Hi all
trying to learn a bit about this issue.
Have been looking at Total Validatior to se page errors
http://www.totalvalidator.com/validator/Validator

and found a site that says optimisations has been done by some company and
when I run the validation it comes up with 91 errors on site. Can you give a
advice on this.
the site I checked is http://www.gshotelsresorts.com/conference-events.htm
Can you comment some errors?
and on this site same http://www.seobook.com/ and supposed to be optimised
as their main seems to be optimisation. This one http://www.seomoz.org/ has
only one error on the homepage, seems validator works ok.
Is this tool ok anyway, do you have suggestion on trying something else?

Thanks
BT

Several of those you can't get away with when using XHTML. Don't use XHTML
if you don't understand what it means, or implies.

As for most errors, the validator gives a clear report, and even examples
how to fix it.

other tools to recomend?

Not all people who do SEO understand HTML/XHTML, which is odd in my
opinion.

> Do you see them as trusworthy company?

No idea. Might be that it works SEO wise, but could work better when those
errors are fixed.

> Do you have any other tools to recomend?

Might be very well the case that if you fix those errors (most are very
simple, for example <BR> should be replaced with <br /> (or removed if
possible). Didn't check the SEO on that page, so no idea.

> How are tarantulas?

2 have been mostly hidden for months. I made one leave its burrow last
week, and it ate a cricket. The other one I saw drink some water 2 weeks
ago. So I guess those 2 are ok. The other is even more secretive :-)

I guess I am more a scorpion guy :-) I like to see tarantulas in the wild
though.

Not everyone regards validation as being essential to optimisation. I
regard it as a key component personally, but I'm not everyone.

What do you think other keypoints are?

Key phrase in the title tag, header tag, liberally in the text, anchor
texts in and out.

Whats the latest news about keyword tags? No longer interesting to SE
crawlers, right?
Have you ever been to a SES conference ? What are the beginner benefits to
attend? Or do you suggest, digg the web first and when I get the knowlege
try to attend one?

Pretty much but sensible to use as a precaution against the days it
will be again. Some say that's happening now.

I've never been. I'd think that as a beginner you'd be out of your
depth all day every day.

There's a lot more to optimization than W3C validity! But do I a agree
with Big Bill - if the robots are going to get confused by your code
then you are hurting yourself in the rankings.

You are wise to eliminate the errors (the W3C validator reports 119
errors for that page)
