    W3C validate could help search engine bots read you page easier. However, it does mean nothing in terms of seo anyway. As long as your pages are not a messy of coding created blockade for bots then you would be fine whether your website validated or not.

    P.S. Check out "Google.com" itself for W3C validate. :) I wonder if they would have 100% passed the test.

    If W3C validation meant your site fared better in SERPs, the majority of websites would be penalised in SERPs by Google. If you are displaying a W3C logo with a link back to their check report, you're doing little more than giving W3C a backlink for no real gain to yourself.

    It's not going to give you much an advantage, if any at all.

    That's one part for good points for your site but of course that will not ensure you to good rankings. It's the quality of your contents and backlinks that Google look for and give heaviest weight to rank..

    In my experience valid html has very little to do with Google rank, I would beat yourself up in making every little thing valid. The only exception would be in the case where your html is completely broken and un-parseable and your site likely would not be indexed at all.

    It can help you a little. Validating by W3 is a very small factor for ranking results.

    I have to say in my niche. Valid markup sites do have a slight edge over non-markup valid sites. The top 2-3 positions are always valid markup sites.

    I have changed the template of my site to valid CSS, I had an average of 60 errors a page prior. My rank has jumped up 3-7 places across the board. It might just have been a fresh content boost, even though the content hasn't changed, but I have seen a big boost.

    There's only a weak relationship between W3C compliance and Google SERPS. If the crawler can parse it, you're good.

    There are, of course, other good reasons to make complaint pages, but the number of crappily-coded sites in #1 spots makes it clear that it's not a big help for SERPS.
