Page element positions

Hi, does anyone know if there a way to make an element of a webpage appear at the top of the page to a search engine spider even though it is not right at the top.

For example if you had a menu at the top of a page and text underneath, is there a way to make the text be read first by the web browser/ search engine spider using tables or something?

thanks

You can use CSS Layout for this. Here's a tutorial I reference often:

The example below would allow search engines to read your keywords first even though the user would see them at the bottom.

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#keywords {position: absolute; top: 500px; left: 380px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="keywords">
My Keywords
</div>
<div>
Main Content
</div>
</body>
</html>

Putting your keywords on the alt tags of the image can help your ranking.
