Make Web Links Open Automatically in New Windows

It's handy to use the tool that WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors give you to make a link open, using highlighted words. It looks neat and professional that way, on your web pages. But it bothered me that the page I was viewing was replaced with the new link's page. Then I have to go back where I was right away, and Right Click to Open in a New Window; or just remember to go back as many as it takes, to get back to the original page I was reading before I clicked a link. Are you with me so far? I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear enough.

Here's an example:
I want to open this link but it replaces my web page, so when I put on my webmaster hat and edit Html, I need to add a couple of words to my links to get them behaving properly...

Instead of open this link
I want target="new">open this link
So add a -space- after the web page destination quote and type target="new" before the bracket. And now you have edited your Html code to make your links act properly.

One more thing - and this is an important one - whatever words you use for the link, make sure the words are keywords, so the search engines index your page in the most optimal way. So now my link will look like this...

So, give your links manners and help them open automatically in a new window for your readers, in case they forget to Right Click for options.
