When to Create a "New Window" Link
I suggest using this technique only when there's a special purpose or reason.
If you do this with every link on your site, your visitors will get frustrated quickly with the new windows opening and may leave your site completely. |
Also, each time your visitor is going to open up a new window, let him know beforehand - give him a warning. Anytime you do something "out of the ordinary" on your site, tell your visitor what's going to happen. This will help prevent unwanted surprises.
You can add in parentheses beside or below your link a statement similar to this:
(Clicking on this link will open up a new browser window.)
THE CODE:
Insert the following code into your web page html where you would like the link to appear:
---
TARGET="_blank">Your Link
---
You will insert the link address you want to open up in a new window where you see the web address sample above:
"http://www.yourdomain.com/"
Next, where it states "Your Link", this is where you'll type your link text.
For example:
Click Here for More Information
...or Click Here to Read Additional Testimonials
Adding this feature of opening a web page in new windows to sections of your website will not only open up new windows, but new opportunities and potential for your site as well. This technique, if used wisely, can be a valuable addition to your website.
