How To SEO Your Website For Google First Link Priority

What is First Link Priority

First and link priority is the new way Google’s sees your links on your webpage. SEO’s were hoping that this was a bug and that Google will fix it, unfortunately Google have confirmed that it is here to stay.
Prior to this change, links on a web page were treated equally. All links on a page had the same weight and importance. At this point your navigation bar position did not matter and did not affect your page ranking. Google looked at how many times you used the same “Anchor text” to point to a page, and then determine which page is more important.

The introduction of first link priority has changed all of this. Now the first link that Google find on your web page will have the absolute power. This first link will determine the most important page on your website. In other words it is the only link that matters.
In most cases:

1. web pages have a header, a navigation bar and content with “Anchor text” links,
2. most navigation bars start with the anchor text “home”, this means, the Anchor text “home” is the most important link on your website.

How to work at around First Link Priority:

1) Using CSS to reposition navigation bars
With this solution we suggest to write the code off your website and such a way that the content appears before your navigation bar (such in the case below). Then using Cascading Style Sheet” reposition your navigation bar on the top of the page before your content. This way the surfer off your website will see the navigation bar at the top of your page while Google will read your content and your more important Anchor text links before the navigation bar.

2) Using JavaScript to create a navigation bar
Google cannot read java scripts, when their robot encounters java script Google, it simply ignore it. It is very safe to use JavaScript to build navigation bars and to place anywhere on your webpage without jeopardizing your Anchor text links. With java you can even create additional body links that will make the navigation experience pretty pleasant to the user and is extremely safe to your website SEO ranking.

3) Using Flash navigation bars.
You can also use Flash to create animated navigation bars. Then using java scripts you can place then on your web page. The floating Flash Navigation bar will be bypassed By Google and you will work around the first link priority limitation.

With these solutions you can force Google to read your Most important link in your content first.
