Forgot to close <div> tag can cause indexing problems?

What do you think? I forgot to close <div> tag on many inside pages.

I have problems to get my pages into the Google index. Can forget to close a <div> tag cause indexing problems? What do you think?

Please also see the screenshot.

Just to let you know: about 90% of my well indexed inside pages DON'T have a <div> bug. But some have a <div> bug and are indexed well too.

But about 70 pages have a <div> bug and I get them not into the Google index.

The open <div> doesn't matter for indexing a page.

The only thing that really matters for indexing is, your not blocking Google with a noindex in the HTML, robots.txt, htaccess file, or any type of server side redirect.

The only problem a DIV tag can cause is NOT to visualise the content (and the whole website page) as you want (for example the text appears anywhere else on the page)

  Thanks guys,
  
  This shows my htaccess file opening with notepad:
  
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
  
  Is this fine?
  
  Thanks

  Better than fine, it's good.
  
  Those rules ensure a 301 redirect from the non-www to www name of your site.

  Thanks UMS! Glad to say that today I got 10 pages more in the index. 60 are missing but anyway: 10 more since weeks. A good sign for me.
  
  Thanks
