Blog fail w3 validation = Not crawled by ALL blog ping services?

    I am wondering why my blog(s) are not being indexed by ALL of the blog ping services. Google is crawling them just fine.

    I checked Technorati for all the possible things; I am upgraded, etc. But I also check other blogping sites and they don't index either.

    I was told W3 validation can be a factor. I get 33 errors, mostly from the <strong> tag (also RSS parsing error cuz of strong tag).

    My question is, is this definitely 100% causing the issue? Or are there a myriad of other factors, and what are they? What causes sites not to get indexed by blog ping sites.

    Thanks in advance.

    That's definitely not the issue, most sites have errors in the hundreds

    ALL of them. BUT maybe that is the problem. I just realized the list of 56 ping services (by elliot back) might be causing me some problems in and of itself.

    Here it is:

    I just looked through it carefully and it has pingoat, AND pingomatic, as well as all the ping sites those ping. Is that causing my problem? Does having this many ping sites, potentially over-ping them and result in a ban?
