I have just started adding some e-junkie affiliate links to my site and I've noticed that this is the target code, target="ejejcsingle", and this doesn't allow a new window to open. I would like to change this to, target="_blank". My question is two fold...



What does "ejejcsingle" mean?



Will it negatively affect my links if I change this?



Thanks for any help anyone here can provide.

From reading another post, am I to understand that changing the target link is OK?

for everyone who googles this target code:

The supportteam answered my mail ( I got the code with target="ejejcsingle". Can I change that to target="_blank"? Otherwise I'm used to change my wordpress options site )

with the following:

Fabian, Yes, you can change that section of code without causing any issue in the way the rest of the code works.



BEST!

In the standard affiliate link code we provide, the target="ejejcsingle" just determines that link should open in a new window/tab, as any target= attribute would typically do.



The difference between this and target="_blank" is that the latter opens a new window every single time any such link is clicked (so even if you click the same link multiple times and never close the new window, you'd spawn yet another new window for each click). Giving the target window a specific name, such as target="ejejcsingle", will open just one new window, and every link with the same target name will load in that same new window. Since all our affiliate links use the same target name, you could have multiple links for various affiliate programs on your page, and all of those links would re-use the same new window while leaving your page open in the original window.
