The higher rank number a page has shows that the page has a higher value than a lower rank number. A page with a 0 ranking can also be a new page with no links yet or one that has been penalized by Google for employing spam tactics in their web pages. So you want to get people with higher rank values to link to your pages.

The way it works is as other websites link to your pages they are effectively casting a vote for your page. If higher rank pages link to your page it makes your page more valuable because if higher value pages link to it then it must also be of high value.
