***  Don’t link out to a "bad neighbourhood"   ***There are some interesting signals concerning at least  cache update frequency, even when a page links out to just one bad site.  I have written about that topic on several occasions on several forums, probably about a year ago.*** Validation ***Matt Cutts recently hinted that code errors such as unclosed hrefs and dangling tables might have an effect of which parts of a page are indexed, and of course unindexed content can’t be considered for ranking.

Good points g1smd. I haven’t read your views on ’bad hoods’ (yet), I’m sorry. All I’m trying to say is that - on the clean-ish websites I’ve tested this - a mere icky link didn’t do any harm. However, I have not tested this with a link to something REALLY bad, let’s say to a virus or to something illegal.And yes, if people’s coding is SO crappy that their sites aren’t doing (at the very least) ok in the first place, then trying to validate could indeed make things better. Tx for bringing that to our attention.
