I would agree that its not a ranking factor, however…
W3C standards are honored by browsers, and spiders alike. I am no expert, but if you have two documents, one has proper structure, while another doesn’t, I would rather parse the document with proper structure.
Its like a compiler for HTML. Many users are often unaware of their HTML flaws. W3C helps eliminate potential problems like invalid characters, closing/opening tags, attributes, and much more.

SEO can best be done by knowing the fundamentals of HTML. Make sure you understand the value of w3c validation. TheMusicAge attempts this and is fairly successful. Google “SEO TheMusicAge” or “TheMusicAge Marketing” for more information.

Good point here Joel, definitely NOT going to hurt you, so if you have time go for it. I think the big thing is not thinking that these tactics will skyrocket you to the top.

Consideration three: know your competition. How well you do in the search engine results is a function how much hard work you have put in relation to that of your competition. You want to make sure you work harder and more diligently than those against whom you are competing so keep this in mind when writing your website and article content.

There are heaps of things you CAN do, but unless you either have unlimited time (and want to be glued to the computer 24/7) or a huge team to help, it makes sense to concentrate your efforts on those things that will produce best results. Good stuff.

meta tags and …
meta tags and submitting your site isn’t going to hurt you But if you only have 5 minutes at the end of the day your time is better spent establishing strong links with relevant sites rather than working on the other items. But if you have time for both, go for it. (or get one of the interns to do it)

Agreed on the crawl thing, this video is a little old, and as usual I go off on tangents
I just can’t help it
Thanks for dropping some feedback.

I’m kinda on the fence with this video, you make some good points and then you go off on a tangent :/ You title the vid best practice, um meta tags are a best practice just leave it at that. It’s been a practice since the beginning and still is today. And submitting your site to Google to crawl to let them know your updating etc etc… does speed up the process, it’s another best practice.

While some of the things you mentioned don’t count as much, it doesn’t hurt to have it either. Extra effort pays off in my opinion.

Dig the talk but, why would you say not to submit your site when it takes no time at all… Just don’t understand why google and yahoo would build these capabilities if they don’t use them?

I wouldn’t trust much of what Matt Cutts says anymore. Just like the US military, disinformation is a primary strategy. Some of his recent discussions are shaky at best.
Certainly good architecture plays a ranking factor and can’t understand why this is still being disputed?
