Default Using New Windows or The Same for links, advice please

A couple of webmasters whom I respect, have advised me to switch all my outgoing links back to "same window" rather than use the "new window" feature I was rather pleased with in my serif web 9 software.

I've done it now and hopefully will make better friends with Google as a result, but do you experts think there is anything in this? I've tried to search for web help on this but cannot find any reference.

Yet my pals are not nuts.

I'd be interested in what you think.

As far as i know link targets have no effect on SEO.

What was the reason they gave for claiming links should be opened in the same window?

They didn't really, but each said the same thing and they live in different countries not knowing each other.

Probably nonsense.

I will have to agree with this. I have not heard about any changes in your ranking because of a target link.
