Optimizing your Website: Use "target=_blank tag"
Use the "target=_blank" tag when linking to external sites. - This will allow these sites to open in a new page meaning although your visitors are accessing a new site when they close that window they'll be back at your site where they may well continue to browse!
Example:
Instead of
<p><a href="http://www.breastfeedingmums.com/contact-us.htm" title="Breastfeeding Mums - Contact Us">Contact Us</a></p>
use this
<p><a href="http://www.breastfeedingmums.com/contact-us.htm" title="Breastfeeding Mums - Contact Us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Contact Us</a></p>
