The Truth About SEO and HTML Validation

On the other side people claim that HTML validation is strictly for visitors and has nothing to do with search engine optimization. This article is designed to explain why HTML validation is a good idea for a website and PROVE without a doubt that HTML validation has no bearing on search engine optimization what so ever.

The Value of HTML Validation

There are quite a few benefits to having valid HTML web pages. This is all geared toward the visitors and user ability of your website. Obviously there are many different types of web browsers on the internet. Believe it or not the buck doesn’t stop at Firefox or Internet Explorer! The whole concept of validating HTML is to allow web browsers to properly show HTML to the viewer. As the years have gone by, HTML has grown and many tags, elements and HTML structures have changed or been depreciated. However, most browsers will still render depreciated HTML. The issue comes down to web browsers finding multiple instances of validated and depreciated HTML code. This will result in a web page being display differently in different web browsers due to how that specific web browser renders that depreciated HTML. The main benefit you’ll achieve with validated HTML is knowing that all your web pages will appear properly and the same in almost every web browser.
