    Whats the difference between re="nofollow" and rel="external nofollow". Which one to use?

    they're both essentially the same...not much of a difference really. "external" just tells search engines that it's not an internal link.

    As mentioned by fsmedia, both have the same effect :)

    Just use anyone of them.
