Hi
What is the difference between internal links and external links and which one is important to improve our site rank ?

[VladTepes]

External link has better influence on site PR while good internal linking helps to index and rank other parts of the site.

Well optimized internal linking will give better indexing to the site and provide navigational information to the users while external linking provide quality backlinks form other related and authority sites that will pass on pr rankings of the main site.

External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source).External Links is a small module used to differentiate between internal and external links.
External links should point to primary sources. For example:
1-The official tourist office or government web site for a destination
2- The official web site for a hotel
3-The official web site for a restaurant or bar
