So you are opening all links in new windows except ones on same domain?

Linking within' the site I open in same window, aff links I generally always use target="_blank" with the thinking the surfer will return to my site, particularly with respect to links within' articles. If a surfer does not set his preferences, most browsers are set to open in tabs, which to some degree I view as being the same window. I guess the question is how many surfers actually set their preferences?

Yes, which is why you have to put in your domain (for any hard coded links)
