To give you an example of how page rank work within a site: Imagine, you build a pyramid of buckets and all the buckets in the pyramid have little holes in it. Now if you keep filling the buckets with water then the water will flow through the pyramid to the other buckets, which means that there is less water in the main bucket. Now, imagine the buckets are the pages within your site (including the pages where all your links point to as well), the holes are the links and the page rank is the water.
