I was just reading: hobo-web.co.uk/optimize-website-navigation part "First Link Priority – Do Multiple Links From One Page To Another Count?". The guy over there states the same as you. That the first link matters the most, but for me, that is not logical, funny, and hard to believe Anyway I accept that everything is possible even this too. So let's make the first links the best, so we don't have to think too much. | |

One chain had single links to each page, the other chain double links. After some months, I measured Googlebot's crawl rate of the pages in each chain because that is based on PageRank. If the chain with duplicate links passed PageRank, Googlebot would re-crawl the pages in that chain more often. However, the re-crawl rates of the pages in each chain were identical. | |

| Jan 8, 2018 at 13:14 | comment | added | Matěj Kříž | How does Google handle nofollowed links? In general, we don't follow them. This means that Google does not transfer PageRank or anchor text across these links. Essentially, using nofollow causes us to drop the target links from our overall graph of the web. However, the target pages may still appear in our index if other sites link to them without using nofollow, or if the URLs are submitted to Google in a Sitemap...
