    Thanks for the quick reply. It's really confusing me. Do you think it might be something to do with the content or design layout?

    The keyword here is 'importance' i dont know either why it happens exactly but it does. My general directory used to have a PR0 on the index page and PR4 on the inner pages... why? probably because the inner pages had more relevant information in the eyes of google - perhaps even because those pages were also getting higher requests. Maybe its just google deliberately playing with our minds haha! :p

    Why don't you check backlinks for both homepage and subpage. Maybe you had more quality links to your sub page.

    Look at the richness and repetition of keywords in your inner page. Product names and product numbers and specifications with links to more product information (high relevance).

    Your home page is of very little value from a relavance standpoint.

    Tip: Push all of the stuff about your company from your home page to an about-us page and put your hottest products (with numbers, keyword rich descriptions and prices) on the home page. That's why people are coming to your site. We only care about your company when we've found the product we're looking for.

    Read "Waiting for your Cat to Bark?" if you want to turn your site into a revenue generator.

    Because you have more links pointing to that direct page, the content on the sub page is better.

    It may revert back to a lower PR eventually. I remember once I created a page about a major business that no other sites talked about! So when the PR updated the page jumped to PR6. I assume the keyword strength played a role in it since I was the only source on the internet to provide the information for a much searched business.

    I kind of agree with what bmassey has said that the inner pages are more content/keyword rich than the homepage and maybe ppl are linking more to the inner pages rather than the main one.

    If PR depends on the number of links to a page, then it would have nothing to do with how many requests a particular page is getting, would it?

    Correct fluid, pr is pointless in anything accept to show quickly how important a website is to google. Thats all.

    Yes, I once had this situation. An inner page had some good-quality links to it, because it was a very popular topic. That inner page had a higher PR than the home page.

    As is so often said, it's all (well, not quite "all" :) ) about good links.

    Strong links, inbounding ones are the way to go. You cant go wrong. Just don't get like 5000 all at once. You could get penalized as a link spammer or something.
