    It has no real bearing on rankings but it is always good to write proper semantic code. Since load times are taken into account it further helps to have good code. I hear G is working on something related to markup though so this may change at some point.

    If your code is clean and validated, it will help the visitors to load your site faster. And also your site will display correctly for any browser platforms that your surfer use. Here is a simple guide how to fix w3c error for wordpress.

    It doesn't help your SEO in any way. W3C validation is to make sure your page will display correctly to your visitors, it doesn't improve rankings in search engines ;)

    A couple of years ago, I validated my sites. Then I bought some submenu software that didn't validate (initially at any rate) and found that it had no effect on my sites' rankings. Since then, I'm afraid I haven't bothered - although I do check sites on a wide variety of browsers.

    W3C validation means that your code is optimised. It is very helpful for ranking for the keywords that you want.

    Finally I don't know what to believe or learn some of you says that it will help and others It doesn't help your SEO in any way, but without any good support as well.

    It's better to validate your code. Not for SEO but for your visitors, mistakes in your validation mostly means some of your visitors will see a bad displayed website. ;)

    W3C validation and SEO have hardly anything to do with eachother.

    w3c validator helps in identifying & locate errors on the website. Once your onpage is complete( i.e error free) website has passed the guideline in order to properly execute, then only off-page work would benefit you

    Google don't seem to mark it down yet, but it doesn't mean they won't do.

    W3c validation is most important. It shows the minor mistake of coding which will affect website page opening. Means it can affect site traffic.

    It doesn't seem to be a major plus for SEO-but who knows what Google might do in a tie. You can probably get more bang for your buck by concentrating your efforts elsewhere especially if your site has a lot of pages.
    Its nice to have that validation logo on your site to help show humans you are not a fly by night site though.

    Depends on the errors, some coding can be so bad that search engines can not crawl them properly and that will be a problem, also when new version of browsers come out your website might look funny in them. Also cleaner code equals to your page loading faster and it does not have to go throught it and then assume what would the error mean and then try and fix it when loading.

    Chances are a few error won't matter, but if you have 500 errors you might want to address the problem.
