Stallion Responsive Theme Step by Step Guide

Comment on Stallion Responsive WordPress SEO Theme by SEO Dave.

This website is the guide to Stallion Responsive, there’s no simple tick, tick, tick done setup because there’s so many ways to use the SEO package. When you take the entire SEO package into account there are something like 1,000 options and even when there aren’t options for something there are multiple ways to achieve the same sort of outcome.

I have a particular view on SEO which not everyone agrees with and have kept the ability to setup a website in a way I’d never run a website (the SEO package would be far simpler/less options if only I used it).

That being said good starting point which if you see things in a similar way I do is described on the main Stallion Responsive theme options page under “Stallion Theme” read the part about “New To Stallion, Fast Setup Instructions” that will get you within a handful of specific options changes (your AdSense, Twitter name type options) that I use: when I install Stallion Responsive on a site I use the SEO defaults and probably change half a dozen other Stallion settings, add Stallion widgets and pretty much done setup wise.

Yes you can change AdSense to an affiliate banner. There are multiple ways to achieve this, probably the easiest is go to “Stallion Theme” >> “AdSense Options” find the form box “Full AdSense Ad Unit Code : stradunit2” and add your banner code there.

Whatever you add to that box will be used instead of the AdSense ad. All the AdSense ad units can be over written this way, same is true for the Chitika ads as well. I try to add instructions for this sort of stuff within the options pages and plan to expand on those instructions here (it’s a LOT to describe and expand on).

If you want access to all three content AdSense ad units (so you want 3 content AdSense ads AND a custom ad) you could use a widget instead (under “Appearance” >> “Widgets”). Add either a “Text Widget” or “Stallion Custom Ad widget” to the “Below Main Footer Area” widget area and put your custom ad code in the widget. The “Below Main Footer Area” is above where the footer AdSense ad is.

Or you could activate the Chitika ads, go to “Stallion Theme” >> “Chitika Options”, turn off all the ads except “Ad Unit 2” and add your code to “Full Chitika Ad Unit Code”. Like with over writing the AdSense ads this over writes the Chitika ads, you could use all 6 Chitika ads for adding your own custom ads via the “Full Chitika Ad Unit Code” forms.

This is why there’s no single step by step WordPress SEO package guide to using Stallion responsive, there’s way too many permutations to cover in one document. I’ve been writing Stallion tutorials and guides for months and still not scratch the surface of what’s possible, there will be setups that can be achieved I haven’t thought of yet :-)
