There are several options give when creating a link.

The no follow is very good for external links as it plays well with SEO Ratios.

However  since  Goggle counts internal links, it would be an advantage not to have the no follow instruction on internal links... Right now it's all or nothing.

My feature request is to be able to toggle the internal link no follow on or off for internal links. or off all the time would be fine with me.

I am in the process of writing detailed instructions for the module, now that i learned how to use it.

Regards

Ron

Off all the time seems like it would be appropriate. I don't think you can Google bomb your own site.

In order to get a decent page rank you need more incoming links than out going.
My is a community site with thousands of out bound link fro directory's. I just converted then to CCK & Views. So it stopped the outbound links. Unfortuenly I don't get credit for the internal links now.

There are many thing you can do to loose your page rank

I've added the following code to the output process:

  // Remove the rel=nofollow for internal links.
  if ($type != LINK_EXTERNAL && strpos($attributes['rel'], 'nofollow') !== FALSE) {
    $attributes['rel'] = str_replace('nofollow', '', $attributes['rel']);
    if (empty($attributes['rel'])) {
      unset($attributes['rel']);
    }
  }

So rel=nofollow is only added to external links.
