Whay does the "?" in a url mean?

My website www.sovereignfunding.com has a linking capaign that I am working on.  A lot of the sites that want to link to me have great Google PR's but their link section url's often have an "?" in the url ie <a href="Finance-Companies.htm?ur=10" class="textSmallWhiteLt">Finance Companies A-L</a>  and I notice from that point on the url/links usually have no PageRank.

What is the "?" used for and why does it seem to degrade the PageRank?

Sincerely,

David S.

hi..

here is how it works...

suppose u have two pages page1.asp and page2.asp

u want to send a variable from page1 to page2 , then we will do like this

from page1.asp we will call page2 like this page2.asp?name="John"

from page2.asp we can retrive the value in name

myname = request.querystring("name")

then the variable myname in page2.asp will have the value John.

hope u got it
