Hi all,

I have two questions;

1. When you are marketing a number of external sites should you have them open in another window so that your site remains?

2. Is it better to give them a link directly to the join page or should they be allowed to view the site themselves? Would the answer to this be different for the homepage than on the detailed review page?

Yes, but with the number of browsers blocking popups, some of them can mistake it for a popup. You can put a notice on the link, or somewhere on your page, about the page opening in a new window and that they can right-click and choose open in new window or disable their popup blocker if it is closing the window.

I'm not certain that I understood that question. What is it that would be different on the pages to which you can send them, and can they join from either page? You usually want to send a visitor to an affiliate page which grabs their attention or otherwise gives them a reason to click further. If you have advertised an individual product, then you would want to send them to that product's page; nothing will irritate someone more than clicking to find out about a specific product, then having to search it out on an affiliate site or put up with constant ads for something else other than that in which they were seeking (that is what banners and sidebars are for).

it's logical to me to open external links in new windows and internal sites in same window. We had similar discussion somewhere on forum, can't find it right now but from what I remember most people use similar scheme.

I believe it would be fair to let them examine site first.

I agree with SensoVision on both questions.
