Squidoo and nofollow links

How do I get my links on my squidoo lenses to be dofollow?

I know with hub pages you need a certain hub score and author score but I'm not sure how it works with Squidoo lenses.

I've created 2 lenses so far and have put the hyperlinks in manually, without the nofollow attribute obviously, however when I check the links using a nofollow/dofollow highlighter they show up as nofollow.

I searched for this topic on here but couldn't find it covered anywhere, I also found a lot of conflicting information on google.

    Hmm that's weird. My links from Squidoo are always dofollow. Never heard of them putting nofollow on links actually. Have you checked the actual source code? Maybe the "highlighter" is wrong?

      They made some changes in the past few months.

      You have to have a 200+ character intro paragraph,
      complete with photo/picture.

      They also want multiple modules to be filled. I forgot how
      many, but they give you your progress.

      If they deem your lens spam, they will pull the plug on
      any link juice. Add content and modules.

      They only allow 9 links on a lens to the same domain. You
      can get around this by using the big picture with a link. These
      don't count for the 9.

      You can also use a url shortener.

      Bottom line, add modules and content. Increase your squidoo
      rank as well. The higher you go, it seems the more trusted you
      are. Giant squids have perks as well.

      When doing a new lens, pump up the views a little bit to prime the pump.
