    Search for SEO Smart links plugin from Prelovac. I have tested it and works brilliantly.
    It will allow you to put rel="nofollow" and target="_blank" to the links.

    For those who don't know, target blank will make the link open in new tab/window (depending on browser) while the current window stays untouched.

    1. Click on the HTML view of your WP post/page.
    2. Select the link which you want to be nofollowed.
    3. Just before the attribute within the double quotes in the href tag ends, add this line - rel="nofollow"
    4. Thats it. Publish your post/page and the external link will be nofollowed.

    Uncle Sam I don't want to do that to all of my external links cause it'll end up being time consuming. What I needed was a plugin to make all external links to have nofollow tag
