The Dilemma Experienced by WordPress Bloggers Has a New Solution

It’s no secret that a better search engine ranking can drive more traffic to a webpage and thus is proportional to more customers and more purchases. However, a conflict of interest can challenge this. By linking to other webpages, sites provide useful content for its viewers who are therefore more likely to spend time browsing. The problem is that previously, when a user found a link that captured their interest, they would navigate away from the original site, and sometimes not return. This would, in turn decrease the amount of time spent on the blog and thus take away from a potentially high search engine ranking.

A unique and simple solution to this problem has been created for WordPress by adding a specific code to the HTML tag, which users click. Rather than loading the new page in the existing window, the target=”_blank” attribute will force a new tab to open with the desired link. The result- the original page is still running in the background while also not interrupting the users viewing of the new link.

The Growing Popularity of WordPress Links

The new WP Links plugin saw a spike in popularity earlier this month and has drawn exceptional ratings from users. This is likely due to its relative simplicity and ease of use.
