Has anyone found site with as up to date as possible internet usage statistics?
Not sure what sort of stats you are looking for, but http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp is current for browser, operating platform and monitor res ...

Why did you mention validation and page sigh?
The forums are full of suggestions (beliefs?) that these elements do, indeed, carry weight with the SEs.

It is logical, after all, if a browser can't validate the code and has to guess at what the page should display, why wouldn't a search engine spider have some difficulty indexing a page properly? If a page doesn't load quickly due to validation errors or size, perhaps the spider won't fully index a page.

Logic aside, I have sites with (minor) validation problems and page sizes that far "outweigh" the guidelines, that do very, very well in the SERPs.

That would be my 2 cents on a Sunday morning.

And thanks to Webnauts for a good article.
