Link authority isn't computed for every page, but more like on a site-wide level.
the results will give you an idea as to how many pages link to the entire domain. to see what pages are linking to the domain from external sites choose 'Except from this domain' in the drop down menu right next to the 'Show Inlinks' label.
Goto www.google.co.uk and search for <snip>
An almost empty site is in first place. Yahoo shows 19 in links. How the hell has that happened?
The genuine <snip> site comes lower in rankings?

[edit reason] Removed specifics. Let's not out sites. Thanks. [/edit]
Building up a network of sub-domains and then using those as your link network does work from what I've seen. I think the only downside to this is, at what point does G start discounting or penalizing this? Currently, it doesn't appear as though they do, but once that happens, you would be in trouble. To me, this technique falls under the darker side of gray.

a co.uk version of that cms site pops up; google may be more inclined to give it's uk users a site with a uk tld. if you perform the .com query, nonetheless, you get the cms site.
I have competitors that do the same thing and rank #1 across the board for it. From what I've gathered, Google counts sub-domains as separate sites. As was previously posted, the authority of the main site flows to these sub-domains.
Actually, I think once you've got some experience with SEO and the algorithms, you probably won't doubt for a second that Google is going to use that connection and let link authority flow throughout every sub-domain. They obviously do it with different pages on a website (the whole "trust" factor), so why wouldnt they do it simply, because somebody chose to use subdomains instead of multiple pages on that website. It doesn't make the content any more or less relevant, and Google can tell they all belong to the same person/domain in both cases.
Im often wondering if Google even does that for other sites such as (made up examples):
www iheartword1 com
www iheartword2 com
www iheartword3 com
...
when using the site explorer I often see such sites which belong to the same brand interlink heavily...and am wondering: Hm...are the backlinks for this particular site really relevant or does trust flow through the wohle brand network of sites?
Maybe they even do it with whois data and sites belonging to the same person?;))
(I'm only kidding of course!)
