if I have a blog as mydomain/blog with excellent pagerank, thousands of incoming links, SEO-goodness etc; will that blog help me rank for keywords on my main site's pages even though the keywords on that main site are not mentioned on the blog? but they (blog, pages on main site, keywords) would be same theme of home decor category.
I am thinking of buying an existing popular blog and moving it to mydomain/blog.
this is essentially an alternate method of buying incoming links to my main site as i will add the redirect from the old blogs domain to mine once i own it. but curious if SEO for the blog improves SEO for the main site.

Do you link to the main site from the blog and all it's pages? If not, then there's no way for the engines pass any sort of link pop. to the main site.

Yes. So, it is the equivalent of just getting an inbound link. I was hoping for more.
that was a question. wouldnt all inbound links to the blog now be inbound links to the site if the blog sat at site/blog? and if so , wouldnt that help each and every page of the site rank for its keywords? or would it only help site/blog/pageX rank for its words?

There's no such thing as links to a "site." Links can only go to one page, no?

true. but don't links to certain pages on a site still help the other pages ranking on the site. for example, when techcrunch writes a new blog post, that post ranks very high for the keywords in the post/on page because techcrunch has a strong pagerank, many incoming links to its other pages.

They help other pages of the site not because they are simply part of the site, but because those other pages are linked to within the site.
It's all about how pages are linked together.
A page on your domain that was not linked to from any other page on your domain would have no benefit or link popularity from the domain itself. It only gets that benefit if the other pages link to it one way or another.

because techcrunch has a strong pagerank,
Techcrunch as a "site" or a "domain" does not have a strong PageRank. Each page of TechCrunch has it's own PR based on how the other pages link to them.
