Hi Caleb,
I might be wrong but anecdotal evidence suggests order is not an
'issue' for bots scanning your site. I'm other words by in large so
long as your code is structured correctly your <h1>, <h2> etc will be
indexed appropriately.
The only caveat/exception is non-valid code. Also, long, heavy and
bloated code where important tag info is burried way down the page,
can impact on indexability - stuff that's simply not best practice.

Hi,
I have a SEO question regarding how search engines scans a website.
Say for example if I have a site where it has a 3 column layout.
Column left and column right appears before the middle column area,
and within column left, right there are h2, h3 tags; within the
middle column there is a h1 tag.
The source code goes something like this...
<column_right>
<h2>
</column_right>
<column_left>
<h2>
</column_left>
<column_middle>
<h1>
</column_middle>
So would search engines pick up on the h1 header that appears at the
bottom of the page, or picks up on the first header (regardless its
weight) it sees.
Cheers
Caleb
