    Internal links are links that belong to the same domain. And external links are links which don't belong to the current domain.

    For example: You have a page http://example.com/page1.html , and you have linked to another page of the same domain http://example.com/page2.html . They are internal links, because they belong to the same website.

    External link: You have a page http://example.com/page1.html and you have a link on it which points to http://test.com/sample.html - In this case the pages belong to different domains/websites, so you can call http://test.com/sample.html as an external link . Hope its clear.

    Or

    Internal links are links that point you to areas within your internet site, and external links are links that point you to other websites. Hope this helps.

    The external links are what you most need to worry about when it comes it SEO, the more that point to you the better.Internal links are also good because they allow a bot to index you page. Try and have some text link and point them deep into your site.
