Hi,

So, I have a client who wants to host two websites (which you could refer to as sister sites) on the same hosting account.

For some reason, I was under the impression that doing as much may be detrimental (for SEO purposes). Am I correct in thinking this? Can I get some back-up documentation or comments here? I look forward to hearing what you all have to say. Thanks for reading!

Hi, have any of you ever used a local citation building service? Are some better than others, any recommendations? Any bad experiences or companies to avoid?

I'm fairly new to the process and it looks like there's a lot of snake oil salesmen in this vertical, so any and all insight you could give me would be great! Thank you in advance, I look forward to hearing feedback from all of you!

Bryan,

I'm going to give you an example of one of the site pages after I run it through W3C validator. Would you mind having a look at it and telling me how highly I should prioritize fixing these issues?

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lawtonmd.com%2Fprocedures%2Fbreasts%2Faugmentation&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

The developer I'm working with on this site is telling me that these issues are a very low priority, but as I'm seeing throughout the threads, his lack of interest in repairing these issues is of some concern to me.

Hi,

I'm currently working with a developer who is trying to tell me that validation errors and warnings are of little to no importance in a website's SERP.

In the past, whenever I've had a site that was experiencing problems ranking for a keyword terms, this was one of the first places we'd look.

Is this still a relatively important component in getting a site to rank?
