Pop up blockers - GoFuckYourself.com

I am brushing up on my Advertising Skills
and came across this paragraph

"Another thing to mention too, would be the target of these links. I heard quite a bit information about the decreasing conversion rates for links that open up in new windows (target="_blank") because of the increasing popularity in "popup-blocker" applications."

Is this true?
