You're welcome Mike

Timing is everything JarieLyn!

Agree Nick, where it is appropriate is the main word not just for the sake of having it.

You're like a chef of internal links! Sprinkle away!

Absolutely Andre! :-)

You're damn right there Jay, and I do (when appropriate of course) !! :-)

👍👍

Cheers

👍🍻👍🍻

Thanks Brian,

There is no SEO benefit (i.e. might add to your analytics) to opening internal links in a new tab.

I echo Andres' response. I also noted that you did not apply advanced settings to open in another tab. Was this intentional?

Michael

Good point Michael I always open in another tab that way they stay on the site and also have the original post there as well

Thanks

Andre

I prefer to open in an additional tab to grant them the opportunity to continue reading the original post without using the back button. People lose interest when you make them work. lol

Michael

True that is why it is important, I feel to have both tabs open otherwise, if they go to the other link directly without it being open this way they most likely will not come back to the original post.
Especially if they haven't read the rest of the original post

Andre

Hi Andre,

Your comment about bold the words brings up a good question and the answer is here! Is There An SEO Benefit to Bold Internal Links?

I keep all internal links in the same tab as I prefer that.

Thanks Jay and appreciated you responding back as well.
I saw the new video but was not talking about SEO benefits just why don't you bold the links so they stand out more.
Guess that is up to the individual, and yes bolding may not have SEO benefits, but they do stand out more to entice the reader to click.

In the end individual's choice and I respect that.

Thanks again

Great, Thanks Jay
