Re: How important is clean html in search results?
Clean code that is laid out with correct syntax is important, in fact every thing is important, just some are more important than others.
The search engines algorythm uses all items in a complicated equation that is rumored to have more thna 1200 variables, which are squared, cubed, squre rooted and processed using very advanced mathematics such as calculus to determine limits of variables which are then inserted into other equations.
If you score badly in any specific field this will drag down your over all results, so you do need to score well every where to be in the top 10.
Having clean code has other advantages such as the ability to make small changes with ease, and applying CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to groups of pages that have similar lay outs and a common theme.
