Chitika ads are built into the Stallion Responsive theme and Stallion WordPress SEO theme. To activate the Chitika ads log into your sites WordPress Dashboard and after installing Stallion via the “Appearance” >> “Themes” page on the left menu click: “Stallion Theme” This opens the main Stallion Theme options page (labeled “Stallion Theme”).

The Chitika ID listed by default is mine : clickity […]

The Stallion SEO Advanced Options can be found and configured under “Stallion Theme” >> “SEO Advanced Options”. As with all Stallion SEO Theme options pages defaults are preset (Stallion runs out the box with limited setup), for a quick Best SEO options setup remember under the main Stallion options page you can load my defaults (what I tend to use as a starting point on my WordPress sites) via the setting “Use My Default Settings File SEO Version : stallion_defaults_seo.php”. This file can also be edited by you to change the defaults to match your needs.

My name is David Law, AKA SEO Dave :-) and the developer of the WordPress Themes and WordPress Plugins on this website. I cut my teeth on SEO in the early 2000’s when I started my first online business selling sex toys and sexy lingerie, had a website with around 2,000 adult products and no money to promote through AdWords or other advertising means. Hadn’t heard of search engine optimization and at first ran on the belief if I built a website, they (visitors) will come: you quickly learn website visitors don’t work that way :-) Quickly learnt search engine optimization and in my first full year trading had earnt over £80,000 from selling adult products. Over a decade later […]

I’ve been developing WordPress AdSense Themes since 2006, you’ll find every theme both free and premium on this site includes AdSense: it’s all about the money, money, money… making it that is :-) Even have a few free Blogger AdSense templates, although I make most of my online money through WordPress I do use free Blogger blogs to support my network of WordPress blogs: I needed Blogger SEO templates, also added AdSense. As of June 2014 My best WordPress AdSense theme is Stallion Responsive, it’s got everything you could ask for in an AdSense ready theme from full control over ad sizes, placement, colours etc… to full support for the newer responsive AdSense beta ads units: actually my responsive AdSense […]

The anchor text of a text link is very important for good search engine rankings, but most webmasters building links to a page tend to be obsessed with the anchor text of incoming links (links to a page from external domains) and practically forget about the anchor text of internal links they have full control over: internal/external Google doesn’t really distinguish between them, they are all links. Before we discuss more advanced anchor text SEO strategies if you aren’t familiar with anchor text, see the WordPress SEO anchor text tutorial that explains what anchor text is with HTML examples. Links FROM a page are also very important to it’s search engine rankings, if you want a Search Engine Results Page […]

Alexa.com is a site owned by Amazon that’s been tracking global user traffic rank data for well over a decade, the results tend to be biased towards websites with users who are more likely to install the Alexa toolbar (main method Alexa uses to track traffic data): website owners, techy geeks and nerds, you know, the people reading this article about increasing Alexa traffic rank :-) I’ve installed/uninstalled the Alexa toolbar so many times I’ve lot count, install it because I know running the toolbar means when I visit my web sites they’ll get an Alexa traffic rank boost, then uninstall it because it adds no useful features I use. Shame they don’t provide frequent install Alexa toolbar miles :-) […]
