I was wondering why you have chosen to redirect people from this site when they click on a review that is off site by not choosing to opn the off site link in a new window?

That make sense?

You may be losing retention of visitors by allowing the link to open in the current window rather than a new one.

agreed. to be honest, i use konqueror and middle click on any hyperlink i click on, so links always open in a new window for me.

anyway, i guess i had just never noticed. iŽll try to have Caj start doing that. thanks for the heads up.

(on a side note, this should be fixed in the next site design)

Ok. I just figured your retention rate may have some boost, even small, just by doing this one thing.

Maybe 0.5% if it's more then woot!

Your welcome.
