inbound links /number of indexed pages

Is there importance to the inbound links /number of indexed pages

Hi,
All thou in many places I read about the “duplicated pages penalty” or that pages that are mainly contain duplicated content will not be indexed, I never noticed or encountered such problems in my site.
My site has about 90K indexed pages and I assume that only about 30%-40% of them
Are 100% original, the rest are “archives”, “print version” and such.
I red not long ago an article about this issue named “Duplicate Content and vBulletin Forums”. The author of this article states that he doesn’t see problem with this kind of duplicate pages.

But I ask my self: is there importance to the inbound links / indexed pages ratio?
In what dose it helps me that I have ~ 40K pages that are mainly duplicated and get very few entries via SERPs?

Is the mere fact that I have these 40K pages helps my site?
Or on the other hand, it simply lowers the links / pages ratio and damages my site?

If I remember correctly the duplicate content filters mainly affects copy-pages distributed over different domains. Targeting at SEOs trying to spam the serps with more than one website in order to take more than one spot on page one.

I guess google has many means to determine whether you are trying to spam with theses duplicates. I don't think that inbound-link/number-of-pages ratio plays a major role, but who knows?

used to be the case but i think they are now filtering at single domain/page level
