    Priority is just a signal to Google that which URL's are to be counted first in relation to others. David Viney suggests

    Set a value of 0.9 for the homepage, 0.8 for section pages, 0.7 for category pages, and 0.6 for important
    content pages (e.g., landing pages and money pages). For less important content pages, use a setting of 0.3. For archived content pages, use 0.2. Try to achieve an overall average across all pages of near to 0.5.
