I've been using this module for a few weeks, still learning Drupal myself though one thing that would be cool is... if we had the option to add a rel="NOFOLLOW" to the external links. Is this something we can add in a future version so we can turn it on or off in the Configure UI? I'm in a situation where some External links are out of my control and don't want to be linking into bad neighbourhoods.

Love the module - very handy :)

Hope this is something you'll consider.

Have a look at #1393882: Add rel="external" maybe we can add the functionality at the same time.

Since there is already a module with this functionality I will postpone this change.

External links operates using javascript.

Search engines won't see anything that external links does, because they don't run the javascript.

Axel explained it well at #1393882: Add rel="external"
