Linking to other websites or blogs
Link to other blogs
The Internet is made up of hyperlinks. That is how people will find your website or blog is through a hyperlink. I’ve just discovered in WordPress the Blogroll feature. This allows you to easily link to other blogs.
How to correctly link to an external web page
If you are linking to an external web page, the best way to do this is to display the external link in a new browser window. This will save clicking the back button to return previous website.
So to create a link to an external web page include: target=”_blank” in your HTML.
An example:
<a href=”http://www.atmmultimedia.com/” target=”_blank”>Web Design Lincolnshire</a>
As you can see that the target term is set to blank.
You will be surprised of how many websites don’t use this technique. This really bugs me and especially if I want to return to the previous web page.
Do you link to external sites using this method?

I always target=”_blank”.
Because this will keep your visitor with you :)
And also if you don’t want give them benefits you can use rel=Nofollow too.
