W3 validation very important for seo because it used to check whether our website contains any HTML and CSS error.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) sets standard for coding HTML and CSS for the web pages.W3C validation does not have a direct crash on Google rankings, especially since Google’s pages do not validate. Google may just include W3C validity in their algorithm. Use W3C to make sure that your site visibility in all browsers.

W3c validation ensures your website quality also it is used to web pages crawling by search engines. Google has stopped crawling my website even if i changed link structure, adding new content but nothing was helpful. i just validated all web pages with w3c validation and Google started crawling pages after validation

A while back I was reading an article about how someone tested 2 sites one with good w3c validation and one with very poor validation. It was a fairly extensive test by someone that seemed to know what they were doing and talking about. The end result was it didn't matter at least for ranking in Google. The one with poor validation actually ended up ranking better.

Google does not use W3C validation as part of their ranking algorithm. But the W3C Validation is a sign of professionalism and a future-proof quality check.

W3C stands for World Wide Web consortium and it is responsible to make the web accessible to the whole world easily. It creates web standards and manages those standards as well. These are called recommendations and these recommendations are suggested by the W3C members. These recommendations are very much helpful to make the web better in every aspect so these are required to be followed carefully.
