Comment on SEO AdSense WordPress Theme by SEO Dave.

AdSense Publisher ID Stallion 7.0 (the update I’m working on warranted a version 7 rather than 6.3) includes the new Google Analytics AdSense Tracking code. So that will be available soon (working on releasing Stallion 7.0 this month).

I’m currently in perfection mode trying to remove ALL PHP notices from Stallion, most of the plugin code I’ve added had loads of PHP notices and warnings, that though don’t stop the code working correctly isn’t ideal (fixed most of it).

Your verifying Google webmaster tools problem sounds like a caching issue. I had this problem myself when running Stallion 6.2 and WP Super Cache Plugin, basically when I viewed source of the code when logged in the correct Webmaster Tools Verification code was present, but when logged out it wasn’t. I have WP Super Cache set not to cache when a logged in user is accessing a site, which meant because the cache wasn’t immediately updating after I save the Stallion options (why would it) Google Webmaster Tools which isn’t a logged in user was seeing the cache which lacked the verification code. I either had to wait for WP Super Cache to regenerate the cache of the home page or manually regenerate it (I use the latter technique).

There was also a problem in Stallion 6.1 where I’d not taken into account users with a static front page (set under “Settings >> Reading” – “A static page (select below)”) instead of the default archived home page, that was fixed in Stallion 6.2. That was an issue because I have the webmaster tools verification only to load on the home page for those who add it and don’t remove it after verification – there’s no reason to keep it after it’s verified and we certainly don’t need it loaded sitewide. In Stallion 7.0 I’ve set the update database code to clear the content on the verification codes, so if users forget to remove it when they do an update it will be cleared.

I’ve also removed Yahoo Webmaster Tools verification (no longer exists) and added Alexa verification.
