Controlling PageRank proves possible with prudent planning. - SitePoint Community Forums: "Don't concentrate only on building up the PR of your home page, for many sites, like my literature one, the home page doesn't really matter since not very many people search for the general topic.
People search for specifics, so you'll want high, targetted, PR on your subpages.
There is, however, times when you'd want to target a single page.
Lets pretend you have 2 related sites.
One site is a webmaster help site (A), the other is a web host (B). A links to B from every page on the site. B does not link back to A (and has no outgoing links), but only has internal links.
So what will happen? B will have roughly twice the amount of PR as A.
Because of the inter-linking on A, all of the pages on A will have roughly the same PR, and since they all link to B then B has roughly the same PR.
However B then links to B1, and B2, which link back to B. End Result? B almost doubles its PageRank, the only reason it does not is because of the dampening factor.
Of course since you own both of these sites you can be sure to make use of this PageRank. On all links pointing to 'B' you use the term 'web hosting'
This exact situation is how I plan on getting in the top 10 for web hosting at next Google update (Late Nov.) "
