Sometimes our affiliate banners and links redirect (leave our sites and open in the same window) instead of opening a new window. Of course, we don't want visitors to be whisked away from our sites.

The solution is simple: add this bit of html code to your affiliate link or banner:

Place it after the href closing quote mark and just before the > and the <img

Happy affiliate marketing!

Thanks Chad, and Jay.

I know how to do that with affiliate, content, and product links, but does anyone know how to make a plugin, when clicked, open in a new window?

Good advice. I think you're missing something though. The bit of code you should add to the link:

target="_blank"

You're right, Jay! I've tried to edit to add it, but it disappears! I'll try again.

yes that is the KEY part of the html alteration

Thanks Chad! As you know, I ran across this challenge myself recently. Appreciate the info!

Oops! The html snippet to add is target="_blank"
