W3C Validation and its importance

W3C or World Wide Consortium is an organization that governs the standards and recommendations for the development of the website. So in summary are a lot of standards for a well done website. This does not mean that if you do not meet the standards your site is not well made.

Validate a website is easy, just go to this page ( W3C Validator ) and enter the address of your blog or website. I will say that many errors have. The last revision I made ​​to my blog had only 3 errors that I have corrected. The report tells, this document was successfully checked as HTML5!, in future I'll tell them how to fix it.

When they are doing the review one is going to find a small number of errors, less than 50, and others with excessive quantities, more than 500. Whatever the numbers do not panic, sometimes to correct a silly little mistake is corrected more than one at a time. Take it easy. Some errors are easy to find and not so. Some errors are in the same post they write, there may be errors in widgets that use their website or if for example are using wordpress may find errors in your theme files.

And serving them correct?

Two reasons. To meet the standard, which is not bad. And to raise a little bit your Positioning in google and other search engines. Remember that loves google code pages with clear and clean, and one way to do that is sure to meet the standards of the W3C. And take note that I am not saying that if they have 0 errors visits will increase a lot but rather improved by a few percent. According to my philosophy that small percentage is worth the trouble to fix these errors

About this I have read several theories that say things like "do not need to validate the entire site or page but only the first half" ... mmm ... maybe. But the truth calmly and patiently can greatly reduce errors. Needless to fix everything in one day.

I would like to know the results of you reading this post ... if you can leave me your comments with the result that test them.
