Does the nav bar affect ranking?

[onelife]

Hi all,

I recently used a tool to analyse my site, as if it was a web robot etc.

The thing I noticed was that any search robot would have to fight its way through lines and lines of navigation links and text before it got to the page content.

Even when I coded as much as possible in css there was still loads of code between the header and the page content.

Does anyone know if moving the navigation links to the bottom and right margins gives any significant improvement in rankings?

Thank in advance

It's been said that having page content nearer the begining of the page helps. So moving links after the content should help.
