How important is w3 validation to SERP ranking?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Ash Stronge, Mar 31, 2015.

    Do search engines (primarily Google) put much emphasis on errors within the w3 code validation when ranking websites? I have heard conflicting reports on its importance.

    Never heard that it is.

    However, it is important to have the discipline of being w3c code compliant. Keeps you on your toes, being disciplined and the danger of becoming sloppy in other facets of work.

    Good luck,

    Yes ofcourse w3c validation hasnt much effect on SEO, but correct codes and tags on your website means a neat and clean website that is a plus point rather than a website having lots of wrong or mispelled or unecessary tags.

    I think it's not effect SEO because this is for codding part for website development. W3 error and warning show when any problem in the codes and running the website.

    Hi,
    W3C validation itself mean World Wide Web code validation, it check only the error part and warning in the code ..It don't have any effect with SEO.

    W3 consent is a lot very important to your site, understand what apply it, progress blunders may possibly influence your site SERP rankings like if the web site design is just not responsive, it will eventually affect that you great deal.
