    As a super affiliate, I hate it when people leave my my blog & not come back again! So what I do is - make sure that ALL external links must be opened in a new browser or window.

    How do I make the links on my comments open in a new browser? Rather than just telling me to go edit my comments.php, let me know which part of the code should I edit & what EXACTLY should I edit.

    Thank you so much.....

    There is a plugin called External Links, basically it you can set the options so all url's that point outside your blog will open up in a new window.

    Good Luck

    Not that you are asking but I thought I would share anyway.....sites that force links to open in a new window are sites I typically do not go back to very often unless the content blows me away.

    So by trying to prevent people from leaving your site, you could very well be encouraging some people never to come back. Just something to think about.
