How simple, yet so elegant: "answer the damn question!" in effect... I used to do just that very thing -- check (103bees and/or G Analytics) for incoming search terms, and write a simple post in direct response. It worked a charm. Can't think why I stopped doing it -- so thanks very much for the nudge!</p> I love this.

I think it's more confusing to a non-tech person when they look for the back button and it's grayed out. About the only thing I will open in a new window is a pdf file, and visitors will be warned there will be a new window. </p> <p>I do think your recommendation of deep linking to related posts in your blog is the best advice on how to keep visitors on your site. Or at the very least use a related posts plugin, for those on WordPress. </p> <p>Great article with great advice.</p> I’m with engtech.

I do think your recommendation of deep linking to related posts in your blog is the best advice on how to keep visitors on your site. Or at the very least use a related posts plugin, for those on WordPress.

Great article with great advice.

If you know you have a technologically sophisticated readership, I would agree, but for a general audience I don’t personally think it’s good advice.

Every good web design guide and web usability guide will recommend not using the _blank tag because it takes control away from the user.

If they want a new tab, they can middle click.
