You'd probably be better off asking about this in an SEO forum - they spend a lot of time trying to figure out what criteria search engines use to judge sites. > My question is why should I bother to use your validator at all? The reasons I use it: (1) It reduces the likelihood of a browser breaking part of the page (2) It cuts maintenance costs (e.g. one benefit is that it makes picking up typos in element and attribute names trivial) (3) Other developers don't need to figure out what bit of error recovery is being triggered in browsers by a particular bit of invalid code before they can edit it so it does what they want. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk/>
