  Very handy! Thank you very much for the effort. Might need to repack again due to double directory and wordpress say it is broken theme.
  Thanks anyway, this is great… it rocks

• 2. SEO Dave  |  August 13th, 2006 at 9:45 pm

  Thanks Ronn for your kind words and the heads up on the double directory error. Have uploaded a new zip file.

  That was quick trying out the theme BTW

  Not sure why Wordpress would say it’s broke though?

  I’m using the latest version of WordPress 2.0.4 and downloaded the latest (or what I assume is the latest) version of Blix from WordPress popular theme page http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ today (plan is to ad AdSense to the most popular themes first might have Connections ready by tomorrow)..

  I’ve tested the theme just now on two other blogs, one running WordPress 2.0.2 (highly hacked) and another running WordPress 2.0.4 (fresh install, no plugins or anything) and no problems reported.

  I take it you got it working OK though?

  If anyone else has a problem LMK.

  Thanks again for the comment, good to know someone is using it

  Found a problem with the original Blix theme zip file I was working from, not sure what happened but all of the images associated with the theme are corrupt!! The theme works, but lacked the finer details of small images at the side of menu links for example. Found it an hour ago as I was making an SEO version of Blix.

  I’ve got a non corrupt version of the theme direct from the authors web site, so will be fixing it ASAP, in the meantime hold off downloading the zip file above.

  The next version will also make it possible to change the Google AdSense ad colours easily as well. So look out for version 2 of Blix with Google AdSense.

• 8. SEO Dave  |  September 14th, 2006 at 8:40 pm

  I’m happy to report version 2 is now linked from the “Download Blix with AdSense Wordpress Theme” link above. This version of Blix has improvements over the first Blix with AdSense theme.

  I’ve fixed the corrupt image problem, so all of the small images work now. Also improved placement of the AdSense units, for example in version two I’ve managed to code the first post only on archived pages (these are pages that tend to show 10 blog posts each) to show a 250 by 250 ad unit (like you see on this page near the top). This wasn’t easy to code, so very happy with this achievement.
  You will also find the option to change AdSense ad unit colours globally by editing just one file. So if you don’t like the default blended ad colours it’s very easy to change.

  If anyone has any problems/comments please post them here.

  Enjoy.

  Have also added a Blix search engine optimization theme version. This also includes the AdSense ads etc…, but also includes code changes to improve search engine rankings.

  This is the type of code I use on my sites.

  I want to know how to shorten the post with “Continue reading Post title”

  Thanks

• 11. SEO Dave  |  October 2nd, 2006 at 6:55 am

  I use a WordPress plugin called Post Teaser http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser with my own settings (I edit everything I use at code level for SEO reasons).

  David

• 12. Lisa  |  October 15th, 2006 at 3:47 pm

  I can’t seem to get my code into the theme because I can’t open the unzipped folders. Do I need a special program?

• 13. SEO Dave  |  October 16th, 2006 at 1:05 am

  Do you mean on your hard drive or on the server?

  If the former I’ve no idea why when unzipped the files within the folder isn’t accessible (they should be)??

  If on the server and you are trying to edit them using the WordPress built in template editor you’ll need to set permissions for that folder and files so they are editable (I use 777 as other settings don’t work on my server).

  In Filezilla (a free FTP program I use, search for it with Google if you want a copy, it’s very good) right click the file(s) you want to change permissions on select File Attributes and in the new window tick all boxes so it says 777.

  You’ll then be able to edit the files with WordPress. You can find more about setting permissions on the WordPress support forum.

  Hi David,

  Thanks a million for your “Blix SEO with AdSense Wordpress Theme”, it works great!

  Jjust one small things, when I insert , on the blog page display like (more…) , how can I modify to something like (read whole article, clicke here). I can not find in PHP code file.

  Thanks!

• 15. SEO Dave  |  October 18th, 2006 at 12:28 pm

  Hi Kelvin glad you like the theme.

  I don’t use the more tag for creating an excerpt of a post on archive pages, I use a plugin called Post Teaser http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser which creates the except automatically in the format-

  Short section of article

  Continue reading “Name of Post”

  With “Name of Post” a link.

  If it’s a short post no link is added.

  Works much better than the more tag since it’s automated and you don’t have to think about it

  If you want to use more still there’s info about it here http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More and if more was part of the original Blix template (it is) it will work with my versions as I took nothing like that out.

  David

• 16. SEO Dave  |  October 18th, 2006 at 12:42 pm

  LOL just realised you asked where the more code is in the template

  Open index.php (Main Index Template if editing via WordPress template editor)

  Around line 40 you’ll see this-

  class=”more”>Continue Reading

  To have the text “read whole article, click here” as the anchor text change to-

  class=”more”>read whole article, click here

  Save/upload and that’s it for the home page links.

  Repeat with the file archive.php (Archives if using WordPress Template editor, note the capital A as there is a lower case archives as well!). Look around line 64.

  If you are wanting an SEO version of the above link use this instead-

  Change-

  <a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” class=”more”>Continue Reading</a>

  to

  Continue Reading <a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” class=”more”><?php the_title(); ?></a>

  This will use the article title as the anchor text (good for SEO reasons).

  David

• 17. kelvin  |  October 20th, 2006 at 10:19 pm

  I found code on your index.php and modify :

  post_excerpt != “”)? the_excerpt() : the_content(” …read full article… ” . get_the_title(”, ”, false)); ?>

  It works

  However PostTeaser not working, unless I put <!–more->, then on the blog shows both ( more link and PostTeaser link), so I just use <!–more–> tag.

  Thanks a lot!

• 18. SEO Dave  |  October 20th, 2006 at 11:03 pm

  With the Post teaser plugin it only works when there is a reasonable amount of content.

  This post http://www.morearnings.com/2006/09/10/wordpress-comments-and-rel-nofollow/ has enough content, but this one http://www.morearnings.com/2006/03/31/free-seo-advice/ doesn’t.

  I think the default setting was around 100 words or something like that before it creates an excerpt. You could change it to say 50 words if your posts tend to be short. On this blog I have it set at 115 words.

  Look under Options/Post Teaser for the settings to change.

  Hi David,

  After use your SEO theme for my blog, my site and blog both jumped into top rank of Google search result, thanks a lot for your help.

  There is strange things, My site domain.com has PR 3 got first position;
  but domain.com/blog got second position by only has PR 0 , how can this happen, is there any way I can improve /Blog PR through inside link from index.html.

  Also, is there anyway I can set up all previous link in one page, so people can overview all article at one time.

  Thanks a million for your kindly advise again!

  Kelvin

• 20. SEO Dave  |  October 27th, 2006 at 10:14 pm

  Hey Kelvin,

  Glad the SEO Blix theme helped with your rankings.

  Your blog as second listing for a SERP is normal, Google is saying there’s another page on your site that’s relevant to that search phrase.

  I’ve found internal links pass close to full benefit right away where external incoming links take about a year to pass full benefit see http://www.seo-gold.com/tutorial/google-sandbox-effect.html so if you’ve linked to your blogs home page from the index page it’s going to rank quicker than if you put the same blog on a new domain or only had links from outside sources. With a PR3 home page the boost won’t be very big, but everything helps

  If there’s a link from your home page to the blog it will increase PR of the blogs main page at the next PR update (PageRank updates are roughly quarterly now!!). With a PR3 home page you’ll probably see a PR2 for your blog home page. If there aren’t many links from your home page (to other pages of your site and outside) then it might make your blog PR3, see http://www.seo-gold.com/tutorial/pagerank.html for more details about how PR works.

  Not tried to get all blog articles linked from one page, though I bet there’s a way either through the archive pages or a plugin. Take a look on WordPress see what they have.

  Is this version of the Blix theme widget friendly?

• 22. SEO Dave  |  October 28th, 2006 at 10:29 pm

  I hadn’t tried the Widgets plugin until today, so new to this.

  After following the instructions at http://automattic.com/code/widgets/themes/ I got Widgets working, but the formatting wasn’t quite right, got the category coding right, but lost the small icons associated with menu links.

  Only spent 15 mins on this so maybe I haven’t understood the plugin fully, but it looks like you’d loose the AdSense ad unit on the sidebar if you used this plugin since it’s not a widget per se.

  So yes you could get it to work, but it would mess with part of the AdSense optimization.

• 25. Randy Quimpo  |  November 7th, 2006 at 7:22 pm

  Hi SEO Dave,
  Thanks for the nice Blix modification! Only problem I had with Blix is that I wanted it to be wider, so I tweaked it and you can see a 900px version of this theme here (sorry, thats demo text for now - still tweaking the theme).

  http://www.goforty.com/video

  I find the theme NOT EASY to tweak, though, and I still need some help with the following:

  1. I changed the header graphic, but I am having trouble changing the color of the title. I changed the H1 and H1a in the stylesheet, but it also changes the header of the article.

  2. I want to change the color scheme of the boxes in the header, and the titles of the links on the right. Can you point to me where I can access this?

  Thanks in advance!

• 26. SEO Dave  |  November 7th, 2006 at 9:55 pm

  Probably the easiest way is to add some inline CSS like-

  h1 style=”font-color:red;”

  or something along those lines. You might have to use the style on the link a href rather than the H1 header-

  a style=”font-color:red;”

  A better solution is work out from the external stylesheets (there’s several with this theme) what affects the H1 header you want to change and make a new copy of them (within the stylesheet), but with a different class name.

  From the above you’ve already found them, so make a copy, give them a new class name and then give the H1 header that class via the header tpl file.

  h1 class=”newh1″

  That will mean only the H1 header at the top (logo type area) will be styled with that class and so none of the other headers/links will be effected.

  You’ll probably only have to copy the link (a) styling for colour changes (didn’t look).

  The images are under-

  images/spring_flavour/

  Though some colours are from the CSS files, there are 2 files to edit-

  layout.css
  spring_flavour.css

  style.css just loads the two stylesheets above.

  Hi David! I use this theme on my site walmartassistantspeaks and love it. I decided to use it on my homemaking site and ran into a problem with link categories - it doesn’t show them. Is there something I can do to get them back? I still show them in wp dashboard but not on the site view - it only has one “links” green bar and then they’re all listed after that in alpha rather than divided by categories.

  My apoligies if you’ve already answered this. I’m so new to doing this stuff myself and it takes me 100 times longer to learn how to do something! Heck it was almost 3 weeks before I learned how to change the adsense code to my own! LOL

• 28. Kelvin  |  November 29th, 2006 at 2:36 am

  Hi Dave,

  Need some advise from you again:)

  1. I try to put more Google Ad inside each article,
  modify index.php code:
  current_post ==0) include(”first-ad.php”); ?>

  current_post ==0 change to current_post >=0

  but only last three post showing AD. How can I make each post
  contain Ad.

  2. I use to make Blog Homepage short, but when I click category link, all post are still full size long. How can I make it display like Blog Homepage.

  Thanks a lot!

• 29. Kelvin  |  November 29th, 2006 at 2:42 am

  Sorry for the mistake!

  2. I use –MORE– to make Blog Homepage short, showing “click here the see full article”.

  But when I click category link, all post are still full size long. How can I make it display like Blog Homepage.

  Thanks!

• 30. Wz  |  December 8th, 2006 at 9:31 pm

  David, thanks for the free template .. i am playing around with it for my 1st wordpress blog. I would like to ask you how can i change those ad format that u have preset, because i would like to change the first ad into a horiztonal one.. Anyway, the template is awesome.!!

• 31. Ahamed  |  December 16th, 2006 at 11:43 am

  Great, I was searching something like this beauty and the beast power! Thanks.

  I have two question:

  1 - What is the actual differnce between the blix-adsense-seo-02 and blix-adsense-02 ? I tried both but could not find major difference?

  2 - I need to place the 1st unit on top of the first title, how can I do it?

• 32. SEO Dave  |  December 16th, 2006 at 10:12 pm

  WZ - Glad you like the template, to change the ad format you’ll need to edit the code of the template, they are relatively easy changes made via the WordPress Template editor or a text editor. The first AdSense unit is within the file first-ad.php for post pages (pages like the one you are reading now). For archive pages it’s within the code of the relevant page, just look for 250×250_as as that’s the size of the ad unit.

  Ahamed - The SEO version is the AdSense version with search engine optimization changes, things like better use of headers, better title element etc… for example if you look at this page where you add a comment you’ll see a header “Leave a Comment for WordPress Theme Blix with Google AdSense” the original theme is something like “Leave a Comment” so by using the SEO theme the title of the post is used more often, so if it includes relevant keywords the page is more likely to rank for those keywords.

  David

• 33. Ahamed  |  December 16th, 2006 at 11:52 pm

  Thanks for your clarificaions. I m using the SEO one. and following is one of my pages header source:

  » Hyundai Motor signs deal to sell Sonata taxis to Singapore

  First of all I don’t know why all the data starting with &raquo

  And I also assume that the keyword should have comma?

• 34. Ahamed  |  December 16th, 2006 at 11:55 pm

  Sorry, the header source that I cut and paste is not appearing in my earlier post, here is the file http://www.quickfiles.net/570316

• 35. SEO Dave  |  December 17th, 2006 at 12:18 am

  The &raquo is the >> characters you see on WordPress post titles etc…, basically a separator like a - or : Don’t worry about it, does no harm.

  The meta tags copies the content of the title element, which is why they are identical to the title, basically a quick way to get a meta description and meta keywords without having to write them via a plugin (there’s a plugin for unique meta tags). I do it this way even when writing static pages (not for WordPress) as they aren’t important to rankings (abused in the past).

  Since Google ignores the meta keywords tag and doesn’t use the description for ranking purposes there’s little point going to the trouble of writing unique ones.

  And no you don’t need commas for the meta keywords tag, spaces are acceptable. Again though Google ignores the meta keywords tag - http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/meta-tags-optimization/

• 36. Ahamed  |  December 17th, 2006 at 3:15 am

  Thanks for your usual prompt and detailed reply.

  My site is ranked as follows:
  MSN Search 3
  Google Not Found
  Yahoo! 17
  AltaVista 17

  Naturally, I don’t want to upset the MSN and Yahoo ranking where I am now and to get in to Google.

  My question is adjusting the meta information will it effect my MSN and Yahoo ranking?

• 37. SEO Dave  |  December 17th, 2006 at 9:16 am

  If your sites relatively new and low on backlinks it will be in what has been called the sandbox http://www.seo-gold.com/seo-tutorial/google-sandbox-effect/ basically Google relies heavily on links and currently it delays the FULL benefit from new links for a period of about a year.

  MSN and Yahoo don’t have a sandbox, they can take time to rank, but as they rely less on links things move quicker.

  Not checked recently, but Yahoo uses the meta keywords tag, MSN does not. So for Google and MSN what you do to the meta tags will have no effect, Yahoo a very small effect.

  Meta tags have been so abused in the past Google no longer uses them and Yahoo gives them very little weight that you could get away without using them. That said if there’s benefit to be had and it’s not going to take a lot of time you should use the meta keywords tag.

  Since the benefit to Yahoo is very small I doubt you’d notice a SERPs change if you removed or altered them.

  This is why I copy the title and forget about it.

• 38. CIO Jerry  |  January 17th, 2007 at 12:13 pm

  My site is new, so I think the SEO optmized theme is a better fit than the regular version. I just started using blix-adsense-seo-02 now. Unfortunately, the links to static pages don’t look on the home screen. In fact, it uses the blog title as the link text for the main tab while Links to all static pages are visible only when moused over. Is this by design? Or just my Firefox/1.5.0.9 under Linux is not supported?

• 39. SEO Dave  |  January 17th, 2007 at 12:34 pm

  Hey Jerry,

  The page links on the green search/navigation bar is part of the Blix theme. I don’t use pages like those much so haven’t looked into changing it so it adds the links to the menu (so this is Blix default behaviour).

  If you look at sidebar.php template file at the top you’ll see-

  * Pages navigation. Disabled by default because all new pages are added
  * to the main navigation.
  * If enabled: Blix default pages are excluded by default.

  I think to put the links on the menu only remove the

  /**

  and

  < ?php */

  above and below the text above (in that file).

  If it doesn’t work leave a comment and I’ll do some testing, got to pop out right now kids have a music lesson and I’m the taxi service

  I install your template yesterday and have a question. I noticed that the catagory section is appearing twice on my bloh. Oce at the top (above) my post and at the right side colum. I like the right side colum, how do I get rid of the category section appearing above my posts?

  Secondly, my adsense ads dont seem to be relevant to the theme of my blog. Can Dave or anyone help? the site is www winatmoney.com

  Thanks, Gary

• 42. SEO Dave  |  March 11th, 2007 at 7:21 am

  Hi Gary,

  Looks like you fixed the category problem, though none of your deeper pages work. Did you make the .htaccess file writable (777) and save the file created when you set Permalinks?

  The AdSense ads not matching content is normal at first, takes time for AdSense to learn your sites content. That said sometimes you can get some strange ads even 6+ months in, all depends on who is advertising at the time and if your content is matching what advertisers want.

  BTW liked your first post, sound a little like me about ~10yrs ago looking for someway to make money online, though I wasn’t working due to health problems (had to drop out of University just before final exams, back problems literally couldn’t SIT exams!). Will look forward to reading more when you fix the permalinks.

  Just installed your AdSense Connections on one of my blogs. No problems so far, but I changed the top image to suit the content (hipefully you don’t mind).
  But I can’t figure out how to add a favicon. As far as I know it needs to be added into header.php in between head tags, but this particular theme has nearly empty header.php so I don’t know where to put a link to favicon…

  I just love the way you’ve integrated the adsense code into your posts. Only showing it for the first post, but still being able to display it for individual post pages using one line of code. Brilliant!

  Its not actually coding it, but coming up with that concept, however simple it might seem in hindsight that makes me truly admire you!

• 54. sid  |  September 27th, 2007 at 9:55 pm

  great theme. i left you adsense id in most of the day, hope it helped

• 55. SEO Dave  |  October 2nd, 2007 at 11:20 am

  There’s a simple fix for the header problem, edit the layout.css file and find-

  /*display:none; This will hide the text in your header */

  Below it change

  padding-top:50px;

  to

  padding-top:50px;
  padding-bottom:10px;

  This adds a little padding below the header fixing the problem. This fix is added to the version 03 theme at Blix with AdSense + SEO 03 which is available for a small fee.

  I’m using the version 03 theme on the site right now.

  David

• 56. SEO Dave  |  October 4th, 2007 at 11:31 am

  This site is now using a new version of Blix with AdSense + SEO (version 03) which can be found at Blix Theme with AdSense and SEO 03.

  The SEO optimisation of the new theme is much better, view source of this page and note how the first H1 header is no longer the blogs name, but the title of the post (from an SEO perspective much better).

  View source of the home page or a monthly archive page and you get the original H1 type header (linking to the main page). These pages have no real keyword focus (home page should focus on the keywords used to name the blog). Category pages have the category name as the H1 header since that’s the main keyword/phrase those pages should be targeting.

  I never liked how WordPress themes used a H1 header on all pages this way (not a good SEO use of them), but a solution didn’t come to me until recently.

  I had similar misgivings about using headers on the menu as well, usually you’ll find a H2 (sometimes H3 or H4) headers used for sections on the menu. Unfortunately the sections names aren’t keywords (Pages, Archives, Categories, Blogroll, Meta etc…) and so the header SEO benefit was wasted.

  This SEO problem is fixed in the new Blix theme (03) and all version 03 themes on the site above. Now menu sections receive no SEO benefit from headers allowing us to use a full set of headers within our posts for maximum SEO benefit.

  Not upgraded to 2.3 yet, so can’t be sure. Can say the Blix theme available for free from this page has problems with WordPress 2.2 and so expect the same problems with WordPress 2.3.

  I’ve added various fixes that make Blix compatible with WordPress version 2.2 at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/wordpress-theme-blix-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html and when I upgrade to WordPress 2.3 will fix any problems it generates (don’t anticipate any problems though).

  I’m no longer updating any of the themes on this site, so I’m afraid if you want the AdSense/SEO version that’s compatible with WordPress 2.* you’ll need to buy it from my other site.

  Hey David!

  I have just installed your theme on my blog, thanks.
  Is there any way I can add AdSense criteria methods so that I know what earnings are coming specifically from this blog?

  Thanks!

  this is a nice themes does it work with 2.3

• 62. SEO Dave  |  December 26th, 2007 at 3:12 pm

  Yes it works with WordPress 2.3, but with problems.

  You’ll loose your about links (the page type links) and there’s a few small problems with the menu.

  I’ve fixed these problems in version 03 that can be found http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/wordpress-theme-blix-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html for a small fee.

  Sorry, but the free themes on this site will no longer be updated, but will always be free.

  Very Nice. I think it’s one of your better themes

  Besides duplicating my content to make money off of my efforts, violating my copyrights, and possibly eliminating my site from the search engines as duplicate content, exactly what is it that you’re doing?

• 65. SEO Dave  |  January 29th, 2008 at 2:17 am

  Don what are you referring to exactly?

  Everything on this site is created by me except for the original code from the themes (which I don’t think you mean) that I used to make the AdSense themes.

  Edit: If you find one of my AdSense themes being used on a site that is infringing copyright that’s not one of my sites. Thousands of webmasters have downloaded this theme and I’m sure some have used them to scrape content from other blogs like yours ignoring copyright notices. That is not the same as me setting up a blog to scrape content though.

  Really nice theme. I’m going to give it a go on my blog. Keep up the great work!

  Hey dave i have been trying to upload some of your themes into my bluehost server but in some of them such as prosence, kubrick, ocadia, coneccion with google adsense and all of them are not working for me: everytime that i upload them i get this message:
  Broken Themes

  The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.

  Do you have any suggestions?

• 68. King Edwardo  |  April 1st, 2008 at 3:12 am

  Hello all,

  please allow me to get down to business… I installed the theme pack in the theme directory. All of my themes are showing up but this one… I have attempted to install it on two of my sites and I am getting the same thing… Any suggestions?

• 69. Héctor  |  April 6th, 2008 at 2:05 am

  Hi Dave,

  thanks for this Theme, I’m using version 2. I promised myself making some adsense from it and then upgrade to v3.

  Thanks

  I have not tried the free WordPress themes (called version 02) on this site in a 2.2, 2.3 or 2.5 WordPress installation because I use my version 03 AdSense/SEO themes at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/ on all my own sites and don’t really have the free time to keep the free AdSense themes up to date (in that time could build a new version 3 AdSense/SEO theme).

  The free version 2 themes are good, the version 3 themes are great.

  If you want the very best AdSense/SEO theme I’m afraid your going to have to buy it from my site above. I’ve put a LOT of work into the latest versions and can’t give them away for free anymore.

  Fortunately I get quite a lot of orders so can keep the price low (£8 a AdSense theme is a bargain). If you can’t afford £8 to increase your AdSense income you are not serious about making money from AdSense (that £8 will the recuperated in no time).

  I am trying to install a new theme in word press 2.0 but any theme i chose it comes up with an error “Broken Theme” and “style.css is unreadable”.
  Any comments much appreciated.

  Thank you for this theme! I am surely going to install this onto my blog when I migrate to the new server.
