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.
