Their site had tons of errors that made all of their pages fail validation. After I identified the problems, the client put their developers to work on the project of making the site valid. It took several days to complete but after they were done, the number of indexed pages in Google rose from 2 to 4,300. The number of external links credited to the site jumped from 19 to 1,090 since Google could correctly attribute links to the site. Valid HTML makes a HUGE difference!
