Does opening a page with target=_blank cause bounce?

[BeytzNet]

Hi,

When I open an internal page with target=_blank (for example taking people from our store to our blog) it may cause a session timeout on the store page (assuming they stay on the blog and don't come back).

Does that cause a bounce? Does that mean that the store's page just became the  "Exit" page?

Thanks

Hi,

A quick question to be sure we're able to answer your question: are the blog and the store on the same root domain? Or do they have their own subdomain?

Thanks.

Yes they are:

www.domain.com
www.domain.com/blog

However, it was just an example.
Also, in my main category page when people go to the category wiki (info page) I open a new tab in order not to completely take them out of the buying page.

Thanks
