but SE's do need to be able to determine what, if any main idea a page has beyond the title and tags. | |
