Only Text Link To Merchants By Name?

1 replies
Im currently writing my material for my blog whilst I am finishing my site and I want to link to merchants using text. However if I was looking for a new DVD player and read an article with links I would expect the links for the products to be internal links to that same site. However if said.

"To purchase a Sony 123 DVD Player we recommend Amazon or DVD Players R Us"

I would have no problem clicking a link on the retailer to open a new window to the merchant. I would have a problem if the key term "Sony 123 DVD Player" opened a new window to a mechant.

Is this generally the case?

    I think it really depends on how legitimate your website is. If you have a fairly established presence (people have gone to your website many times before and never had any problems), people will trust you and therefore redirecting links won't be seen as fishy. If you're a new website, it may throw up some red flags for people that they're getting sent to other websites.
