It's checked by slave servers to determine whether or not the zone has changed since the last time the slave got a zone transfer. If the serial number has been incremented, the slave will do a zone transfer to get the new version of the zone. Serial numbers often reflect the date when the zone was edited, although they don't have to. E.g., if you edited a zone this morning, you might serialize it as 200109041. If you edit it again later today, you might increment it to 200109042. You don't really need to worry too much about what the number is, QuickDNS increments it for you automagically whenever you edit a zone.
