Google does not mind even poorest coding quality.

For our main keyword a site is riding on top with even 2 urls since ages that feature around 50 validation errors each including:

This page is not Valid (no Doctype found)!

In addition that site has a lower PR than we have, that site has never seen any update whilst we do that almost daily.

Also that sites` content is almost a perfect contradiction to the initial search term "Free .... " with only selling some software.

PR, regular updates, validation errors, relevance and other elementary criteria do not seem to have much of a meaning for Google search engeneers in these days.
