Comment on SEO AdSense WordPress Theme by SEO Dave.

AdSense Publisher ID I need to stop adding new features for the Stallion 6.1 update otherwise I’ll never release it :-)

The Stallion theme is by far the best WordPress SEO theme available online today, nothing (other than Talian 5) comes close to perfect WordPress SEO, I’m that confident of this claim there’s $1,000 available to the first person to show me a more feature rich WordPress SEO theme (all Stallion SEO features plus one more).

I want Stallion to also be the best WordPress Ad Theme as well and though with Stallion 6.01 it’s up there with the best WordPress ad themes, it wasn’t the best.

I’m hoping with what I’ve added to Stallion 6.1 might be enough to consider it a serious contender for the best WordPress ad theme, certainly the best if you take into account SEO (can achieve a lot if you don’t care about SEO, I do which means I only add features that are not SEO damaging).

There’s a new section in Stallion 6.1 where you can add 125px by 125px wide banner ads, up to 20 of them.

Add a URL, 125px image, alt text (hover over text) and indicate whether you want the ad cloaked using the built in Stallion cloaking (see Stallion Theme Cloak Affiliate Links Tutorial), frag and drop a Widget to a sidebar and you’ll have 125px wide ads.

Add up to 20 of these banners and select how many to show at a time, from 1 to 20. If you add 10 banner images for example and select 4 to show, each page load will randomly show 4 of the 10 banners.

This is a really good addition to Stallion, many Stallion users are into Internet Marketing and promote a lot of affiliate products via 125px wide banners wasting link benefit on nofollow links. This Stallion ad feature not only does what many plugins or custom built banner widgets can do it has built in link cloaking (the cloaking that’s SEO friendly, saves link benefit), as far as I’m aware no other theme or plugin offers this as an ad feature: you can have both cloaked and non cloaked banner images at the same time with Stallion.

Also added a Custom Ad Widget you can build a single banner ad (any image size) for your sidebars. If you are used to adding banner ads via a text widget and manually setting the styling, this widget saves a lot of time with built in alignments left, right and center. Optional heading and ability to paste entire ads. This currently doesn’t include link cloaking.

These new ad features work particularly well with the new Stallion 6.1 layouts.

For fun I’ve added a Pink Stallion colour scheme :-)

MUST stop adding new features and release Stallion 6.1.
