I always thought that the amount of direct trust transfered to a subdomain should have to deal with weather or not the root linked to it, and in what ways.

Pure speculation.

Subdomains are golden, in my opinion. They seem to bypass all the filters, and get all the weight of a seperate domain, while retaining all the weight of the root domain. It's actually a bit unfair to the competition, IMO.

Bypass filters ? What filters ?
Retaining all the weight of the root domain ? In all my carrier i didn't noticed that, and i promoted/built over 500 websites. This is really important, because NONE of my tests prove that. I'm not a starter in this too, so i know what i am talking about.

Internal links do not carry as much weight as they used to. For example, a link from www.v7n.com to www.v7n.com/scripts/ would be considered internal, and that link would not carry a ton of weight of do much for you in the SERPs.

I agree, that an internal link does not pass so much weight as an external one, of the same exact parameters (credibility/trust and pagerank).

However, Google does not seem to treat links to and from subdomains as "internal" links. They treat them as seperate domains. So a link from www.v7n.com to http://blog.v7n.com is almost fully weighted, as an offsite link would be.

They sure aren't. They are external just as any other external link.
BUT, please bare with me on this one : PR passed from an internal page, to another internal page, is WAY larger/bigger than PR passed from an external page to an internal page.
An internal PR5 page with 30 outbound links, and linking to 20 other internal pages, will pass a PR4 or PR3 to all of those internal pages, while the external link will pass none or 1 or something like that.
Please read the last phrase carefully and comment on that.
THose days are long gone, but you do have a point.
Nonetheless, the internal PR transfer formula is way different now, and it just doesn't abide to the above anymore (not totally).

Another thing is, I can submit http://directory.v7n.com to web directories where www.v7n.com is listed, and most web directories will treat this as a URL deserving it's own listing.
|
True.
Wrong. The fact that they have www in the URL means jack. They all have millions of links pointing to them, which contain the www anchor (probably amongst others, like "the start of www" or stuff).
I rank #4 with a website i own (and this was a test i done), for 2,5 million results term, and my page does not contain ANY occurances of that word.
With ny test i wanted to see how far (as search results go) would this tehnique go.
You can rank #1 for a 200.000.000 result term, only with anchors.

The first would outrank the second for "green", and vice versa for "blue".

Not quite. It's not a matter of hierarchy. it a matter of relevance.
Assuming that both the two pages below, have one single IBL, from the same page, with the anchor "test" :
Google with place each one first, depending on what you search for. Cristian Mezei, or Mezei Cristian.
It's not a matter of what word is first, thus you win. It's a matter of relevancy in search engines.
Of course that the /cristian-mezei/ page would have an additional IBL with the anchor "mezei cristian" it WILL rank first for that word.
Maybe i was a little unclear in all the above. Bear with me.

If they had used folders instead of subdomains, they would only get 2 max per SERP.

True...
But really, 2 listings or 4 linstings are the same to me. People will still visit them no matter.
