Do You Still Get PageRank From Links That Open In A New Window?

Posted on May 7, 2010 in Blog | 3 comments

I have had a few people asking if you have a link that is target=”_blank” will it still pass pagerank?

This is a great question, I have never thought about this and it has never dome up before. I would have to say yes it will still pass pagerank.

As long as the link is a follow link you should have no problem because the Google bot can still crawl the link and therefore still able to pass the PageRank to the other page.
