How to open it in a new window

[alexcl]

I have a site iExpat.cn - iExpat.cn is for Shanghai Expat , and added several google adsense blocks on my site. Here I have a question, how can it open a new window when people click on the adsense link?

Thanks.

Is your site so bad, that you are afraid they won't come back to your site?

Not possible

You can do it although it won't be pretty.

1. Make sure the iFrame(s) used to hold the ads are fully loaded.
2. Iterate through the iFrames on the page looking for the Adsense iFrame(s).
3. Iterate through the links in each Adsense iFrame and add/change the target="_blank" attribute/value to each one.

Currently the ad links are set to target=_top which means that it should break out of the iFrame and load in the main window but when you set target="_blank", that should be overwritten and cause the ad to be loaded in entirely new window.

At least in theory that should work.

Also, I don't think it would violate Adsense Terms of Service but I'm not sure and you would definitely want to verify for yourself before trying something like this.

Do not change the Google code to open the link in a new window. That is definitely against their rules (when all else fails, read the instructions.......etc.) and they can drop you from the program.

In addition to reading this in their rules I actually asked them about it and was told definitely NO.

Good luck.

No worries, I moved it. Cheers, MJ

Opening links in new browser windows is also against W3C standards, not that Google care much for such things.

Why would you put outgoing links on your site, if you are trying to keep people on your site?

I use PHPAdsNew to manage all ads including Google adsense on all my sites. It is simple to make the ads open in new windows but it is against Google adsense rules as someone already said.
