XHTML better in SEO than HTML?

Well XHTML is deemed better these days because its seen as a cleaner version of the original HTML and thats why quite a few people are following the strict rules to get to valid XHTML.

However, it doesn’t really affect SEO. You would have thought that the search engines would have chosen to put these cleaner websites above the ordinary, bad-coded websites (in general) to improve their results but they still choose to treat them as an ordinary website.

If your website isn’t valid XHTML, I recommend you spend the time to make it valid because you never know, it may help you in future if search engines do decide to put XHTML valid websites in priority.

Stumble it!
