    Im am trying to figure out how to have my ads open new windows when someone clicks a link?
    I know some sites do this with success (perezhilton.com) etc and I cant figure it out?

    (I did try searching but vb search function sucks lol)

    if you are talking about adsense ads, then its not allowed as you are not supposed to modify adsense code

    I dont have access to the html tags for the google ads, just my site. Yes the site opens links in a new window, but the ads still do not?

    I dont mind if all my links are opened in a new window on the page. I find it hard to believe that a site that gets such traffic like Perez is going againsts googles TOS.

    Google adsense doesn't allow using codes to open links in another window....
    Dont worry, some people opens every link in another window.... Firefox users mostly ... I am using firefox and I rarely opens links in its own window...

    WOW i didnt know this, you would think perez with his huge traffic to his site wouldnt be breaking the TOS.

    I will figure out another avenue. Thanks!

    Google has different programs for different levels of sites. If your site is pulling MAD TRAFFIC they will work with you to do what is necessary to accommodate the volume.

    I've seen sites that have pages full of Adsense Ads under these tiered programs.

    yes this is disappointing, but i guess we should understand, if a user clicks an ad, the product owner deserves the best possible chance to market his or her product as best they can, and a target="_blank" can be just as useless as a pop up sometimes.
