Webmasters - don't lose your visitors

All over the web we can find many tips how to get more visitors to your website. But there are one thing that can make things better.

Many sites lose their visitors because of one little html attribute. This is "target" attribute of your hyperlinks. Yes, it's very-very important. I saw this on many sites, some outer link (that points to other domain, or banner) opens in the same window, that's all. What is probability of "Back" button hit? Specially if user interesting in that resource too? That's why AdSence make me sad, we are losing visitors for cents. And visitors annoyed too. For example, I'm reading some blog, and I see interesting banner. I'm clicking and reading 5-6 pages there, and want to get back...

The same for any external links on you site. You want to "Kick it" or something like this in the same window?

So, when you are thinking about serious things like linkbuilding and seo, think about your links first, maybe you just doing something wrong?

Better to use <a target="_blank" ... to open everything in new window.
