Hello All :)
I would like to know whether W3C validated websites rank higher as compared to non-validated websites.
We have seen several examples where W3C validated websites are ranking exceptionally high. Take for example WIKIPEDIA.ORG.
Did anyone else observed this phenomenon, or I am just getting too obsessed with W3C Validated websites ;)
I feel W3C validation is one of the factors affecting your rank. If you have a W3C validated website only and you did not pay to the other important ranking factors you will end up with a page rank of 0. If WIKIPEDIA was not W3C validated it would still rank as high. I have seen many sites which rank very high but comes nowhere near to w3c validation.
I think that it doesn't depend on what software is used. Content is the main thing for search engines
Yes!I great agreeQuote:

Yes ! Ofcourse W3C Validation is just one of the SEO friendly factors. We were working on one website which was penalized OR sandboxed. Once we implemented W3C Validated design, the site achieved top rankings capturing several high ranking keywords. :)Quote:

But I also have seen so many websites, having top search engines rankings without passing the validation procedure.
I have even seen many websites containing hundreds of errors in their codes yet ranking very high on Google and the other search engines.
Having powerful links and great content are more important.

I think by adhering W3C your site get easily spidered & you get greater control over the content. No doubt, there’s value and SEO leverage for the site which follow w3C guideline.
In SEO w3c validation is just a single factors out of many factors. The main thing is how many quality backinks do your site has and Quality content which bound your visitor to you site..

hi guys it is nice matter sharing.
I reason by observing W3C your site gets easily spidered and you get better control over the web based site or online content we might need.
Web designing and SEO are each vital to rank yourself well in search engines to induce a decent range of guest daily. Before an internet site designed one should consult a search engine optimizer so a correct navigation structure and an easy design can be created to rank well in Google.
Your site can get spidered by adhering to the W3C guidelines. It is also possible to gain effective control over the website content and gain additional value.
W3C validation would naturally be seen as something beneficial for SEO. Validating your website is important because there are code errors that can cause serious styling issues from a web design perspective. These are generally the types of errors that also cause a Google boot not to render.
It is always advisable to adhere the rules and norms to go handy with the W3C in order to get full control over your content and available solutions.
Yes, W3C validation is the best factors effecting your rank.
I think that SEO ranking doesn't depend on which software is used. Content, Meta tags and link building are the main things for search engines.
