Created a new version of Blix with a Blue colour scheme at Blue Blix SEO/AdSense Theme. Blue Blix is this theme with blue colours AND a slightly wider (90px extra) content area allowing the use of the 336×280 AdSense ad unit at the top of the content.
Blix is Widget compatible, works with the new widget feature added to WordPress 2.3 (no theme editing needed).
Targeted AdSense Coding: New option from Google AdSense, we’ve incorporated this feature into all of our WP themes including Blix. The targeted AdSense coding can not be used with popular AdSense addons for WordPress, unless you edit your theme manually.
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.
WordPress Blix theme with Google AdSense and SEO Optimisation
The first screenshot shows the home page of Blix theme. You can see one of the three Google AdSense ad units in the screenshot, this is a 250×250 ad unit that floats to the right at the top of the content of the first post only for those using the Blix template.
This location is one of the most clicked areas (AdSense hot zone) and so by utilising this location this ad unit almost always performs well.
You will find the same ad units and placement for all pages of the blog, which will maximise AdSense revenue.
The second screenshot shows a single post page, this is where individual posts are shown (like the page you are reading now).
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).
Further down the page is the third and final ad unit, out the box it’s set at 336×280 (large rectangle to catch leaving visitors), but there’s an easy to use options page where ad unit sizes and colours can be changed, so changing the size doesn’t need a PHP programmer or anything 
.

Blix with AdSense + SEO Installation Instructions
1. Unzip the zip file.
2. Edit the file adsense.php within the /blix-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 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 Blix theme and you are done.
The Blix AdSense + SEO theme out the box uses blended ad unit colours and large ad units for maximum CTR/AdSense revenue. 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.
Search Engine Optimization and WordPress 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 Blix theme was no different.
The Blix AdSense + SEO ready theme includes-
Optimized title elements (and meta tags, though they aren’t very important these days). Take a look at the title of this page, note it’s keyword rich and lacks the name of the site (for SEO reasons). This SEO coding is used on all version 03 WordPress themes from this site.
Optimised headers, for example on blog post pages like this one the name of the blog is NOT within a H1 header, (every theme I’ve used has a H1 header that holds a link to home page, this is not good SEO wise). 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. On category pages the category name is used for the H1 header.
Optimised anchor text of links.
All in all a well optimised AdSense ready theme.
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….

Hi,a few questions I hope you can help me with:
1)My blog is on a page within a website that has other non-blog pages. How do I add a link on the Blix horizontal navigation to link back to my website’s home page (in addition to the blog home link that is already in the Blix theme)?
2)How do I add a rotating banner image in place of the aqua default banner?
Thanks.
hellooo -- ordered 3 days ago -- haven’t received the files…
Ordered on 12/28/08, STILL have not received the files. Is anyone else having this issue? Have checked my spam folder and there is nothing there either. Please contact me. Will check back here on 1/4/09.
Hi Carol,
Sorry for the delay responding, I’d not checked the held for moderation comments (WordPress treated your comment as SPAM!) on the site for over a week, so missed your comments.
First I realized there was a problem was when I got your dispute email from PayPal! Would have been helpful to send an email or two as I assume a theme has arrived after I send the email. If a customer emails me with the issue I’ll get the theme to them.
Anyway, Blix theme was sent immediately, so either it was filtered by your email software, your ISP filtered it directly (apparently some do that!) or it got lost (which is extremely rare). If your ISP is to blame I need an alternative email address (Gmail or Yahoo for example)to send the theme to again. Please include your original email address with the email message that includes the alternative email since anyone could send an email saying it’s you.
In the meantime I’ve resent the theme and responded to your PayPal dispute.
As a side note this is the second PayPal dispute this month already due to apparent non-delivery! If anyone is trying this on to get the themes free be aware I will get the theme to you one way or another, once I send the theme out by email there are no refunds. If a customer says it didn’t arrive it will be resent until it does arrive, worse case scenario I’ll provide a temporary download link.
If the theme doesn’t match your needs unfortunately there are no refunds since you can not return a digital product.

Hi David,
Glad we got that all sorted out. As you know now, my ISP switched to a new email platform and due to a “feature” (bug) is not receiving emails from some domains.
I have 3 questions:
1) I only want to display 3 text ads in the right sidebar and turn off all the ads in the center area of the page. What do I need to change to do this?
2)How do I add a new box, divider and link on the Blix horizontal navigation? I want an additional link to my site’s home page and also a link to another area of my site.
3) How do I replace the banner image at the top of the blog page?
Thanks.

BTW I helped Carol solve the customization issues by email, Carol went with a red Blix colouration which was interesting. Inspired me to look at creating different colours of Blix.
Working on Blue Blix that I’ve uploaded to http://www.chileblogs.com/
You would not believe how long it took to get working correctly! In the original Blix there’s three css files, style.css which then loads layout.css and spring_flavour.css.
Decided to combine the three into one css file (style.css), but it turns out this results in a bug where the line image that separates the right sidebar from the left content also shows a line above the logo header!
It took something like 5 hours of code editing and double checking EVERYTHING to realise the cause was due to combining the three files!! After turning it back to three files worked perfectly.
When complete (just have to write a sales page, make screenshots etc…) will sell it as well on this site.

I got the new Blue Blix finished and have added a new sales page at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/blue-blix-seo-and-adsense-wordpress-2-7-theme.html
Other than the colour changes I also made the theme 90px wider so the wider 336×280 ad unit could be used at the top of the content: with original Blix version 336×280 ad unit is too wide, so 250x250 is advised.
Some people prefer to use the largest ad units, so now Blix can support both.
Wasn’t that hard to make the changes, so might add the option (extra file, the header image has to be wider) with the original Blix with AdSense/SEO.
Will be interesting to see which version of Blix sells most long term.

Love the look, but have two problems. First The right sidebar is pushed to the bottom in Firefox. Second, my Adsense skyscraper wont show up in the sidebar. Any thought to why this would be. Looks fine in IE other than the adsense problem. biodieselfromcorn.com
Thanks
Hi Shawn
After spending 30 minutes looking for a code problem in version 03 of Blix I noticed you are running the old version 02 of Blix with AdSense and SEO: would have been better to post on the other site or at least say it’s not the version sold here!
I no longer offer support for version 02 of my AdSense themes (which were free), unfortunately I don’t have the time to update two sets of themes and to be brutally honest it’s not in my best interests to keep them up to date.
Can say the paid for version works perfectly in Firefox and a year or two ago so did version 02.
If you find a fix feel free to post a comment on the other site for others to benefit from.

is this theme compatible to 2.8 ? the latest version. thankx
Yes Blix with AdSense/SEO is compatible with WordPress 2.8, 2.8.1, 2.8.2 and 2.8.3 and will be updated if anything breaks in the future.
David Law
Cool WordPress 2.8 is out, not tried the stable release of WordPress 2.8 so don’t know yet.
If there are problems will fix it ASAP.
Will try out 2.8 tomorrow.
David Law
Decided to upgrade a couple of WordPress blogs to 2.8 before I went to sleep
Upgraded this site (site your on now runs WordPress) with no problems, so I know Talian works fine.
Also updated another site running a red version of Blix that I’ve not released yet, (similar to Blue Blix, but Red). Since Blue Blix and Red Blix are Blix with different colours this Blix should work fine in WordPress 2.8.
Will update http://www.morearnings.com/ which runs original colour Blix with AdSense/SEO in the morning, I don’t expect problems.
Will update this page to say it Blix runs in WordPress 2.8 fine after upgrading multiple WordPress blogs running Blix, as then will have found any issues if there are any to find.

hi Template Creator,
can i have the latest version of the blix? like the more earmings.. i got the old version.. im your customer.. thanks.. =)
Updates are sent out automatically to the email address you ordered with. If you lost the zip file or something email me via the email address you ordered with and I’ll send the latest version (will only send to the email you ordered with).
Little update: Working on adding the recent comment functions to all themes, paginated comments pages and ability to reply to individual comments, but there’s a major SEO issue with using it right now. Trying to get the WordPress development team to make a change in one of the core files to remove the SEO issue. Until then can’t add the new comment functions as it’s REALLY bad SEO wise if you add them.

Hello,
I have bought your “Blix Adsense and Seo” template 5 days ago. You say in here it would be sent within 24 hours, if no billing issue occurrs (which is my case: no problem happened, payment was effective immediately). But so far I have got nothing. I have sent an e-mail to you (to the address you have registered on PayPal), and as well I got no answer. So I’m here wondering if you could kindly send me the template zip.
Please check your e-mail account and you’ll find out the details of my purchase. My e-mail is the one i used on this post, my receipt number is 3235-16**-****-0365 (stars were used to avoid other people getting my purchase details; for further information, please contact me through my e-mail).
Thank you and best regards,
Ana Maria.

I received the order and sent it out within 24 hours. Also got your second email and responded to it with an alternative email address (domain is on the same server though) with the theme attached, so looks like it’s the entire server that’s getting marked as SPAM not just single domains now!
As you can see from other comments and other pages of the site I have a big problem with my emails being filtered as SPAM despite never sending a single SPAM email in my like (really sucks).
First check your spam folder for the emails, one will have the subject: “Payment Received -- Theme Attached” with an email address matching this domain (Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:51:19 +0100).
Second email was a reply to your follow up email (subject: Buying your template) with another email address from this domain nightlife-london.com.
If your email software automatically extracts attachment look for the file blix-adsense-seo-03.zip on your hard drive as well.
Some ISPs are filtering emails and never delivering them, so if you don’t find those emails that is probably the case here.
In which case I’ll need an alternative email address to send the theme. Hotmail and Gmail accounts seem to be OK for example.
Make sure you use the order email address to send the alternative email address so I know it’s you. It’s important to have an email address I can send emails to since I give free updates.
Sorry about this, really sucks that a lot of my emails are filtered, plays havoc with my main business!
David Law

No problem. I sent another e-mail to you, informing a new e-mail address (the same I informed here on this post).
Thank you!
Hi,
Got your email and sent the theme to the Hotmail address and cc’d to the original address because I also just got one of the emails I sent you returned with this message:
host mx.xxx.xxx.xx[xxx.xxx.xx.xxx] said: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [xxx.xx.xxx.xxx] (in reply to RCPT TO command)Included the full message with the email I just sent. So might not be a SPAM problem for once, but a email failure at yours or my end (I don’t know what the error meant).
Hopefully you’ll have the theme now
Thanks again for the order and let me know which email address works for updates.

Hi David,
Is there a version of blix for version 3.0.1 yet?
I have just upgraded and would like to buy your theme.
Will
This version of Blix works fine with WordPress 3.0 and WordPress 3.01 (been tested, no issues found).
I’d not got around to updating the sales pages
David
Hi,
I would like to buy this beautiful theme.But,i need to know,how can i change the color of the theme layout?..How many colors are possible for the blix theme other than your default color and blue color layout?
Can you just mail me?..thanks
It wasn’t easy to change the Blix colour scheme, which is why I’ve only created the Blue Blix version and a Red one I didn’t finish.
So it’s not easy.
David
hey,
i would like to see demo sites using your blue blix and others,The sites which you gave,are all using brown color for the theme.
Hai,, I ask,, is there free templates,,
Yes there are free templates, see the home page for links to them.
