Page Rank Flow

[AL123al]

I wonder if someone can help me understand clearly page rank flow.

If we have a website with a Home page, Services, About and Contact as a very basic website and the page rank will flow to each of those pages from the Home page (i'm not including internal linking between pages or anchor text from the home page content - this is a question purely about home page flow via the main navigation).

If the Services page had 3 drop down pages. Would the home page rank also flow to each of these or is it going to the Services page which then distributes it to the three drop down.

So instead of Home page rank flowing to 3 pages 33% each - it is flowing to 6 pages 16.6% each.

Or is it flowing to 3 pages - 33.3% then the Services pages get a third of 33.3% ->10.1%

I know this is simplifying it all a great deal- but it is the basic concept I am trying to grasp on this simple example.

Thanks

The value passed from one page to another is divided by the number of links that are linking out of that page. So all links in the navigation and drop down navigation will count.

The following video does a really good job of explaining PageRank and I highly recommend it.
