Are in-content links (with anchor text) better for SEO compared to footer/header links?

There are arguments for both.
Google likes header and footer links, however at a recent conference a yahoo spokesman hinted that they look at words around anchor text in order to see are they related.

Around the anchor text???
Hmmm....interesting. But it isn't a good idea because the words around the anchor text may not be related in anyway.

Yeah but that was a yahoo spokesman.
Google is focusing more on latent semantic indexing nowdays.
Either way probably wont make a huge difference, and no harm in doing both.
Personally I like header and footer menus myself though, just for ease of navigation.
Design your menu placement for your visitors and it will probably end up working well for google as well.
Google tries to get the most relevant and user friendly sites ranking, so make your site like so.

In content links are better because they provide more relavency. They allow your anchort text to be surrounded by other related keywords.

I was wondering, if I have a page with let's say 500 words.
Would it better for my links to be placed among those 500 words and the links be somewhere in one part?

Better to stick text in the start or end of text.

to be onest if there is a difference it'll be minimal. nice thing to knw abotu the surrounding words though, again its just keyword density.

Won't LSI work better if the anchor text is surrounded by descriptive text?

To a specific extent but think it will only account for a couple of percent of the algo.
