Another under-the-radar-of-the-real-world blog firestorm erupted yesterday over high profile page rank drops. Google dropped visible PR of many blogs and mainstream news sites presumably as a penalty for selling links.

No one except Google really knows for sure why PR dropped for these sites but it certainly looks like an extension of September’s paid directory massacre. This time Google targeted some well-known sites in the search marketing world and mainstream news too.

A lot of clients ask why they need their ‘already working perfectly well’ website validated. Below is a brief guide to try and answer this in a clear and simple way. Firstly we should explain what is meant by a validated website.
Put simply, validation is the act of writing and designing a website in as ‘clean’ a way as possible and testing it against industry standards. It makes use of cascading style sheets (CSS) to format the page layout and text and also cleans up any ‘loose coding’ which could otherwise cause problems.
For a further description we refer to an excerpt from the wc3 website as they are the last word when it comes to validation!
Validation is a process of checking your documents against a formal Standard, such as those published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for HTML and XML-derived Web document types. It serves a similar purpose to spell checking and proofreading for grammar and syntax, but is much more precise and reliable than any of those processes because it is dealing with precisely-specified machine languages, not with nebulously-defined human natural language.

I was looking for a really good company for accessibility and usability and LOL I just found some Irish based company that will get your money for a badge …some content from their website:
Global Website Certification - The EIQA Certified Website Process - http://www .eiqa. com
Methodology
The EIQA website is conducted using a combination of over 200 automatic and manual checks on an organisations site. Automated tools are run to generate reports of standard errors like HTML and CSS validation errors, deprecated HTML and possible accessibility errors.
Structural elements such as HTML and CSS will be validated against the standard W3C and WCAG standards for compliant code. Good structural code should be in place and will be checked to ensure content is separated from presentation style. This is all done with an automated tool and manual process to ensure consistency and a detailed report is sent per page and per line.
—- they have some statement about accessibility/…etc
So like everybody I was checking they website ….and I was surprised, never seen this yet: 
I press the search button, the layout messed up, and I tried ti validate it … over 2000 ERRORS
I would recommend you do some checks, on the websites if they seems to be ok then you can go ahead…. do not throw your money on nothing.
The only Irish company I found that really does the job, I’ve checked like 10 clients from their portfolio is http://www.enhance.ie/
