I have a dynamic php website which index only has around 800 errors according to the w3 validator online.

I have tried checking major websites like ebay, stackoverflow and others also, all with around 400 errors.

So my first thought is, what good is that validator when it always displays errors?

Secondly, will the errors affect my SERP ranking? ie, will me fixing these errors as good as I can increase my Google search position?

Thanks
