Hi guys,

we have a blog. The theme is swift. there is default ad placing space. Have ads too. But the thing is while clicking on the ads it simply navigate to the sites. Could you please tell where we have to edit it ( to add target='blank') for make it open in a new window.?

Many thanks

blog platform wordpress
theme swift
blog url - <removed>

you'll see the link code.. <a href="http://whatever.com"></a> , add the target after the url - <a href="http://whatever.com" target="_blank">

target is a deprecated attribute UNLESS you are using frames AND the T&C of most advertisers expressly forbid opening the ads in new windows.

Opening new windows is also really bad for accessibility too, it's best you don't do it at all.

Hi friends,

may be it is wrong, but just because of this issue, users navigating away from the blog while clicking these ads..

Ad Behavior

AdSense code may not be altered, nor may the standard behavior, targeting or delivery of ads be manipulated in any way that is not explicitly permitted by Google. For instance, clicking Google ads may not result in a new browser window being launched.

Hi chrishirst. Thanks for your help. But these are not adsense ads. You can see the 125X125 banner ads in the site. Which am getting with personal contacts. And I have edited the code and its working now..
