Matt from Lexington, KY asks: "Is first link priority an on-page SEO factor? If so, should we modify CSS or JavaScript to show the correct link first?"

Google is like Teflon, nothing sticks!
Stop worrying what googles doing and focus on the things you love to do!

@bragadocchio He clearly stated "*In general*, it doesn't matter. But we could assume that there is at least a small bearing, just like how Google takes content closer to the top of the page as a higher priority.

Hi Matt,
I think the question involved links on the same page that pointed to the same destination page. Does the first one count more than the second when it comes to the anchor text?
I suspect that the answer is more complicated than which link is found first by the search engine.

@dannycarter85 Oh they tried a new 3d rendering engine. There was a glitch and his hair got removed.
