Don't lose your readers!!!

Do you know the top three things all bloggers need?

Traffic. Traffic. And more traffic.

So when you do get that traffic, don't do something that will cause you to lose that reader.

What shouldn't you do? Don't entice your reader with an advertisement or link that does not open in a new page.

You know those ads....you visit a site, find an interesting link/ad, click on it, read it and then....ohmigosh...where were you to begin with? Where did that interesting site go? How many times to I have to click on Back, Back, Back.....

There is a very easy way to make sure all of your links open in a new window. You need to add a very small amount of code to the html for your links and advertisements.

Take a look at the html code for your widgets and links. They probably all follow a similar format, starting with:

a href="http://www.xxxxx.com/" (with a <> on the other side)

After the second ", between the " and the >, add

target="_blank"

So it looks like

a href="http://www.xxxxx.com/" target="_blank" >

This 'tells' the site http://www.xxxxx.com/ to open in a new window.
