    if I add the following line to the head of all my pages:
    <Meta name="Robots" Content="Nofollow">

    Will the Google ignore all links? or ignore only outer links?

    thanks!

    Sorry, seems I placed wrong place...

    No it is not the wrong place. Here is your answer:

    <Meta name="robots" Content="nofollow"> is just telling everything is no follow.

    Now if you want the index to be searched from robots but not the links on the page use this code:

    <meta name="ROBOTS" content="index,nofollow">

    That basically says, "index the page, but do not proceed to the links from the page."

    it's an easy way to add rel="nofollow" to the link that you want google to ignore. dont use the meta tags
