I’ve got a little bored of the theme on pilkster.com now so I’m preparing to release it (for free of course) to the public. I don’t really like to run ads on my personal blog, but this theme was originally designed with Google’s AdSense and other advertising networks in mind, in fact it was created for TechPuddle.com, an advertising supported tech blog.

For those of you who appreciated my SEO Adsense Wordpress Theme, I have created a new and improved theme called (simply) AdSense. The theme is being released through Themey, a new site dedicated to Wordpress Themes.
AdSense theme is widget ready and has been designed for WP 2.1 (Ella). I’m hoping that the grey background and grey text should lead the readers eyes to the adsense adverts for a good conversion rate. Again, this theme has been designed without the use of images so it is quick and easy to implement on any Wordpress blog.
If you do download and use the theme please let me know what you think by commenting on the theme over at Themey.com

Back to Kubrick for now - the Adsense SEO Theme for Wordpress was driving me nuts, I couldn’t tell what was ads and what was navigation/content. Watch out for a prettier version of that theme coming soon, and also some really REALLY groovy new themes
This theme might look pretty basic… that’s because it is!
This theme has been designed to be quickly added to any Wordpress site with no customisation. There is no need to alter header images because there aren’t any… like Kubrick it relies on text generated from your blogs title and description, and also from the category and post descriptions.
Adsense is integrated (3 units per page, and one linkunit ~ the maximum Google allows), and the theme also includes Adsense for search in place of the standard Wordpress search function. Of course, it is easy to switch out Adsense for any other advertising program you may wish to use, the banners are standard sizes.
Some basic SEO has been carried out… the “title” and “h1″ tags contain the most relevant information… on a post page, the post title is used, on a category the category title is used etc. This should give Search Engines a better understanding of your page, and hence an improved ranking for your page. Another often overlooked advantage of correct use of tags is that your result in the SERPs will be formed correctly, so instead of your websites name (eg. pilkster.com) being used in every result, the page title (eg. SEO Adsense Wordpress Theme) or category title will be used. This is a much more useful and appealing result for the searcher.
This theme is also compatible with my Amazon Plugin For Wordpress.
Adsense is located in the following files; header.php (728×15 linkunit), footer.php (728×90 adunit), sidebar.php (336×280 adunit, 160×600 adunit).
Adsense for search is located in searchform.php.
The theme is intentionally basic and should be simple to build up and out from. If you use this theme as-is, or build a new theme from it, please let me know by commenting on this post.

I’m testing a new Wordpress theme incorporating industry-standard size adverts ~ I have currently filled all the slots with Adsense. I have also replaced the Wordpress search function with Adsense for search.
Once I have cleaned up the stylesheet I’m going to use this theme as the basis for a bunch of themes, so please let me know if something looks out of place
