I think Google's pagerank works through reputation.  If page A is
highly reputable and links to page B, then the reputation of page B
goes up.  So if many reputable pages (or web sites) links to page B,
then that brings up B's pagerank.

I'm not too sure if circular linking has anything to do with it.  Of
course, this was the original 1998 pagerank algorithm (up to my level
of understanding) -- over the years, no doubt Google has updated it.

The part I don't know is if a poorly ranked web page (i.e., mine) is
A, does it contribute very little to page B or does it penalize page
B.  Of course, if it contributes a little, that's no big deal.
Penalizing wouldn't be any good.
