Thread: How do I build an external link on my blog?

I have a blogger blog and am trying to create external links on my post, but they keep on opening on the same browser. Does anybody know the html for this? I remember I did it once on Dreamweaver, but now it feels like ages ago.

Digitalpointsystem

Use this code

<a href="http://www.external-link.com" target="_blank"> Anchor Text </a>

The target attribute tells the system how to open the page.

_blank = New Window
_self = Same Window
_parent = Opens in the parent frame
_top = Opens in the full body of the window

Yes this is right and it works..you have really very good knowledge.

Thanks

I don't think that was the OP's question. Might want to re-read his/her post and look at the answer

Oh, there's a good way to make external links nofollow, without using the nofollow attribute (rel="nofollow"), or in a position when you're unable to manually set it. It's also handy if you really want to make sure that it's nofollow - like when linking to a suspect site or something of the sort. It's not exactly relevant to your question, but it might help somebody else reading this thread.

1. Let's say you're linking to Google. Create a directory in your site called 'out' or 'outgoing' or 'links,' anything like that to help yourself maintain organization. Then create a file in that directory called google.php -- then put this (and only this) in the file:

PHP Code:

<?php
   header( 'Location: http://www.google.com' ) ;
?>

2. Now, to make that entire directory nofollow, edit your robots.txt file and add:
Disallow: /out/ (or whatever you called your directory)

3. Then, whenever you need to make another outgoing link, you can just create another file using the code above!

Clarification: When someone is taken to yoursite.com/out/google.php they will be redirected immediately to Google's website. However, search engines will not follow the link, ensuring that it's nofollow and that none of your PR will be spread. It also helps if you're trying to hide the fact that you're linking to that site.
