links sending viewer off sight

Post by justintime »

Not sure if the site builders know, but maybe rather than when a viewer clicks on a banner ( paid advertisement)and they leave this site.
just might be better to add target="_blank"

This can all be done in your header.php or footer.php

for example now you have this as the link for wmdoll.com
<a href="http//wmdolls.com/en/">paid advertisement image

If you do this it will not take the viewer off site, it will open in a new window.
<a href="http//wmdolls.com/en/" target="_blank">paid advertisement image

Of course a viewer can right click and open in new tab or new window.
Just a better design to never send a viewer off sight. web design 101

When I click a banner, it opens in a new tab.
This is my dollalbum, My (identical) twinsister Kim has her own album. We also have our own thread in the 4Woods subforum where we post our pics.

We had another sister Annika, her album also has a lot of pics of me.

The external site links in the banner ads have been changed so they all open in a new window.
