    Making links open in a new window is a simple strategy you can use to reduce unnecessary loss of visitors to outbound links. When the visitor clicks on a link, instead of the new page being loaded into the current browser window, with the addition of a small piece of HMTL code in the link itself, you can have a completely new window open with that page instead.

    Why would you want to do that?

    Because it means the window displaying the original page on your site will remain in the background. And this entices the visitor to continue where they left off should they find the new site to be of little interest to them.

    For this to work, all you need to do is add the code 'target="_blank"' to the links in your HTML source like this:

    <a href="http://www.NowSell.com">

    becomes

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


    There you go...
