    Hi All
    I have question in my mind whether the target attribute in anchor tag has any relation with Seo...? or not...?
    target="_blank" this is the coding we use but if we use this one target=" _blank" means space then underscore and then blank is there any difference or not...?

    If there is an SEO relation in this Attribute then only that when your visitor click on your websites outbound link it will be open in a new window and your visitor will be still on your website. thats it

    There is not any such relation between SEO and target attribute. We use target=" _blank" with the link so that a user can visit the page without leaving main website.

    SEO is related to title and rel attribute, not with target attribute. Target just indicates where you want to open the link - in the same page or new window.

    Target attribute does NOT affect SEO. The link will be treated the same by the search engine regardless of the value of the target attribute.
