This could now become a pointless Internet Marketing task.

PageRank should be allowed to flow freely and the idea of manipulating PageRank should be low priority as the primary factors to any Search Engine Marketing Campaign should be: original high quality content, good site structure, high quality/relevant links - which will make search engine want to crawl and index a website for better positions.
