This is one excellent post. This is really going to my bookmarks. Anyway, Web Standards are very important for many different reasons. Only if you have understood the basics can you move on to the more "expert" fields in web dev and search marketing.

"The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), along with other groups and standards bodies, has established technologies for creating and interpreting web-based content. These technologies, which we call 'web standards', are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web. Designing and building with these standards simplifies and lowers the cost of production, while delivering sites that are accessible to more people and more types of Internet devices.
