Almost Spring with Targeted Google AdSense and SEO WordPress theme has been tested on WordPress 2.* including 2.0 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6.5, 2.7, 2.7.1, 2.8. 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.8.3, 2.8.4, 2.8.5, 2.8.6, 2,9, 2.91, 2.92, 3.0 and WordPress 3.1 and no issues found.
When WordPress updates again Almost Spring will be tested and any problems will be fixed (this is also the case for all WordPress themes sold on this site).
The Almost Spring design (A two column theme. Light and simple with greens and oranges.) is a very popular WP theme and a WordPress AdSense + SEO theme I’ve used on many WordPress blogs (Blix and Almost Spring are two of my favourite AdSense themes).
When I first started converting WordPress themes to be AdSense ready and SEO friendly this was one of the first I worked on.

WordPress Almost Spring theme with Google AdSense and SEO Optimisation
The first screenshot shows the home page of a site using Almost Spring. You can see two of the three Google AdSense ad units in the screenshot, a 250×250 ad unit that floats to the right at the top of the content of the first post only and you can see the top of the sidebar ad unit.
Note: with the version 03 WordPress AdSense themes from this site the ad unit sizes are editable, so if 250×250 AdSense unit within the content is too big in your opinion, it’s easily changed.
The second screenshot shows a single post page, this is where individual posts are shown (like the page you are reading now). You can see the floating ad unit again, the top of the vertical 160×600 ad unit on the right menu and the large 336×280 ad unit at the bottom. More content a post has (or comments) further down the page the last ad unit is found (so most pages won’t appear this cramped, great for taking a screenshot though 
).
In my experience it’s these pages that will create most AdSense revenue, especially the 250×250 square unit within the main blog post content (it’s a real hot area and if you want max AdSense revenue keep it at 250×250).

Almost Spring with AdSense + SEO Installation Instructions
1. Unzip the Almost Spring zip file.
2. Edit the file adsense.php within the /almost-spring-adsense-seo-03/ folder to include your Google AdSense code (read the readme.txt file for more details, very easy to do).
Note: Adding your unique Google AdSense publisher code (your pub-##### number) is the ONLY required change needed to the entire Almost Spring AdSense + SEO theme to make the theme ready to turn your WordPress blog into an AdSense residual income stream.
3. Upload the entire folder to your WordPress themes directory (via FTP, just like any other theme you’ve tried out).
4. Log into your blogs dashboard and under Presentation select the new “Almost Spring AdSense + SEO 03″ WordPress theme and you are done.
The Almost Spring AdSense + SEO theme out the box uses blended ad unit colours and large ad units for maximum CTR/AdSense revenue (like all WordPress AdSense themes on this site). If you wish to change unit colours and/or ad unit dimensions this can be achieved by editing just one file. If you don’t like the 250×250 sized ad unit for example, no problem a few minor changes and you could have a smaller 180×150 ad unit. Don’t like image ads, again no problem specify text only ads. Also checkout the /alt/ folder where you will find an alternative adsense.php file that uses smaller ad unit sizes (try it out, see what you think).
Search Engine Optimization
I’ve worked as an SEO consultant for around 10 years and guarantee you will not find better search engine optimization WordPress themes (free or premium WordPress SEO theme) online today than my WordPress SEO themes.
Most WordPress themes aren’t too bad SEO wise when downloaded directly from their original creators, but there are always improvements that can be made for maximum SEO impact and the Almost Spring theme was no different.
The Almost Spring AdSense + SEO theme (like all WordPress themes on this site) includes-
Optimized title elements (and meta tags, though they aren’t very important these days). Take a look at the title of this page, (this site uses a AdSense + SEO WordPress themes) note it’s keyword rich and lacks the name of the site (for SEO reasons).
Optimised headers, for example on blog post pages like this one the name of the blog is NOT within a H1 header, (every WP theme I’ve used has a H1 header that holds a link to home page). Instead the title of the post is within the H1 header and the link to home is only a H1 header on pages that lack a true keyword focus like the monthly archive pages.
Optimised anchor text of links.
Support for the Free WordPress SEO Plugins on this site.
Basically optimised everything I could which makes the WP themes on this site the most optimised WordPress themes online.
Compatible with WordPress 2.0, WordPress 2.1, WordPress 2.2, WordPress 2.3, WordPress 2.5, WordPress 2.6, WordPress 2.7, WordPress 2.8, WordPress 2.9, WordPress 3 and WordPress 3.1. Will be updated for WordPress 3.* etc…

SEO-Dave, Your WordPress themes with AdSense and SEO are brilliant. I have been using you Almost Spring template and the result has been more traffic and more clicks.
I have two questions:
1) I have had a on and off love affair with social bookmark plugins. Do you think these are worth having on a blog for SEO purposes?
2) I am going to take a break from Adsense. Is there an easy way to use your Almost Spring with Targeted AdSense template for SEO, but turn off Adsense (and keep it looking nice)? that is keep the SEO aspect of Almost Spring, but not the Adsense?
Almost Spring WordPress AdSense and SEO Theme
Glad your finding the theme helpful.
Easy to turn the ads off by editing your adsense.php file.
Find-
define(AdsenseOn,1);Change to
#define(AdsenseOn,1);Save and upload and Google ads will no longer be there.
That leaves one minor problem that’s either ignorable or removable.
After doing this the Adverts section on the menu will still be there, though no AdSense ad will be under it (little irritating).
To remove this menu item load sidebar.php into a text editor and delete or better yet comment out the code responsible. Made it easy to comment out
Find:
/* AdSense Code Start */Change to
/* AdSense Code StartSave and upload and that section will vanish.
If you use widgets also load functions.php in a text editor and repeat the changes for that file.
Actually if you use widgets forget editing those files just remove the widget from your sidebar through the widgets options.

Almost Spring WordPress AdSense and SEO Theme
I have just bought this template to help me with www.mydiyguide.co.uk and find it excellent. I struggled initially to get things up and running and had to email SEO-Dave. Dave was extremely helpful, replying quickly to emails and walking me through the setup process, even helping me customise things on the site.
I would recommend using any of these templates -- money well spent!
Dave, I am using wordpress 2.6 with Almost spring targeted adsense and SEO 03 (I think this is your latest version) -- after I updated to wordpress 2.6 I do not see my ‘subpages’ only my ‘parent pages’. ( http://www.learnrussianlearnrussian.com ). When I change themes to the wordpress default it works but with your theme (which I think yours adsense themes are the best on the market, and I recommend your themes to all) I only see the parent pages. Do you know what I should do? and thank you for such effective SEOed themes.
Almost Spring WordPress AdSense and SEO Theme
I made a website by dreamweaver, could I put adsense within my website? When I tried put in, but I couldn’t
i am just starting out with Google Adsense. i am hoping that i would earn a good deal of money on this program.
Hi Dave, Do you know when you will, or if you will update Almost Spring to 04?
Best regards
It was a LOT of effort converting Talian to version 4 and I currently don’t have the free time to update another theme yet, I want to update them all long term.
I’m currently updating all my WordPress sites after a hacker got FTP passwords to some of them and for ease I’m changing all to run on Talian 04 until I get around to updating the other themes.
David Law
Dave, thank you the reply. I will probably buy your Talian theme anyway as I think it is your workhorse in terms on Adsense templates. I think you mentioned this has a night click rate.
For me it took about one day for my theme I bought from you to pay for itself.
I usually recommend you to people, I am curious why some people actually do not take my advice and buy your themes as the return on investment is high. I am not trying to make you look good, rather I am grateful. Since I bought your theme(s) I have a nice income stream.
I am sorry to hear about the hack. It is a royal pain. I am lucky only one of my sites was hacked, spammer set links up on my site and Google.com banned it.
Almost Spring WordPress AdSense and SEO Theme
Is this theme, along with others you produce, compatible with the latest version of WP and any plugin that may be required for them to work correctly?
My WordPress themes work with WordPress 3.0.4 (latest stable version) without any known issues.
Have an issue with WordPress 3.1 RC1 with Talian 5, the new WordPress Multisite 3.1 admin menu (shows for logged in users all the time!) is messing up the display a little**. I fixed the problem only for WordPress development to change it to another format that messed it up again, so waiting for just before the release before fixing it again.
**They’ve only gone and forced 28px padding at the top of the page so they can fit in an admin menu (will show on pages like this one if you own the blog and are logged in) which means any themes using absolute positioning (that’s a LOT of themes) will be messed up, then they changed it to 28px margin which might be worse (I’d added a fix for the padding problem, but it doesn’t work for margin).
Not sure what you mean about plugins? The themes don’t need any WordPress plugins to work.

ads
Hi,Dave..i’ve just used the Almost Spring theme. How can I remove the ads?
Disabling AdSense Ads in Almost Spring Theme
For Almost Spring theme you edit the adsense.php file and add a # sign in front of
define(AdsenseOn,1);Change to
#define(AdsenseOn,1);That will disable all the AdSense ad units.
If you wish to disable individual ads it’s changing a few 0s to 1s at the bottom of the file.
