Thanks for the reply Greenguy.

Anyway ... I was reffering to a whole domain which main source of traffic would be SEs. So ... lets say I have a page where I put about 10 links to different sponsor paysites and I use target="_blank" for each one. I've been talking with some guys but they weren't able to prove any positive / negative fact of using target="_blank".

Some said that if you use it ... surfers will tend to click more than 1 link and they'll see enough free content ( pictures, trailers etc. ) and they wont buy.

Some said that a surfer click 1st link and he doesn't like what he se, he may click the second link and if he finds what he likes he may buy a membership.

More feedback welcome
