The link rel = "external" are SEO friendly


Some time ago we see how widespread the use of bonds rel = "external" in wordpress. I have read many comments about how if a new Google tag equivalent to the rel = "nofollow", other than if it spreads PageRank but no value for Google, etc ...
Actually it's much easier is a new feature introduced in WordPress to load the updates target = "_blank" on all links that carry the rel = "external" as shown by the piece of code from WordPress :
externalLinks function () { 
if (document.getElementsByTagName) return; 
var anchors = document.getElementsByTagName ("a") 
for (var i = 0; i 
var anchor = anchors [i] 
if (anchor.getAttribute ("href ") & & 
anchor.getAttribute ("rel") == "external") 
anchor.target = "_blank"; 


window.onload = externalLinks;
This makes it very easy to make all links load in a new browser page and we close our blog, but as you can see, this has nothing to do with SEO and Google ... but there is something positive and thinking is that this tag is like a rel = "nofollow" most webmasters and bloggers / as make use only of the rel = "external" in their comments so we can take advantage of this neglect to place links in the comments manuals ... that Yes, provided that you put the content is original, is now highly penalized to the copied text.
