@stugo yes alt is marginally less 'weighty' than anchor. anyhoo why'd you put an image in a h1, it doesnt make semantic sense?
regarding content first - if you accept the following statements to be true then you'll understand why this is best practice:
* google gives more weight to links with good anchor text
* google gives more weight to links surrounded with on-topic text
* google only attributes weight to the first link to a page in your content (sometimes it uses the second but thats rare)so as a result having your content first gives you the opirtunity to use better anchor text from links that are inside paragraphs of content that override the links in your menus i.e. intead of 'products / services / about your links would carrt more weight as you coudl link ' our range of widgets' / ' learn about our wodget finding' / 'company name is...'
hope that helps!
