    All my internal links are "nofollow". I want to know if this affects Google bots in indexing my sites.

    They are not a problem but you will have no SERP gain from nofollow backlinks..

    The question was about internal links. If all of your internal links are nofollow, it is quite likely be a big problem for your page indexing and rankings. Just remove the nofollow on internal links, you absolutely don't need it.

    No follow links are restricted in their purpose by giving you only visibility. I wonder why you would not want your site's contents to be well interconnected with each other... in the eyes of SE's as well!

    This is old. Google changed how nofollow works again in the summer of 2009. Now it still doesn't pass any link juice, but it does not save the link juice of the linking page, it just throws it away.

    I'm back to tell you what went wrong that I had all the internal links="nofollow". I woek with wordpress and the problem was that the access to my site was restricted for the search engines. But now I solved this issue and I'm going back to work :). Thank you for your support.

    They don't help your page rank at all. They're more like a word of mouth technique.
