Comment on WordPress SEO Plugins by SEO Dave.
The plugins on the WordPress SEO Plugins article are what I use.
The AdSense ad units you can use up to but no more than three of them. With the way I’ve set the ads up you can either have a sidebar ad on the right menu (default without using widgets) or the left (by using the widgets settings).
There’s also two versions of the sidebar ad, one lacks the header saying it’s a advert. You should only use one or the other of these ad units as otherwise you’ll add four ad units to your theme and one won’t work.
If you read through the older comments you’ll see how to use widgets to add the sidebar ad unit where ever you want in on the left or right menus.
BTW Sent your theme earlier today, thanks for the order.
Question 3 is a hard one, if you plan to make the sidebars wider you’ll also have to either make the entire theme wider or the main content area narrower. From an SEO/AdSense perspective there’s no harm in doing this, but it’s beyond the scope of these comments to cover something as detailed as this beyond the following.
Load style.css in a text editor and play around with these classes (it’s the width you want to change):
#right-sidebars
#left-sidebars
.post-fixed
#post-entry
.post-meta
#post-entry h1
Probably
.sidebar-box
.sidebar-box span
.sidebar-box ul , .sidebar-box p
.sidebar-box ul ul
.sidebar-box ul li a:link,…………..
.sidebar-box ul ul li a:link,…………..
And other css classes!
Depending on what you want to do will depend on what you need to change, you have to make sure all changes match together, so if you widen the two sidebars you’ll have to widen a lot of other stuff.
I learnt HTML making changes like this, didn’t have a clue what I was doing, would make a change to see what it did :)
