Classified ads are …
Classified ads are another effective for selling products and services. While they are not all free, there are some places on the Internet where you can post them at no cost to you. Take advantage of this and post ads that were designed with selling in mind. Remember to be persuasive without being pushy so as to gently urge others to go to your site and take advantage of what you have to offer right away.

Lets go back to …
Lets go back to your example to simplify things. You told the robot to go follow the [title] link. then a few lines down you tell it NOT to follow that same link. The robots does not start following links before it reads the whole page. When its done reading, it has to decide whether to follow that link or not. Due to the conflicting instructions on the same page, Google tries to be on the safe side and NOT follow that link. Again it may follow it from another page but not from this one.

1st time i have heard where Google will ignore BOTH links if they go to the same place. I thought they would only ignore 1 not both.

I’m also writing about the nofollow link attribute not using meta tags or robots.txt

Again: If …
Again: If instructive values conflict, Googlebot will use the most restrictive. if both these value pairs are in a page.

INDEX & NOINDEX
FOLLOW & NOFOLLOW
ARCHIVE & NOARCHIVE

Googlebot will always respect the more restrictive (NO) to be on the safe side.

As for which link comes first, that not relevant when looking at how the robot follows instructions. When following instructions googlebot looks at the whole.

But, which link comes first may be relevant when calculating Pagerank.

not sure i agree with that.

Google follows the first link but never heard they ignore both links if they lead to the same place.

If the [read more.. ...
If the [read more...] and the [title] lead to the same location then Google would follow neither.

The title says follow (or it says nothing at all) while the [read more...] says nofollow for the same url on the same page, Googlebot would respect the latter (more restrictive), but may follow the nofollow url from another location unless it is restricted in the robots.txt file at the root of your site.
