There has been a lot of discussion on this topic for a couple years now and we often get ask questions on just how important valid markup really is. 

Even though it is important to make sure your Web site validates mainly on a spiders ease of read your content a study done by Opera states that less than 5% of Web sites on the Web actually validate.  That leaves 95% of all sites being penalized for bad validation …that just isn’t going to happen!

So no valid validation is not one of Google’s top 200 ranking factors but it sure does make a spiders visit to your site faster if your sites code is clean and free of errors.
