We Standards are good for SEO (Search Engine Optimzation) too!
You might would like to check two threads running at WebProWorld Forums.
One I started myself: http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=65123
and an another interesting one here:
http://www.webproworld.com/viewtopic.php?t=64982
Side Note: I would also appreciate if any Web Standards Advocates would
give me a hand there. They give me a hard time there.
Best,
John

Check.
Use it to make sure you are a good programmer (if nothing else) rather than a
sloppy one.
Forget the fact that if other developers both within your team and out of it
ever come across your code and it's all over the shop, then you won't look too
good. Forget about the fact that you want your sites to be future proof and
perhaps work with more advanced technologies later. In the end, it's about
being the best you can be. If the Validators picks up a little error that you
overlooked then it's just more professional to go in and correct your
'spelling'.
can you imagime what is fdould look like if i woryte copde thjat was messy?

Subject: [WSG] html validation: exactly what is it good for?
Hi
I have a question that crossed my mind, and i wish to get help from you guys:
HTML Validation- what is it good for?
I try to find the disadvantages of a non validated site against one validated,
and let me try to explain what i mean.
If i build a website, according to his declaration - let say Strict XHTML, and its answering all the roles of Strict Xhtml, but its not valid cause, for example, i haven't used "" to surround values, or i haven't closed single tags using Slash (< />), but other wise i did everything by the scheme.
What can be the damage?
If i open the site and see that it works on my target browsers, why i need the
validation for? what do i benefit from it?
It says it helps me improve my SEO, but i see all the first results at Google, for lets
say "Forex" keyword, and none of them are valid.
I assume the main price is time rendering cost, but what can be else?
Thank You.
