    rel="external":
    The browsers will treat the link as an external link (may or may not open link in new window). Search engines treat this as a normal link.

    rel="external nofollow":
    Same as above, except search engines do not credit the page being linked to (i.e. this link does not pass PR).

    rel="nofollow":
    Search engines do not credit the page being linked to.
