If you include text links in your content, do you have them open in a new link?
I have never been the type to click ads and if I click a link in content I always manually open it in a new tab so I cannot compare the past to the present. I don't like where I'm reading being lost which is also why I ask.
What do you find more beneficial in the long-term? Say they're reading a paragraph about how a certain chemical helps with this issue and includes a brief passage "which is sold by LINK, a popular company" (not my literal text).
Open in the same tab or new tab? What's most popular nowadays? I'm posting this and searching elsewhere. I'm sure there's multiple opinions.
What about banner ads? These seem almost more suitable for a separate tab/window but again, that's my preference. I'm going to look for data.
This is my first post here. Don't let it make me come off as lazy, asking such a "simple" question because it's really not a simple one. Combined with other decisions it can have a big impact.
I did research this some and there's two basic thoughts. The first is like mine: The user should have control. The second I unfortunately also agree with: External links shouldn't affect the core experience. This is why I'm asking your opinions.
The site aims to provide accurate content. I want the users to trust it and be willing to come back, clicking an ad now and then.
The fact is in the past most of my experience has been directly selling either my own software or via ads directly for others. I've had affiliate accounts for almost 10 years but have made next to nothing with them compared to other things.
Thank you.
