Johannes Beus of Sistrix revisited the "first anchor text" debate again last Monday and got some nice results in conjunction with image links. We translated his test results to English.

very interesting indeed. Seems to be some validation missing in the experiments though. Mainly surrounding the first link = nofollow second link anchor ignored.

Also need a test 6, with the first link being a picture, with both a totle and alt tag. I’m sure we can ASSUME the result would be the same, but might be nice to verify...
