Okay, While I have my opinion, I am not 100% sure if I am correct or not.

We know that adding rel=nofollow to the 'a href' will cause no value to be passed to the linking site. We also know that robots "nofollow" will cause spiders to not follow a link, BUT will <meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, NOFOLLOW" /> still allow for link value to be passed, or are the links ignored entirely?

I am on the fence as to weather or not the robots version causes any value to be passed over.

Thoughts?

It is unknown whether any PR is passed, but I suspect that it may be, at least a little.

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, NOFOLLOW" />

My understanding is that links on that page would be indexed, however, the robot would not "follow" the page links for further indexing.

So if your homepage.htm has a link to mycars.htm, then mycars.htm itself would be indexed, but anything on mycars.htm (like mychevy.htm or myford.htm) would not.
