External urls

If there are external urls on your website and you want to followed or indexed by search engine. 

There are two parameters; "index" and "follow".

"Index" refers to whether or not you want that particular page to be indexed.  


"Follow" refers to whether or not you want the spider to follow the links on that page.

You would decide whether you wanted the page indexed, and whether you wanted the links followed. Based on that decision, you would chose one of the above options

 This is very important for SEO. 

eg: http://sitejabber.com is a external link on your website, then in html of the link.

<a href="http://sitejabber.com" rel=" noindex , nofollow" target="_blank">Click here</a>

or 

<a href="http://sitejabber.com" rel="index , nofollow" target="_blank">Click here</a>
