Page structure

What should the spider find first and last?

[surfgatinho]

I'm doing an overhaul of one of my sites at the moment and replacing tables with divs/CSS.
This means that the relationship of where the text appears in the HTML vs where it appears on the page is no longer binding.

So... Where to put what (in terms of the actual HTML not layout)?

I guess it makes sense to but the headings first with an H1 and H2 subtitle.

Next I suppose depends whether it is an index type page or a content type page. On an index page the links should come next cf a contnet page where the content should come next. True?

Next we can put the footer stuff in eg site credits, links etc.

Fianlly, as we are using divs we can put all the non content relevant stuff in like "send to a friend", "bookmark me" etc.

Have I answered my own question or does anybody have any different ideas?

For the most part ;-]

Do what you can, it's not possible (yet) to put what you want, where you want, in whatever design that you choose, however you can get the H1 and other juicy stuff at the top.

Don't forget that SE's do like to see some good stuff at the bottom too (or at least that what people used to say, ad I've seen it working...)
