Thank you, Greenguy. What's funny is the reason I put in the target_blanks to begin with is exactly that -- to allow the surfer access to an external link without letting him get away.

You're right, my goal is to keep him focused on my site. It's kind of a delicate balance between keeping the surfer's attention and sharing traffic with your friends/partners. To be honest, when I look at my logs I see very few people clicking the external links anyway. If they're not interested, most people just leave.

I have a re-design coming up shortly, and I'm going to re-think my external links. I'll try submitting again then.

Thanks again, Greenguy. I'm glad this board is here.
