| The number of links on a page matter even though most are oblivious to that fact... right? |

Correct - that has always been my understanding.

From a PR POV, sure. But I don't think trust, authority or relevancy gets split so arithmetically. And as for #1, very true, but a more effective (and widely deployable) tool would be to use nofollow. No leakage. However, one man's leak is another mans gain. How would you like it if all your IBLs from good sites suddenly got NF's by PR-obsessed webmasters?

I doubt anyone would enjoy that Shaddows :-) On the bright side if everyone did it there would be no more pagerank and search engines would need to move away from rewarding links. As for nofollow, I took a site of mine with 400 or so pages, spent a week devising the best possible internal link structure for my purposes and then implemented it. The result was to then watch as 90% of the traffic dried up overnight and take 2 months to crawl back to normal. It did continue rising nicely ever since but it was like wiping the slate clean. I wonder if I wiped any page authority away too, some pages came back 2-3 spots lower than they were before (but with more traffic?) /shrug.

i did the same for a site with about 40 pages, and traffic spiked just for the page to which i funneled most of the pr, once it started to rank competitively. as long as it helps the page you are targeting, i am thinking you've met your objective.

I think the issue now is the number of back links from various domain. I have PR 4 site and i only have 50 unique a day.

PR 4 is not a magic number [webmasterworld.com]. Once that sinks in the "what counts most" question can be answered more profitably. Then you can move on to more advanced ideas like Link Cliques [webmasterworld.com].
