    Hello Guy’s

    Is anybody notice 1 SEO factor that when Complete Site is w3c validated then it receive
    Great boost in Search engines (Specially Yahoo), if site is completely optimized.
    I have experiencing this since last 1 year.

    Is anybody agreed with me?

    I couldn't disagree more. Having clean code helps, but W3C validation is absolutely useless. The real power in SEO comes from inbound links (although on-page SEO does help).

    No boost whatsoever from the W3C validation here.

    no one knows exactly and no proof at all. But a clean html code will help robots to crawl the site more efficiently.

    I try to make sure that all my pages (and CSS) validate correctly, but this is mostly to give them a better chance at rendering correctly on various browsers. I haven't noticed any SEO benefits.

    Well W3C is an impression maker for the visitors,but as in SEO is concerned, its just a bunch of HTML Code... and not even content.. So like everyone out there knows, content and links do the magic, W3C is merely a credit give to a site for clean code, which means clear presentation to a visitor..nothing to do directly anywhere with SEO..

    W3C validation does not help SEO. Why would it?

    I don't think validation of w3c makes your site boost to SE's.. but it really helps a lot to make your site clean and crawlable...
