    Need your advice on internal page linking.
    The goal is to have PR equally distributed on all pages.
    Present internal linking structure: every page has a link from homepage through either upper menu, right menu, or menu at the bottom. Every page is accessible within one click. Pages are not interlinked, axcept for the links from the homepage. All external links have attribute "nofollow". Site also has a blog, from which we are planning to plave links on pages on the website.

    Do you have suggestions on how to correctly link pages? Perhaps, some good resources to go over?

    Don't overdo your linking structure. You don't want 100 links on every page.

    You definitely want to interlink your pages. Category or tag based navigation is something you want to seriously consider - unless you are talking about just a handful of pages.

    If you are running a blog, they usually have halfway decent interlinking out of the box.

    just put a link of next or previous 5-10 articles/pages of your site in each page.. that works for me as my site got PR 4 with 1.5 month age.. and my internal pages are also at PR3, PR2

    Well, I do have a handful of pages on the main website - it's a commercial website that sells services, so on the main site - there is pretty much description of services, whereas information on blog is organized under catagories.
    So, I was wondering how does linking influence PR distributuion over the website? and how to organize the site to manipulate PR distribution across pages on the wbesite...

    Equal distribution of links will result in equal distribution of PR. It'll never be perfect unless you are simply using the same template on all your pages and don't include any links in the content.

    You should be less concerned with PR (unless you are selling links) and more concerned about anchor text. You want to provide meaningful links for your own in-site pages wherever possible, since those are the links that you have real control over.
