    Hi,
    Well doctype is included in all the webpages by default. I dont think it is important form the SEO point of view.

    Keep in mind that a HUGE part of optimization is to have good code. That means semantic, validating code, not a bunch of pointlessly nested blockquote tags, empty p tags, or script tags nested inside the html.
