Hello. I'm new, and anytime I link to something outside of my hub, ie, a photo on another website, I don't see the option to open the link in a separate window, which I think is common on most sites and probably a good thing to do on hubpages, so people don't inadvertantly leave the site. Is there a way to do it? Thanks.

No prob I make all my links open in new tabs each one of them.

Earlier I posted that people should go and make links going to other sites that do not belong to you nofollow. Then someone mentioned that if your hubber score is less than 85 then "every link" will be nofollow. But this is not what HubPages says. HubPages says:"If your HubberScore...

What are the effects of having the exact same outbound link in everyone of your hubs say to your blog or website? Does it hurt hubscore.
