All Links Open In New Windows To Keep Your Readers On Your Blog

|
I know that many of you want your readers to stick around at your blog for a longer time.

In other words, you want to keep them on your site, to read more of your content and probably click on some of your Adsense ads or affiliate links, right?

Well, here is one way to retain your readers from getting away from your blog, each time they click on any of the hyperlink from your site.

Normally when your reader click on a link, it takes them away from your blog.

What you do is make all links from your blog to open in new windows.

By doing that, you retain your blog in their browsers.

How to get  all hyperlinks from your blog to open in new Window?

1. Go to your Dashboard, click Template, then click Edit HTML to open your template editor. 

2. Next look <head>, which is somewhere on the top area of the template editor.

Note: If you have problem locating it, you press "crtl" key down (without letting it go), you press the letter "F".

You should find a band underneath the template editor with the word "Find:".

Type in <head> in the empty box, and automatically it will highlight <head> in apple green box.

3. Now just add this line below <head> <base target='_blank' />

It looks like this:

<head>
<base target='_blank' />

4. Finally click SAVE TEMPLATE and you are done.

By doing the above mentioned, ALL hyperlinks from your blog, will open in new windows.

As those of you who only want selected hyperlinks to be open in new windows, then what you do is you add this code:

target="_blank" in your selected links.
