As far as I understand it, the validity of a site has nothing to do with its ranking with search engines. In order to improve that, you should look into some of the many techniques for search engine optimization (SEO).

I see things saying tags are not closed, when > they really are - so how am I to know what to do?? I see you are using the <embed> element, which is not valid for HTML 4.01 Transitional. You could look at other options [2].

But again, I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
