Good news, got an email back from Bill McRea and he wasn’t aware the WordPress developer had used Talian 05 backend for his new Passive Income WordPress Theme. He’d hired someone to create a new theme with the functionality of Talian 05 (which anyone can do if they have the PHP/WordPress skills), not hire someone to create a theme using copyright material from Talian 05. He’s removed the Passive Income WordPress Theme from sale, so happy with the result. Original Passive Income WordPress Theme by Bill McRea Review Looks like Bill McRea (author of Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin that a lot of Talian 05 customers use) has used the backend of version 5 of my Talian 5 AdSense theme […]

Wow I can’t believe this. I too bought your theme because Bill recommended it. I didn’t know he redid the coding and created his own theme and started selling it. That’s just crazy
Bill McRea Massive Passive Profits
Hi David, I was reading some comments and it is sad what Bill McRea but my best wishes for prosperity is to you I hope that is not a deterrent to proceed with all projects are many who follow his work.
we have purchased talian5 also receive stallion-theme, if this plugin will continue to work massive passive profits
WordPress Passive Income Theme
The banners with the Talian 5 theme are mostly copyright my wife (probably about 90% are created by my wife from her photographs: she’s an amateur photographer).
If you bought Talian 5 from this website you won’t have any problems, by purchasing Talian 5 (from me) you can use the banners on your own websites in association with Talian 5.
There is/was another theme that Bill McRea had made called the Passive Income Theme and the person he paid to make the theme used banners from the Talian 5 theme which is a copyright infringement as described above.
After I informed Bill McRea of the issue (he wasn’t aware the theme developer basically copied Talian 5 and gave it a different front end) he immediately removed the Passive Income theme from sale.
I’m happy with the outcome.
Bill McRea hadn’t started promoting the Passive Income theme so doubt many copies were sold, so though there’s probably a small number of webmasters running the Passive Income theme and infringing copyright material it’s not going to become a big issue.
Copyright is a legal minefield and as I understand it if you don’t protect your copyright on every case you discover you can run into problems if you ever have to take something serious to court (it’s why big companies make what appear to be retarded decisions taking people to court for copyright/trademark infringements, they have to be seen to be protecting their work).
If I stumble across any sites using the banners I’ll give them a friendly notice to replace the banner images. Banners are really easy to make, there’s loads of public domain sources for images with thousands of images suitable for making banners, so not hard to replace them.
For Talian 5 customers it’s not an issue, so you can legally keep your site as it is :-)
In the Talian update called Stallion SEO Ad Theme I’m including copyright notices within each banner folder. Some images are from the public domain** and though you don’t have to credit material from the public domain, I have in Stallion 6.
** Although the images are from the public domain since they have been edited they do become copyright whoever edited them (it’s a derivative work). I don’t think I’d spend time chasing copyright infringements of derivative public domain images though :-)

WordPress Passive Income Theme
Talian 5 Theme and Massive Passive Profits
I have a few questions. I’m not as adept as I’d like with the formatting, so hopefully you can lead me in the right direction.
I did buy the Massive Passive software and do use the basic with your Talian WP program.
1- Can I make the huge Adsense box on top a little smaller? And where.
2- How do I fix the cut-off of the article? I want the whole thing to show on the 1st page. For some reason, it doesn’t do that cutoff on the sub-domains — which I like.
3- I have a few widgets on the side that I need to realign, but wanted to know if I can have a section above the clickbank ads and how would I do that? (the longer box ones)
4- I get an RSS XML error when trying to set up my RSS feed. Where would I fix that? a little lost. Tried deleting the feed and starting over but still isn’t working. I must have a coding issue or something.
5- On my sub-domains, when I try to add widgets, links and such to the side bars, they don’t stick. Do I need to change something in Talian to make it stick? (I enter them, looks like it worked, looked at the site to see how it looks and when I return, the widget, links are gone)
Overall, I like Talian and look forward to the update. Unfortunately, I really need to get the above tweaked to stay with Talian. I have looked at other formats that I generally like, but doesn’t quite meet my needs as this one does.
Thanks for your help.

Will try to answer these best I can, if I miss anything LMK.
1. You can change the size on any AdSense ad unit by editing the adsense.php file, there’s instructions in that file and within one of the readme files with the theme. In Stallion 6 (Talian 5 update) those settings are built into the options pages (there’s 9 options pages in Stallion 6).
2. Sounds like you are talking about the excerpt which is an SEO feature of Talian, I’ve described ways to create a richer home page etc… at Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin and Talian WordPress SEO Theme Support article (Post Teaser Plugin).
3. In Talian 5 the widgets are limited to the sidebars only, to add say a banner ad to a non sidebar area you’d need to edit template files and paste the code into a template. In Stallion 6 I’ve added new widget areas in multiple locations (within the header, below the header, where the banners are, where the main AdSense ad floats and above the footer) where you can add text widgets which can include almost any code. Stallion 6 will be released in days.
4. I checked your site linked in your name and I couldn’t access the WordPress feed that’s normally accessed via domain.com/feed . I would guess a plugin you are using has broken the feed. This is just a guess, try disabling plugins and check the feed URL for your site.
5. Not sure why your widgets wouldn’t stick. Others using the Massive Passive Profits plugin have reported issues with widgets and the MPP plugin, I’m not familiar enough with the plugin to know what the issue is (what causes it), but others have said if you don’t match your sub-domain widgets with the main site it can mess up.
I would suggest reducing the number of stuff you’ve installed on your site (it’s a bit of a mess) and add things back one at a time to check for problems. For example something is causing your site to register an error when it loads in Internet Explorer (“Done but with errors”). IME that’s usually a javascript issue (probably a plugin or one of the text widgets).

Thank you for the quick response. Will review your comments and take action.
Thanks!!!
Bill McRea Links Network
Still can’t understand who are the donors of the links? Are they the blogs made by the customers of Massive Passive plugin? Eg. I make autoblogs with MPP plugin, does that mean that I will found myself having plenty of outbound links set by mpp pluging without my knowing of that?
Above the Matrix Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin Links Network
The backlinks come from other WordPress sites that are using the Above the Matrix Auto Traffic Nirvana WordPress Plugin (or whatever Bill McRea called it, changed it’s name twice!).
If those WordPress sites are running the Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin as well (I’m sure many will) you’ll gain backlinks from other Massive Passive Profits autoblogs. If Bill McRea manages to open his Above the Matrix link network to WordPress users generally then your links will come from a variety of WordPress sites. Unlikely he’ll get many high quality WordPress blogs to sign up since these types of link networks result in banned domains in Google. So you’ll be gaining lots of low quality links and if you only submit low quality blogs won’t matter when they are banned by Google.
Running just the Massive Passive Profits plugin on your WordPress site will not result in your site linking to Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin users sites, you also have to have the Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin installed to be part of the link network.

Above the Matrix Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin Links Network
Bill McRea Auto Traffic Nirvana Review
A lot of Talian 5 theme and Stallion SEO theme users found their way to my WordPress SEO Ad themes through Bill McRea and his Massive Passive Profits Autoblog Plugin.
I’m sure many of my theme customers will be considering purchasing the new Above the Matrix, Emerald 11 Auto Traffic Nirvana WordPress Plugin by Bill McRea that will be released soon, so giving you a run down of what it does and whether it’s a good purchase for your sites.
What does the Above the Matrix, Emerald 11 Auto Traffic Nirvana WordPress Plugin do?
There’s basically two ways to gain traffic on the Internet without paying through the nose for it through advertising services like AdWords and Overture.
From search engines like Google through search engine optimization (SEO) means and direct traffic from other websites etc… (a visitor to Site A clicks a link on that site and goes to Site B). Most of my time online has been spent on generating traffic from search engines, recently I’ve made thousands in sales because of direct traffic, so it’s not a traffic source to be ignored.
Above the Matrix includes Auto Traffic Nirvana and potentially taps into both these sources of traffic.
Emerald 11 Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
When the Auto Traffic Nirvana plugin is installed it adds that site to a network of sites for linking together, as I understand it not in a reciprocal** way, they appear as one way links: a one way link is where Site A links to Site B, but Site B does NOT link back (one way).
The concept behind Above the Matrix Auto Traffic Nirvana plugin is not a new idea, though I’m not familiar with similar services that add the links within the main content (others I’ve seen add the links to the sidebar or footer area). This intext contextual linking has obvious SEO benefits in the form of more backlinks, there is of course the SEO cost of your site linking to other sites in the network (there is no free lunch), but there is inherent value in having within the content links, intext contextual links, which is what Auto Traffic Nirvana does, they appear as organic/natural links.
Emerald 11 Direct Traffic
Any of the links on a page in the Emerald 11 network have the potential to be clicked generating direct traffic. It’s impossible to predict how likely a link will be clicked because it very much depends on where in the content the link is located. I can tell you a link from a sidebar or footer area is rarely clicked! If a link is relevant to that content and within the main body text of the page the chances of a click increases significantly. Also depends a lot on how much traffic the sites in the Emerald 11 network receive as well.
Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin Power
The power of Auto Traffic Nirvana will very much depend on the size of the Above the Matrix network, how many sites will be within the network? If there was only 100 domains for example it’s not going to be a very good linking network. Knowing how many customers Bill McRea has for his Massive Passive Profits Plugin and other WordPress related products I expect this could be a massive network of tens of thousands of sites (this gives Above the Matrix a lot of potential SEO and traffic generation power) in a relatively short period of time!
With thousands of domains involved if the plugin has been designed well and reciprocal linking is avoided it should be difficult for Google and other search engines to easily determine a site is part of a linking network (using a link network is gaming the search engines and so you have to be careful). That being said I wouldn’t advise testing Emerald 11 Auto Traffic Nirvana out with an important domain on it’s release, it’s a new linking service and things can go wrong. I would suggest trying Auto Traffic Nirvana with your Massive Passive Profits Autoblogs, an autoblog is easily generated and easy to replace, so if something does go wrong it’s not the end of the world. Review the Auto Traffic Nirvana network for at least a few months, if no issues consider other sites, personally I wouldn’t use it on an extremely important website, I’m very, very, very cautious when using services on my most important domains, if Google penalizes a domain it can be permanent.
Auto Traffic Nirvana licenses are sold in packs of 10, for under $50 you can add 10 of your domains (1 domain includes all your sub-domains/sub-sites generated via the Massive Passive Profits plugin: that’s potentially 300 sub-domains per domain) to the Auto Traffic Nirvana Emerald 11 link network. $5 for links to a site is dirt cheap, there are services that charge significantly more than $5 a link, Auto Traffic Nirvana has the potential of generating thousands of links between relevant sites.
How to Use The Auto Traffic Nirvana Plugin
When the Above the Matrix Emerald 11 plugin is installed you have a small options page with various settings.
Max Link Count : You have the option of between 2 and 6 links per post. You will probably be tempted to whack it up to 6 links, I would strongly advise not doing this, I would stick to 2 links per post especially for a autoblog and review the results after a few weeks. An autoblog can have thousands of pages, if you set the number of links to 6 and the Auto Traffic Nirvana network does become as big as I think it will, you could easily fill those 6 link spots. Consider this:
1,000 post autoblog.
6 links per page.
6,000 backlinks** potentially almost over night.
This could throw a red flag up to Google.
1,000 post autoblog.
2 links per page.
2,000 backlinks potentially almost over night.
Still a lot of links, but far less likely to trip any Google filters.
I’d like to see the option of 1 link per page.
Always start cautiously, 2,000 backlinks is a lot of link power (been doing this years and that would take me 6+ months to achieve 2,000 backlinks!). What a lot of SEO’s don’t understand is the mere fact a site is linked to from another site is a BIG SEO plus to Google (doesn’t need to be high PR), it tells Google other webmasters think the site is worthy of a link (it’s a good site).
The Open links in a new window option should be ticked if you want the links from your sites to open in a new window.
Submit feeds to RSS Search Engines should be ticked, this submits new posts to 9 feed aggregators which can syndicate your content (generate more links). Some of these RSS services require accounts.
Include already published Posts should be ticked to have links added to and from all posts of a WordPress site. If this is a Massive Passive Profits Autoblog you could leave this unticked and start with extreme caution.
BIG SEO Warning.
DO NOT use a linking network plugin like the one described above on an important domain. This is only for autoblogs which in the medium term you expect search engines like Google to ban. If you used a service like the above on an important business domain for example that your livelihood depended upon you might as well delete the domain and shut down your business now, it will almost certainly be penalized medium term.
