Everyone
is worried about how to reduce bounce rate of your blog / website since
bounce rate is very important factor to increase your page rank (To
know what is bounce rate click here). The lower the bounce rate the higher the page rank. Target=’_blank’ plays very important role in reducing / decreasing bounce rate.
LOL...don't look at me like that...I'm not talking dirty :-) Using target=’_blank’ in the anchor tag opens the target link in the new window, this is desired for 2 important reasons.
1) Visitor still on page of your website / blog. So that visitor do not need to navigate back to come back to your page.
2) It also helps decreasing / reducing bounce rate of your website / blog.
If you are involved in increasing your SEO (Search
Engine Optimization), the bounce rate on an entry page can help to
determine how effective it is at grabbing people's attention. Bounce
rate is only an SEO factor to improve page rank of your blog or site /
blog which is involved with commerce. If your blog / site is just
providing information or news than bounce rate is not an important
factor for you.
Example of setting target=’_blank’ for out going links
<a href="URL " target="_blank"> Link Text </a>
<a href=’http://jokes-tejash.blogspot.com’ target=’_blank’ > Latest Jokes </a>
If you want to add the link for the image which should open in new window then you can do it similarly as follows:
<a href="URL Link" target="_blank"> <img src='Image URL'/> </a>
<a
href=’http://jokes-tejash.blogspot.com’ target=’_blank’ > <img
src='http://www.example.com/example.jpg'/> </a>
