Lee, In addition to David's remarks, I use the W3C validator for one main reason. The more *syntax-related* errors I can identify and remove (although this can be difficult in "pre-programmed" Web Content Management Systems), the more I can concentrate on *semantically-related* content and meta-content, including the complex (and evolving) technical details of web accessibility. While HTML validation doesn't have the force of law behind it, accessibility does. SEO is really a topic for a different forum (and one, IMHO, where locating dispassionate and rigorous research is non-trivial.) Wayne Smith, Ph.D. Department of Management CSU Northridge
