Comment on Stallion WordPress SEO Theme by Mark.
I will be curious how the two column 2011 theme Vs. The three column Talian theme (I assume this will still be one of the options) will fare in terms of Adsense results. I also think you mentioned you will have a one column. I know many people discount one columns but a very successful forum I know generates a nice income stream with a one column layout with integrated Adsense (city-data).
I wonder if it would make any sense to have a few WP polls on your site to gather data about such things like column use and success or colors or placement and other ideas, although I do not know if WP polls create objective data to be frank. I mean the recycled heat map of Adsense has been the standard, but in a world which now uses the web differently with ipads and mobile phones and longer pages I wonder if the old Google heat map for Adsense is still the ultimate guide for optimizing income generation. Further does it apply for one or two or three column layouts with icons pulling the eyes all over the page?
I think there is a complex interaction between colors and columns and width and the human mind and other factors not talked about on a website in relation to Adsense that goes way beyond the heat map. Further, with human psychology of action I think this is an under studied idea. It is talked about in a general sense on forums but I would be curious to see some real tests and studies.
For the amount of money at stake with online money generation I am surprised at how many people are guessing (myself included) as opposed to objecting it. Can you imagine if there was a model of exogenous and endogenous variable with coefficients and correlations. That would be valuable or at least interesting.
Anyway, and sorry for this but it has to be said, I am sincerely appreciative of your hard work on this Stallion theme. The amount of creativity and heart and soul you put into this is really helps my online efforts as an entrepreneur. So I hope karmically or some how you are rewarded as the theme is pure value and contribution to other people’s lives, from a users standpoint.
Many people might just be coming across this WordPress theme for the first time and not realizes that is the culmination of years of experience with SEO and countless hours of inspiration and perspiration. So if anyone is considering trying this WP Theme, I would say yes it is worth it.
