Just followed this interesting seo experiment

that proves - or at least gives a strong clue - that Google cares about valid xhtml.

The experiment looks easy to understand. They created a web site that has 4 duplicate pages but they had :

1 Valid Html + CSS
1 Valid HTML + Invalid CSS
1 Invalid HTML + Valid CSS
1 Invalid HTML + Invalid CSS

They used the same anchor text to link to these pages, and for some reason Google picked the page that has valid xhtml & CSS. This may not mean something by itself, but I guess the fact that Google recognizes valid pages give me something to think for the future Smiley

Trial and Error my two best teachers Cool
