target="_blank" means that your link will open in a new browser window (so that the page upon which the link appears stays open).

I see target="_self" on affiliate banner code sometimes, it means (I believe) that the link will open in the same window (so that the page upon which the link appears is replaced by the target URL)

title and alt tags are entirely different, they simply reflect how the author chooses to describe their picture and have no bearing on "_blank" or "_self" targets.

I'd really recommend that you use www.w3schools.com as a resource, that site provides really clear descriptions of different aspects of html code and you can try them out for yourself as well.

JesseQuinn is correct about the target attribute.

As for the title attribute, that contains the text that will be displayed when a user hovers over the element - useful if you want to describe what a particular button or link does.

The alt attribute contains the text that will be displayed while an element loads or in the event that an element does not load. You should use alt tags on images so that users know what a particular image is for as it loads (and in the event that it doesn't).
