Impact of W3C Validation over SEO

 Here we can refer some experts comments to analyze the Effect of W3C Validation over SEO

1. Aaron Wall, of  SEOBook:
    If you want to get links from web designers who charge high rates then W3C validation is important to SEO, otherwise it has little direct importance outside of ensuring proper rendering to end users. When one visits Amazon.com or Google or Yahoo! (or just about any billion Dollar+ internet company) they will find a website that doesn’t validate. Why is that?

2. Brent Payne, SEO Director for Tribune
    I like to keep errors under 25 or so, though Tribune has 100+ errors. Perfect code, I don’t think is necessary but you don’t want to have too malformed of HTML. Some say it is a ranking factor, I say you just don’t want to have stuff that is too unexpected for the bots.

3. Dennis Goedegebuure, Senior Manager & Head of SEO at eBay Inc.
    It depends on the type of errors and how many, it all depends on whether the crawler can actually read the real content of the page.

4. Matt Cutts the official voice of Google
Here is a video with what Matt has to say regarding the problems:
With Respect to Effect of W3C Validation over SEO
As you can see from the above testimonials, validation has no direct impact over SEO and you will not receive any bonus from Google. But this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to fix some of the problems to make the site more appealing to the visitors and have a really speedy website.
