<a href="http://..."; target="_blank">...</a>

Remember that

* many users (especially the more experienced ones) don't like it when a
  website unintentionally opens another window or tab
* it's a common misconception that you can "keep" users on your site by
  opening external links in a new window
* it's invalid in all strict markup standards, which are preferred for
  new sites
* just indicating external links with a little icon is usually the
  better and more userfriendly way (easy to do with CSS)
