That’s a great idea to automate it in some way @maique! Currently you’re correct — there’s no way to do this at the moment because Write.as adds `rel=nofollow` to links by default. @matt outlines the reasons in this forum post: > [@Write.as adds nofollow (rel=nofollow) to all links in posts by Pro accounts](https://discuss.write.as/t/write-as-adds-nofollow-rel-nofollow-to-all-links-in-posts-by-pro-accounts/830/8): > > This is added in Write.as / WF to prevent instances from having their search rankings ruined by spammers. A common thing spammers will do is utilize a domain with high search authority to link back to their low-quality domains and boost their rankings. Adding nofollow prevents that, letting Google et al. know that they shouldn’t consider the WF instance linking to their sites as an endorsement.
