How does theme relevance affect Google PageRank?
Theme relevance refers to how related to one another is the subject matter of two interlinked web pages. If both pages discuss tigers, then they are highly theme relevant. It’s thought that Google may be implementing a system of Topic Sensitive PageRank, designed to pass along varying percentages of available PageRank, based on theme relevance. The more closely related the pages, the higher the PageRank amount transferred.

The more closely related the pages, the higher the PageRank amount transferred. PageRank increases in a geometric manner similar to the earthquake Richter Scale. For example, it is harder to go from a PR4 to a PR5, than it was to reach the PR4 from a PR3. In a similar fashion, it’s even harder to get to a PR 6, than it was to get to PR5 from PR4, and so on up. Each level requires increasingly more high value incoming links than did the previous level.
