9. Look for f=ifr& in the code and add lt1=_blank& to the end of it (f=ifr&lt1=_blank&). It will look like the below before and after you make the change.

Sometimes you may notice your code looks a little different, with extra amp; occurring after every & ... in this case f=ifr& becomes f=ifr&lt1=_blank&

By the way, in my testing of this second scenario f=ifr&lt1=_blank& and f=ifr&lt1=_blank&; also worked. Go figure.


For clarity the text you are adding lt1=_blank is

lowercase "L" + "t" + number one + equal sign + underscore + word "blank".


Note on JavaScript Code (the 'JS' option):

As I understand it, Amazon's JavaScript banners have no parameter to tell it to open in a new tab or window. So, even if you were to defined your own, it won't know what to do with it.

I've seen a number of ways of supposedly doing this but none have worked, there is also the <1=_new method but this doesn't work either. it would be good to get a solution to this as it's not ideal having banners that just draw visitors away from our sites.

I did however notice in the code of a product I set up today the line: "&link_opens_in_new_window=true&", not sure if it may spark a few ideas, I've played with it but to no avail so far.

I was never able to solve the issue, so I just removed amazon from my sidebar.
One comment I received was that the purpose of our websites is to make money, and if someone goes to Amazon through our website, maybe it's not such a bad thing, as they may purchase stuff!
Best of luck :-)

Can somebody help me with this? I understand everything up to step eight, but step nine lost me. My article pages have nothing like she is describing,. Where exactly do I paste the code?

I don't know what she's trying to do with Step 9 (Amazon links always opens in a new tab anyway). You just need to be able to copy the entire Amazon code, and paste it in the TEXT tab of your post (you have a Visual and a Text tab when you're editing your post). I think I just answered this to you in another thread, if you have more problems, you can PM me.

Michelle,
I did exactly what you said.
The thing is that I use an Amazon banner that changes and actually has 2 ads. Sometimes it shows ad number 1 and sometimes it shows ad number 2.
After I did exactly what you said the result was: ad number 1 opens in a new window while ad number 2 still opens in the same window.
Why is that? And how can I fix it?
Thanks a lot,
Daniel

Never tried an ad like that. Send me the code and I'll see if I can figure it out.
