    Valid markup comes under on-page SEO TO-DO list...and no matter how precisely you do on-page changes its just a basic need of a site...as millions of other sites are doing it same as you!...what matters much is your backlinking profile.

    I don't tend to validate my website 100%, but it's certainly an important thing to have a valid code, while it's much easier for SE to crawl your pages properly.

    So, my answer is YES, valid codes always help with SEO, but it is not the most important key.

    It's good to have code that validates because it means that a wide range of browsers will be able to display your site properly. Especially with all the new browsers available, and mobile devices, you want your site to be seen by as many as possible. While FireFox, for example, may be able to render your broken code correctly, that doesn't mean that someone using, say, Safari, will see it properly.

    As for search engine ranking, I believe if it is a factor at all , it is a very small one. It is important for the bots to properly be able to read your site of course though.

    Valid markup is still a factor for SEO because you want your site's content to be readable to SE spiders.

    It sure will help you not only in search engine rankings but in browser compatibility issues.
