HTML Validation and SEO Process

HTML Stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags. The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page. Simply the purpose of html is to create the webpage, normally static webpage. A website consists of many webpages.

Many SEO Guys doesn’t know the importance of HTML validation, they perform other seo techniques to improve the rating of their websites but due to ignoring the HTML Code Validation in some keywords they stand second rather than first. Some SEO Guys say that HTML Validation is not a part of seo process and it should be ignore. According to me this is totally ignorance because you can understand yourself that website is developed due to HTML and if the Code of HTML is wrong or not according to the standard of w3c then it will hurt your seo process, I can’t say that it hurts badly or small injection but it hurts, as if during the crawling of search engines robot if html code is written wrong then robot will ignore the content within that particular html element, no matter whether the content is simple text or containing your important keywords.

Example

Let us consider we have two important keywords which are free tutorials and php tutorials and we have implemented these two keywords in two different places individually. We have implemented first keyword in h1 tag and other keyword in alt tag, so if we write code some think like this “<1h>free tutorials” and for second keyword “for alt attribute that resides in img tag if we use atl="php tutorials" then you can guess after viewing the code that search engine will totally ignore those keywords that resides in these tags.

I can guess that still some seo guys reading this article are saying that how it is possible because if we wrongly write h1 tag then we can catch this mistake because the text will not become bolder and bigger. But brothers what for wrongly use of alt tag can u catch it too, very difficult. So please make sure to validate your code before moving it to production. Make your habit to have html validation as it is one of important seo techniques.

In my other post which name is SEO project plan, I recommend HTML Validation. Please read this post.
