My main site (Site A) has dropped in PR. I have another site (Site B) that is very close to a seven.
Site B is powered by a big green monster (High 8) and has about 5 backlinks from site A.
To improve site A's page rank would anyone recommend reversing the flow of PR.
Site A generates and will always generate more revenue and I am very fond of it :)
Many Thanks

More important is the anchor text in the links to page A as well as the on page content.
PR as far as most people's concern is that you will get crawled more often if you have a higher PR.
If you take the 5 links from site A to site B out, then that will help site A's PR increase as it means site A's internal pages have more PR to pass throughout the site to eachother.
On the other hand Site B will lose PR (obviously) as it's not getting as many 'votes' as it had originally.
It depends which website is more important. You say Site A generates more revenue so I'd be more willing to link from Site B to Site A than the way you have it at the moment.
Site B could presell Site A if they are on the same theme.

Just checked the 2 sites you mentioned out. It's a no brainer - of course!
A's PR passing to B is negligable given it's 1 point lower PR.
The real question here is: Do you have a link going from B to A and nothing going back? Yes
In fact I'd get as many links as possible from the rest of your network, using your anchor text as suggested (perhaps stick them at the bottom of the page in a small font due to the unrelatedness) - and a couple of days later check your SERP ranking. Trial and error, see what works best mate. Check your G cache, as you don't have a date field printed on either site I can't tell how recent G's cache is. If G visits daily and updates the SERP's every 2-3 days (my prediction given your PR), then you won't have long to wait.
