Instructions On First Link Priority

First Link Priority causes a fair bit of confusion. Basically, if Page A links more than once to Page B, only the anchor text of the first link from Page A to Page B counts.

This can be problematic if the first link is an image link, which cannot pass anchor text.

The way around it is to change the first link to something like yourdomain.com/index/ then add a 301 redirect (use your .htaccess) from /index/ to your home page.

For added security, block /index/ from the search engine spiders using your robots.txt file.
