WordPress Widgets Missing
Hi,
I’m just starting with Ad Clerum and am having problems with widgets. It seems the widget editor is unusable. No widgets appear in the Sidebar editors on the Widgets page but do on the blog. If I try to add to widget I loose the standard sidebar functions that are coded into the left.php and right.php files.
I have added a Tag cloud widget to the right sidebar
I guess I am not understanding something or other. I’d appreciate it if you could take a look.
Thanks
David

How WordPress Widgets Work?
Resolved, I think! I guess I just have to add the widgets that I want and they overide the sidebar php files.

Add WordPress Widgets to a Sidebar
That’s right, as soon as you add a widget what was on that sidebar is removed. You then add exactly which menu items you want.
When adding widgets try to aim for the ones with GAT in the name before using the default widgets. The GAT ones are specifically for this theme.

Wrong AdSense Ads
Hi again David,
Can you tell me why, whatever page I set for my Front Page, Google Ads show blogging and wordpress ads. This is also the case if I set my latest post as Front Page. Every other page (and posts) picks up my Slovenia content perfectly.
Thanks
David
How Google AdSense Ads Work
Not unusual to see unrelated ads at first especially if this is the first time the sites had AdSense on it.
It’s a WordPress blog so not surprising if the AdSense bot hasn’t decided what a page is about it will default to blog like ads: you have a blogroll, rss feeds, comments and of course in the code references to WordPress (not sure if AdSense looks at where the template files are located) all suggesting your site is a blog.
Give it time and it should improve, but don’t be worried if a few ads still don’t make sense as some advertisers do blanket type advertising and will take any traffic (basically very, very cheap advertising).

How Google AdSense Ads Work
Niche Relevant AdSense Ads
Actually I’m amazed at how quick Google displays relevant ads – its immediate for all my new posts. Does the Adsense bot read the URL, as the only page/post that does not have the right ads on it is the Front page, no matter what content I put there?
For example, my sites home page has poor ads, whilst WordPress posts has good Adsence ads relevant to the niche.
I guess this is a WordPress issue and not the theme.
Love the theme by the way. Very happy with it.

Niche Relevant AdSense Ads
How the GoogleAdBot Works
Glad you like the theme :)
Like you I’ve noticed a tendency for the home page of a new WordPress site or one with AdSense just added to have less relevant ads than deeper content on the same domain.
I’m not sure why that is, I’ve put it down to what the AdSense bot saw when the first AdSense ad was loaded on the home page for the first time. So if you installed WordPress and you get the Hello post mentioning WordPress, you are going to get WordPress ads. Add to this the Blogroll I mentioned before and it makes sense.
Look at your default About page to see what I mean. The bot has to spider a page just like GoogleAdbot (their AdSense search robot) and that takes time (it’s not instant). If you update your About page today the bot has to come back a respider/index it, in the meantime you’ll get Blog type ads.

Ad Clerum Adsense Theme and SEO Super Comments Plugin
I’ve been using Ad Clerum for a while now and switched over to your Adsense version. Do you have a version of Seo Super Comments for the Ad Clerum Adsense Theme that fixes the title issue. I had no problem getting the plugin to use the post tags for keywords, but I can’t wrap my head around changing the meta title.
