Am I wrong? If correct then surely it makes no difference to how far down the page content actually starts. Please explain. The Bigman replies: Hello Jeff, It makes a difference as in 99% of tabled source code, the navigation will appear before the content and if there is a large number of navigation links of the page, it can appear as spam to the search engine spiders. The first thing a spider wants to see on a page is an H1 tag followed by P tag content. Then, ideally, an H2 tag, P tag content, a UL, LI, an H3 tag, P tag content (with a picture somewhere on the page)and then navigation links. It doesn't want to come accross 60 links before any content is found. This started as a theory and we have tested it out on hundreds of websites over several years and it has worked on each and every one of them, so I am confident in stating that this is 100% accurate information. I hope this answers your question Jeff, but don't hesitate to get back in touch if you have any other questions.
