W3C Compliance with Google

I personally know W3C compliance as "the tool that comes back with a million errors", which I usually look and then think to myself "bugger that". Do you think it has much of an impact on rankings? I have seen sites at 1 also with "a million errors", slight exaggeration. Where I work are now spending lots of time of this w3c compliance gumph...

No, it's not going to negatively affect your search rankings unless it's so bad that even browsers struggle to render the page (then you've got more than just the search engines to worry about).

W3C compliance is something I mentioned in my on-page guide. To summarise, W3C compliance has its place and is worth aiming for for the benefit of visitors and site management/development (especially if you intend putting a DHTML or CSS layer over the top), as well as your own personal knowledge development. In itself it isn't going to get you better search results.
