I alway make skip links to all major parts of the page, being the

(content first and then navigation).
Don't you need a "skip 'skip links' link", then? :-)
No, because then you'd probably want a "skip 'skip "skip links"
link' link" as well ;-)
As I said in another post in this thread I start with linking to
the content and then I link to the various types and levels of
navigation in order of importance. That way users can skip the skip
menu quite soon (I'd say as soon as with a more regular "skip to"-
navigation).
Weighing in rather late to this discussion; hopefully this is still
relevant. I think Maxdesign had a study on skip links [1] and the
benefits to visually challenged users a while ago. I found the
presentation rather useful, because it challenged some of my own
assumptions as to how visually challenged users interact with
websites. The gist of it was that 'skip to' links were perhaps less
useful than structural headings, though I read through the
presentation far too long ago for that to be a good summary.
