Are the footerlinks static or dynamic (different from page to page)?

The footer links are a mix of recent and static with recent being the newest content and static being to the top pages. The sidebar links are dynamic, they link only to pages similar in content as the page they are on.

Are all the additional links pointing to the higher quality content on the site?

I'd say yes for the most part, some of them point to new articles however so they may not all be top quality. I didn't see any links to low quality pages.

The number of internal links will have jumped by a factor of four. It could be an initial surge with a probable dip in traffic later when all page changes propagate but, time will tell. I can't see anything else different about the site, at all.
