Open new window with each click?

Hi. An e-marketing type person told me that if a new page is opened for eack click rather than same window, people tend to navigate away from your site less and view more pages.

Can this be done in pbase?

Thanks

In general, no. When you click on galleries or photos, that html is controlled by Pbase and will open in the same image. If you add some links to your gallery description for example, you can control these and make them open in a new window.

Best regards,

In this age where everyone knows the use of the 'back' button/arrow, that is a strange statement to make. Personally I would navigate away from most pages that force a new window on a click. I know how to open a link in a new window/tab and if I want to do so, I will do it and not be forced do it. I guess I am not one of those 'people' :)

Ditto. I find it very annoying when a site forces a new window (a new tab less so, but still irritating).
