Is your sites homepage XHTML 1.1 Valid ?

[Gaurav]

And for HTML


Now I ask you why the f*ck should my site have valid markup.. if it looks fine no one gives a damn.. But still I try my best to minimize the errors and warnings.. its the browser specific warnings that hurt the most

^I read many times that Google loves valid XHTML pages, though... I still have no idea about how significant is the impact of valid XHTML pages to sites SEO in general.

Validated link
The css should be validated too but there is some trick for several browser and the validator does not accept it's and show as error

For me generally is important but not for seo, validation isn't all that important purely from an SEO point of view. Google is trying to give people the sites that best match their queries, it isn't trying to be the W3C's policeman, so it won't arbitrarily penalise sites for not validating.

That isn't to say that validation isn't important. Depending on what the errors are, sites that don't validate can go horribly wrong in some or all browsers. And there's no point in being #1 in the SERPs if people get to your site and find a garbled mess because their browser chokes on invalid code.

Also Why doesn't google.com validate?
