How to make an iFrame Amazon Banner to open in a new window

Posted in Blogger, Blogging, Featured, Tricks, Tutorial | 25 comments

Most people like their affiliate links to open in a new window, because almost all Affiliate links take the user away from the current site they are visiting, to a new website, where they can make a purchase or place an order. Webmasters often look for ways to make their affiliate links and banners to open in a new window, so the user does not leave their site. As long as the site is open in a background tab in the browser, chances are the user will come back to browse more parts of the website.

Amazon.com

With Affiliate links, it is very easy to make the target page open in a new window as it only requires a bit of HTML code in the “href” tag, which indicates if the link is to open in the same window or a new window when clicked. The HTML code to open a link in a new window uses target=”_blank” attribute. The same code can be used to open clickable images in a new window. However, the code is different when it comes to banner ads and links using javaScript or iFrames, such as Google Adsense and Amazon banners.

If you want your Amazon banner to open in a new window, you will need a slightly different code because Amazon banners use iFrame code, which is different from simple HTML. The attribute target=”_blank” does not work with iFrames; instead, you will have to use <1=_new as part of the “src” section of the code. It should be added to the end of the link code just before the closing apostrophe. An example code taken from bloggertipsandtricks.com is given below:

    LOL. I didn’t know it was this easy. I too would like viewers to stay on my site so they can check out the other pages. The last thing that I want is for them to go directly to the affiliate page, X out of it because they don’t like it, and forget all about my website.
