Blogging Tip: How to keep your visitors stay on your blog
Good content can keep your visitors on your blog, that is one. There is also another way, and that is to let them open a new tab if they click a link in it. Is it hard to do? No.
Usually in Blogger, we add target="_blank" in the link code <a href="http://coolbusteratyourservice.blogspot.com/">Coolbuster</a> to open a new tab, which should read as:
<a href="http://coolbusteratyourservice.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Coolbuster</a>
<p>Here's a <a href="http://coolbusteratyourservice.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blow out!</a>.</p>
Both ways can be taxing since you have to add one by one for your links.
The simplest way is to add this tag: <base target='_blank'/>. How?
Sign in to your Blogger account and then go to Layout > Edit HTML and a few lines after the <head> section, add the following tag:

Save your template. Once your visitor clicks a link in your blog even if it sends him to another site, yours will stay. If he clicks a link to your other post, that will count as another page view! Try it and see what happens.
Unfortunately, this tag is not applicable for blogs with the multi-tab widget like mine in the right sidebar. I found out that clicking a tab in the widget will open a blank page hence, the tabs will be disabled. I have not known a workaround on this problem.
That's it. Feel free to comment if I missed something so I can fix it.
