I'm trying to encourage Google to crawl more of a specific dynamic section in my site which he's 'neglecting'. I have internal links from my more popular section to this section, but those are at the end of the page.Does the placement location (up-down) of such inner links make a difference when Google tries to focus his crawlers on the more important content?
Does internal link in-page placement (up-down) effect crawl likeness?

The placement of links on the page does change how effective the links are at passing pagerank and helping the linked pages rank.   Here is a graphic from an article on buuteeq that shows this well:http://www.buuteeq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/link-value.jpgGooglebot crawls pages with a frequency based on how much pagerank each page has.  When Googlebot encounters a new section of links, it will crawl deeper when the first page it encountered had more pagerank. To get your pages to get crawled more and to rank better, you should:Link to the section more oftenUse deep links into that section in addition to linking just to the main page of the sectionUse a list of several links into that section instead of just one link to the main page (never more than 10 links in a list though!)Make sure the links are prominent so that they get fully counted
