Comment on Clickbank WordPress Themes by SEO Dave.
I’m working on another big Talian 05 update now and hope to add Chitika ads with the next update.
Looks like I’ve managed to misplace my hacked Talian with Chitika/Clickbank theme so couldn’t sell it right now if I wanted to (I wouldn’t sell it, it’s hacked together).
For those interested so far have added the following for the next Talian 05 update:
Changed the code so if you disable AdSense or Clickbank the AdSense and Clickbank files are not loaded by WordPress: this means the theme requires less resources to load and so I can add more ad options like Chitika, Amazon and others without having an impact on resources unless you use those ad platforms.
Cleaning the head code: WordPress adds quite a bit of code in the head of a page that’s not used by the majority of WordPress users and other code that though has a function (like pre-loading the next post to the one you are on just in case you go there next) they are not needed, so added to the Talian options page the ability to remove a lot of these lines of code.
Currently Talian takes the title of a post and other page attributes for generating the keywords for deciding which Clickbank products to advertise. Have added the ability to override the automated keywords and set a sitewide set of keywords that the users types in that are to be used for all Clickbank ads.
Have changed the current ability to exclude pages from the navigation menu to be either exclude or include pages from the navigation menu. Will allow those with a lot of pages to list a small number of pages for the navigation menu rather than having to exclude lots of pages.
Those features are already coded in and appear to be working fine on a development server (need to test on real sites before release).
Before sending out the update plan to add:
Chitika ads.
Ability to turn individual AdSense and Clickbank ads on/off via the Talian admin page. Working on this now.
Ability to disable the built in Talian meta tags for those that use SEO plugins like the All In One SEO plugin. Currently if you use the All In One SEO plugin you get two sets of meta tags (not a big deal as they have little value, but still needs a fix).
Add an ability similar to noindex, but it doesn’t waste link benefit/PR: this is a major SEO feature, currently no SEO theme or SEO plugin offers anything like this. If you currently use a plugin like All In One SEO to block pages like the archive pages from being indexed (using noindex which is SEO damaging) this will replace that SEO damaging plugin feature.
Add the ability to rearrange the title element of all page types (like you get with the popular SEO plugins). Not a feature I’ll use, but one people obviously want as otherwise they wouldn’t install the SEO plugins.
If I get this coded into the Talian theme it should replace the majority of useful features you find with the popular WordPress SEO plugins.
