Personal Note About Links Opening in New Window/Tab
I guess I am still trying to figure out why when I go to so many Websites that want feedback, I find many of them with Affiliate Links that do not open in New Window/Tab. I guess I question this because Kyle mentions or advises that we have our Links open in New Window in https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/online-entrepreneur-certification-making-money-level-3/adding-affiliate-links-to-your-pages/ Some say they do not know how when all it takes is check the little box right below Title when adding Links to Page or Post. I am afraid many fail to do so from being in too big of a hurry, or because there is so much to learn that it is easy to miss a step. Just my opinion. I can only hope that those who do not make it easy for people to get back to the page they clicked on Links at do not cost themselves Traffic. I want everyone to Succeed, but just hope everyone that I miss giving feedback to that don't have their Links open in New Window will start start doing so for everyone's benefit both theirs and their traffic.
Thanks For Reading,
Michael

This is an excellent reminder to pay attention to the small details, Michael. Thanks so much. The reasoning that I understood in this little technique is so that if you are sending someone to another site through an affiliate link, then they don't lose your original site on their main page.
spektr, Nice information on Website. I left comment on website. Nice you have links open in new page. I would suggest adding color or image to your background to help give more life so to speak to your Site. Just a thought!

For some newbies, the whole process can be very overwhelming and I think they may just overlook the check box because there are so many things to 'check' when posting an article. I know I felt that way at first. Regular reminders of the simple steps are helpful - thanks!
Good point
The only thing I would say when to not have the links open to a new window/tab, is when you want readers to stay on your site/or you are internally linking your pages.
Thanks for the comment. I agree on not having Pages open in New Window! Affiliate Links are the ones I prefer on new pages the most.
