Requires at least: 2.6
Tested up to: 2.7.1
Stable tag: 2.0
Mask all external links - make them internal or hide. On your own posts, comments pages, authors page - no more PR\CY dropping!

== Description ==

Mask all external links to internal! In your own posts, comments pages, authors page... It does not change anything or write to base - just processes output.

Now you don't need to worry about your page rank or index, dropping because of spam bots. You write any kind of http link - and it becomes internal or hidden! You can configure plugin to work with your own posts, pages comments and authors's profiles. Of cause, the link will still be usable :).

####NEW!!!!!
Now you can also disable link rewriting, and use "rel=nofollow" and <noindex> tag instead of it - everything as you wish!   
Also in version 2.0 you can make all links open ine new window!   
Also, after many requests, I finally made an option to disable masking for concrete URLs and posts.  
Also, plugin works now without any magic with .htacess - you just install it and it works, and determines itself, if you need to rewrite permalinks, or use default link structure.  
Have fun!

####Example

In short, your links like "http://gmail.com" will be masked into  
"http://YourBlog.com/goto/http://gmail.com" - or  
"http://YourBlog.com?goto=http://gmail.com"

Also you can add <b>rel=nofollow</b> attribute, <b>&lt;noindex&gt;</b> tag, and <b>target="_blank"</b> to your links!
