        First question for you is have you been hacked at all? There's some fishy-looking content on your site. Look at http://frederickpctech.com/2011/08/garretts-mill-maryland-computer-repair/

        "Lingering dead аrе сеrtаіnlу thе days whеn οnlу being careful аbουt hitting a file οr a link wаѕ enough tο defend уου. Once thіѕ wаѕ simply a conundrum іf уου traded unlawful software curriculum, nowadays viruses in addition tο trojans regularly infect systems without thе need οf input frοm thе addict. Attacks аrе аt thіѕ point cross platform along wіth cross browser, using security holes obtained in helper applications. A trojan mау well target addict despite browser οr operating-logic."

        Can you tell us a little on the history of this site, and how your traffic is doing? It looks like you have several spammy looking pages, and a lot of spammy comments coming to the site as well when I look in Open Site Explorer. You have more issues than just code validation. Is this a site you put together and you did linkbuilding on, or something that someone else did and you're now taking it over and trying to clean it up? Some context with your involvement and knowledge of SEO will give us a hand in helping to educate you and point you in the right direction.

              While you only asked about the code, you're going to want to get rid of that word spinner plugin, and take a fresh look at your site from the eyes of a potential customer. Perfectly valid code is going to do little or nothing for your bottom line if a customer comes to your site and finds you talking about "temporary internet minutes", or a copy of Zillow housing prices. They're also not going to come to your site from a comment on a online newspaper from someone who is named "Antiques" and makes a comment saying "Im glad I stumbled onto it. Have a good day And Check me out" that links to your site.

              Try disabling some of your plugins and see how your code is. What plugins do you have? I have a feeling you have some you don't need, especially the ones that are there listing the search terms that came into your site, the ones spinning text, etc.

                  Usually you only want one plugin trying to do the same thing at the same time, so two plugins for SEO can often cause problems and conflict with each other. I've heard good things about Yoast's plugin, but haven't used it myself.

                  Similarly, you only want one caching plugin.

                  My personal opinion is to try not to do too much all at once with this site. Get comfortable with creating a few pages before trying to add every fancy-looking plugin you can find. Have a regular contact page and ditch the inline contact widget and see if that reduces the number of errors. Remove the Quickbar. Remove the tag cloud that shows the stuffing of zip codes. Remove the RSS feeds of local news. Focus this site on computer repairs. Put up useful articles about how to do some basic maintenance on your computer, that type of thing.
