When you select Tell search engines to ignore this link, the nofollow attribute will be added to the link, and it looks like this in your page's code:

Most search engines find new web pages by crawling the published sites' links.

"Most of our Search index is built through the work of software known as crawlers. These automatically visit publicly accessible webpages and follow links on those pages, much like you would if you were browsing content on the web. They go from page to page and store information about what they find on these pages and other publicly-accessible content in Google's Search index."

The nofollow attribute is recommended to use when you don't want to associate your site with an external page.
