http://www.v7n.com/forums/seo-forum/49141-myth-relevancy.html"In my opinion, the Google algorithm is less about affirmative elements such as relevancy – relevancy being a figment of Google’s imagination – and more about link filtering. For example, footer links. You can test that by placing a link in the footer of a page to page A, and placing a link above the fold/content to page “B” with the same anchor text. I can assure you, all things being equal, page “B” will get the link juice.
Google’s relevancy is about as real as Ted Kennedy’s integrity. Same goes for “neighborhoods”. Well, maybe that is not entirely accurate. I should just say that relevancy doesn’t play as big a role in the algorithm as they would like you to believe. "
