If content is at the bottom of the page but the code is at the top, does Google know that the content is at the bottom?

I'm working on creating content for top category pages for an ecommerce site. I can put them under the left hand navigation bar, and that content would be near the top in the code. I can also put the content at the bottom center, where it would look nicer but be at the bottom of the code. What's the better approach?

Thanks for reading!

The higher up the better. Some times Google doesn't crawl the full page, but definitely starts from top to bottom.  The higher you can get the meat of the content, ie top links, keyword phrases, breadcrumbs, the better!

Hope this helps
