Writing good code |

Yes it does, valid HTML is there for a reason, valid code renders faster and is better in a variety of browsers than invalid code, browsers are becoming more standards compliant, and therefore it is important to write valid standards compliant HTML.
Also the search engines now understand much better and prefer your code if its standard and compliant.

When a browser is interpreting your webpage, if you have valid HTML code, you have the advantage of the browser
understanding the exact structure of your pages, and all your visitors, whatever browser, should see exactly what they should see and not a complete mess.
Your badly coded pages may look fine to you, with your browser, but not everyone will see the same. |

Personally, we have an old webpage quite high in google that is badly coded, but optimising your website includes many factors, not just one part.
Many SEO Experts believe search engines value valid code and take this into account when ranking your site so it is definitely worth the extra effort and time to properly validate your code.

Like any part of SEO, your code is just as important, it wont make any real difference on its own but together with all other optimisation complete, its the icing on the cake.
Fell free to use the W3 HTML Validator on the left to check your code is correct and learn how to code properly according to w3's current guidelines and give your web site the edge, you will be surprised how many top websites are badly coded. |
