According to wikipedia
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm which assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).
In short it is based upon mathematically formula which use uses links as votes (more votes mean you are at top of the Google search engine).

Best not to get too involved with the maths. As long as you remember to accumulate inbound links from relevant sites of equal or higher PageRank you’re laughing. Best not to link to too many sites in return.
Yup, it is a good idea not to mess up with Google pagerank. This program just gives us idea about math though?
Appreciate your post.
