BIG Talian 05 Update Many New Theme Features
New admin menu (screenshot to right) for Talian 05, no more editing the adsense.php file to add your Google AdSense Publisher ID. All major settings are available directly through the WordPress Dashboard.
The screenshot of the new Talian 05 admin page shows just a small sample of the 40+ options available!
Add Clickbank AdSense style ads to your blog.
Talian 05 is the only AdSense ready WordPress theme or even AdSense WordPress plugin that allows the users to set Google AdSense Channels for tracking the performance of specific ads without template file editing. Add up to 6 Google AdSense channels via the new Talian admin page (one for each of the 6 ad units available) and track which AdSense setup works best for your sites.
Set the colour of both the AdSense and Clickbank ads directly from your WordPress Dashboard.
Don’t like the ads floating to the right of the main content, float them to the left instead, same for the Clickbank ads.
Just want to use Talian 05 as an SEO WordPress theme or even SEO CMS, a few clicks on the Talian 05 admin menu and NO AdSense or Clickbank ads will show and you can even remove the date when a post was made (so your site doesn’t look like a blog).
Don’t like the default banner images, no problems, choose from 10 banner sets (100 banner images in total) or why not create your own and choose them from the Talian 05 admin screen.
Banners don’t really work for your site, turn them off completely with two clicks of the mouse.
Bored of the default orange and green Talian colour scheme, choose from 8 preset colour schemes including Red (used on this site), Blue, Blue/Orange, Yellow etc…
Track your sites traffic with Google Analytics, just add the UA code (supplied by Google Analytics for each domain you register) for the domain to the admin screen and the rest is dealt with by Talian 05.
Above is just a sample of the new options available with the built in admin panel.
Talian 05 Feature List Overview
- Search Engine Optimized Code (second best SEO WordPress theme in the world today!).
- Built in AdSense ads with easy to use options (no editing multiple theme files) : one click to turn on/off.
- Built in Clickbank ads (they look like AdSense ads) with easy to use options (no editing multiple theme files) : one click to turn on/off.
- Fully widgetized theme.
- Targeted AdSense Coding.
- Multiple theme colour schemes.
- Multiple banner schemes with easy to use customisation.
- Built in Google Analytics Code : just add your Google Analytics UA code (no template editing).
- Ability to change comments into search engine indexable ‘blog like posts’ using a customised version of the SEO Super Comments plugin (only works with Talian 05).
- Custom widget template file: add your own widgets (sidebar menu items) without touching the functions.php file making it easier to customise your site without the hassle of lots of code work when a new update is released.
- Two sitemap options, basic sitemap listing blog posts and blog pages and an advanced sitemap with the above plus links to the latest 100 comments (used on this site in the top navigation menu).
- Navigation menu looking messy, turn it off completely or exclude some blog pages.
- Turn the ability of your commenter’s to add an author link on/off and turn current author links on/off.
- Turn the date you made a post on or off, particularly useful if you use WordPress as an SEO CMS (content management system) rather than a blog.
Talian 05 Colour Scheme Screenshots
Below is a selection (there are more) of the available Talian 05 colour schemes, click an image for full size view.
Through rigorous testing I’ve found Talian to be the best AdSense theme from a CTR (click through rate) perspective, with a CTR on some sites above 6%. Talian is the ONLY WordPress theme I currently use on my own WordPress websites, it’s that good (I have over 70 WordPress installations: slowly updating to Stallion 6).
WordPress Talian theme with Google AdSense, Clickbank and SEO Optimisation
Take a look at Adventure Travel Vacations for a website currently using the Talian theme with a high AdSense CTR (recently update the site to the Stallion SEO Theme).
The first screenshot shows a home page of a Talian 05 theme running site. You can see one of the three Google AdSense ad units in the screenshot, this is the ad unit that floats to the right (or left, change via the admin menu) at the top of the content of the first post only. You can also see the sidebar AdSense widget that can be placed anywhere on the two sidebars (I find the top left works best for this AdSense ad unit).
I’ve looked at many other WordPress themes that include AdSense and other than a copy cat (someone copied the code of an earlier version of Blix 02 with AdSense/SEO theme of mine and called it BlixKrieg) no one uses this technique of floating an Ad unit within the content of the first post of archive pages (home page, category, tag and search pages). This location is one of the most clicked areas (AdSense hot zone), 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.
Further down the page (not on the screenshot) is the third and final ad unit, out the box the Talian 05 AdSense ad unit is set at 468×60, the size of all ad units can be changed manually via the adsense.php file in a text editor, so changing the size doesn’t need a PHP programmer or anything 
.

Search Engine Optimization Information
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 this theme was no different.
The Talian AdSense/Clickbank + SEO 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).
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). 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. This is the first WordPress theme that I thought to do this and it results in significant SEO improvements.
Optimised anchor text of almost all automatically generated links.
Links to unimportant pages (from an SEO perspective) like the log in links (those links waste a LOT of PR/link benefit) are no longer wasting link benefit.
Basically optimised everything I could which makes this the most optimised WordPress theme I’ve edited so far.
Make a PayPal payment for $50.00 for Talian 05 using the PayPal button. After payment you’ll receive an email (within minutes) with an instant download link of the zipped Talian SEO 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, WordPress 3.1 and WordPress 3.2.

The Talian theme looks great. Do you create custom themes? Please contact me if you do. Thank you.
I don’t make custom themes, mainly because adding AdSense/SEO takes so much time (would cost £100s at my SEO rates).
I’m adding more WordPress themes to the site over time (hard to find the time) so if there’s one you want AdSense/SEO added to tell me where to find it and you never know. No promises though, some themes aren’t suitable and I usually** only convert what I’ll use on my own sites.
** two youngest sons persuaded me to convert themes for them for http://www.animal-forum.co.uk/ and http://www.bigfeature.org/. Oh and the wife got me to convert a theme for http://www.3d-images.ws/

WordPress SEO Theme Talian 5 with AdSense/Clickbank Ads
Hi Dave,
I couldn’t find a contact page for the SEO plugins post. So I’ll ask here.
I installed the “related” plugin and clicked the script and it failed (i think the path is off) Your instructions refer to a read me file. There isn’t one in the plugin folder. Can you point me in the right direction?
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
Looks like I managed to create a Related Posts zip file that lacked the readme file!
I’ve uploaded a new zip file (same download link on the plugins page) which included the text file as well.
The script install bit your having problems with is to do with MySQL administration rights, last dedicated server I had this script failed, with the server I use now no problem at all. So depends on your servers setup.
There’s a fix (in the readme text file) as long as you can access MySQL through something like phpmyadmin.

can i get this package for $20 =( im low on budget
¨
I bought this template; my blog written in Portuguese. The translator does not have the option to English. Why?
I need to translate English
Wouldn’t be possible for me to add a your language to English as a translation link since it’s assumed the blog will be English with regards the translation links and so when you click a translation link it translates from English to chosen language. You could edit the translation links for another language though (rather than from English, from your language)a case of editing the code a bit.
That being said in version 4 of Talian with AdSense/SEO I’ve removed the translation links because of SEO reasons. Also advise anyone still using version 3 of Talian to remove the translation widget. Google no longer honors nofollow links as it should!

Can you optimize a theme for me ? Like add adsense + seo optimisation
Troy: sorry the price is fixed. I don’t do custom work per se, but point me at a theme and if I like it (for my use) I might convert it and add it to this site.
cilene: I added translation links to the Google translations you see on the top left menu you see above. If you want to add more it’s not that hard.
Unfortunately can’t add translation links to all translations available as would make the theme files too big! So went with the main ones.
That being said, I should add English (all my sites are English, so never thought about that).
Give me a few days and I’ll update the template and if you bought a copy you’ll get an updated zip file in a few days time.
Might be a little longer as need to install WordPress 2.6 on a few blogs and test the themes to make sure they haven’t created any new problems for me to fix.
They should work fine as the big changes came in 2.3 and 2.5, though you never know until you try.
If there are problems a fix will be sent out soon.

I just upgraded to WordPress 2.6.1 and the LINKS widget no longer works with Talian 1.0 if I pay for this upgrade will it work correctlY/
My version of Talian is used on this site and as you can see there’s links on the menu and I use widgets, so yes to the links widget question.

Hi
Please confirm that the image at the top can be changed on your templates.
Thanks
Mark
Hi
Can the images in your templates/themes be easily edited? Also, can the colors of the header and colors of the widget headings be changed?
Thanks Mark
With regards editing the theme, yes it’s possible to change the Talian theme, how much depends on your skill level and what you plan to change.
The mountain/desert image near the top is very easy to change. Go to the images folder within the Talian folder and find the someimage.gif and replace it with your image.
As long as your image is a gif and named someimage.gif with the dimensions 480 by 120 that’s all you have to do.
The other images like the ones that create the orange and green stripes are also found in the images folder, would be quite easy to edit, for example the menu headers are created from the image h2navbg.gif, load it in Paintshop Pro or something and make yourself a new version and upload over the original images.
Don’t forget to backup your original images.

Are you going to have an update? I need a feature that will let me use separate adsense channels for each page. How can I accomplish this?
Thank you
Boris,
I’ve not had to update the themes since April 2008 because nothing has broken as WordPress has updated.
I’ve been meaning to do some maintenance type update, plan to check all the current template tags used to make sure none have depreciated.
Not an important task as currently WordPress still supports depreciated template tags, but rather update all the tags so if they ever stop using a tag or the updated tag gets a new feature rather have the themes ready to go.
With regards the channels on every post, that’s not going to be possible with the current coding of the AdSense themes. I think it would be a major task to add this as a feature to the themes to be honest.
Couldn’t you use the URL channel feature within AdSense?
I use URL channels to track all my domains including specific directories where I’ve installed something. You could do this on a page by page basis for most of your pages.
Only problem with this way of tracking pages is if your site has similar file names like-
example.com/filename
example.com/filename1
example.com/filename12
If you setup an AdSense URL channel to track the first file name it will track all three and anything else with example.com/filename as the start of the URL. A URL channel for example.com/filename1 will not track the first page, but will track the latter two pages.
So yes you can theoretically track a site page by page this way, but if your site has a file name format like the one above some pages won’t be tracked singularly.
I very much doubt I’ll try to add the post level channels to the themes, hope the other suggestion helps.
Hope this helps

Hello,
My first question is in relation to google adsense. First, with more than one website, I want to utilise my google channels to see whats working. Is it easy to add my own google codes to related files, just so long as I select the same dimensions for the google ad?
Also is it easy to add my ‘extras’ such as mybloglog etc to the sidebar code without creating lots of XHTML errors?
Think of me as a newbie who doesn’t have a clue about PHP coding. Keep it simple! When editing the sidebar text, if I saw ‘enter your html / javascript codes below’ I’d know it probably wouldnt cause viewing problems I did’nt know how to fix.
My site:
http://www.aid-renegade.com
I run wordpress 2.7 & my current theme (my second) messes up access to my RSS / comments Feeds. After 5 days I’ve had enough of waiting for a solution. Now my angle is ‘you get what you pay for’. Happy to pay your modest fee if the above conditions are met. I’m UK based & can discuss by mobile if easier, just use the email provided.
WordPress SEO Theme Talian 5 with AdSense/Clickbank Ads
I’ve not had any rss feed problems with the themes.
Unfortunately the way the themes have to be setup so anyone can use them (all AdSense options are held within one file) means it’s not possible to add individual channels, at least not to the ad level, so you can’t track the sidebar ads or the top content ads.
That being said you don’t need channel tracking via the themes to track AdSense domain wide (or even page wise) since there’s the URL channels which can be used to achieve your needs.
Another commenter asked about this and I explained how URL channels work in my last comment above.
As you can see you can pretty much track anything via URL channels. Also using URL channels requires NO theme editing, you setup a URL channel under your Google AdSense account, so no setting up specific ad codes within the theme.
Editing AdSense options.
There’s an extra page included with the themes, adsense.php which you edit all the AdSense settings (ad size, colours etc…).
So if you want a top content ad that’s 468 x 60 instead of the default you edit that one file (full easy to follow instructions included).
There’s only one tiny edit required to make it work for you, change my AdSense publisher ID for yours within adsense.php and your good to go. All other edits are optional.
Editing the sidebar is no different to editing the sidebar of any other theme, if you’ve done it before you shouldn’t have any problems. I try to keep my code clean, so hopefully will be straight forward.
If you use widgets be aware you don’t edit the sidebar.php file but the functions.php file (this is true of all widget themes). If your having trouble creating a sidebar item best bet is to copy a current widget within the functions.php file and edit it to your needs.
I get asked this sort of stuff all the time from customers, yesterday for example someone asked me by email how to use the excerpt function (this gives the short summary of a post) as their meta description: currently I use the title of the site and the site description which isn’t ideal, so using the excerpt would be an improvement.
After a couple of emails I solved the problem using the rss version of the excerpt function and not only did this solve the customers needs, but also resulted in a better way to generate the meta description for the themes (will be updating the themes after full testing). Will then send out a free update to all past customers.
So if you run into a problem drop a comment or email and if I know the answer I’ll try to help (love solving problems, especially if it improves the themes). I prefer comments as means others get to read solutions to problems as well.

SOLD! Thanks for your promt reply. I’ve just paid for the Talian theme. Also thanks for info on URL channels too.
Just like to say I got my zip file delivered promtly & setting this theme up & loading it on my site went smoothly. Dave even helped me out with a little unrelated problem I was having. I give him a big ‘thumbs up’ for customer support!
hi, im interested in your talian template, can you tell me whats the difference between targetted and non targetted versions? which would be more suited to a beginner with no coding skills, thanks
All the themes use the targeted AdSense coding.
What this means is the main content of a page is enclosed in the following code supplied by Google AdSense:
!-- google_ad_section_start --
Your important content that you want Google AdSense to consider important when choosing keywords.
!-- google_ad_section_end --
What this is meant to do is Google AdSense will look between this code and try to use the content within to target your AdSense ads.
The theory is the content you write is going to be more keyword targeted page by page than using that content and all the template type content, links on the menu etc…. So by enclosing it in this code Google AdSense should target your content better which should result in better ads which should result in a higher CTR.

Hi,
I have a previous version on this great template.
Doesn’t seem to work in WP2.7, it’s fine in 2.3
Could be I haven’t installed it properly?
paulmclaughlins.com (working)
paulmclaughlins.com/golfguide (not!)
Hi Paul
Your using the original Talian theme that I also used to create the Talian with AdSense/SEO theme I sell from this page (and use on this site).
When I create a WordPress AdSense/SEO theme I make a LOT of changes to the html code from the theme I’m basing it on.
So though the theme you are using looks similar to the one sold here, it’s not the same code, so I have no idea what does/does not work in WordPress 2.7 regarding the original Talian theme (I’ve never used the original Talian theme on a site).
All I can tell you is my version of Talian with AdSense/SEO works perfectly well in WordPress 2.7 and if it breaks in WordPress 2.8 or whatever I’ll fix it ASAP and send a free update to all past customers.
I really hate how the original Talian theme translation images don’t fit within the bamboo colour block on the left menu (fixed in my theme).
Good look fixing the theme.

WordPress SEO Theme Talian 5 with AdSense/Clickbank Ads
I want to buy the talian theme but i want to have menu ready on it: Home About and Contact Us buttons on the header top left side. can you do that before i buy it? and is it adsense ready in which there is a separate code to put or edit adsense code? thanks let me know as soon as possible. thanks.. email me in my email address..
Hi MJ,
I don’t do custom work for free and my current SEO charges are £75 an hour.
Fortunately what you want doesn’t require code work, create a pages (not posts) called
About
Contact Us
And they will be added like the WordPress SEO Plugins button you see on this page.
You can’t add a Home link this way since you can’t add a Home page that links to home. For this you’d need a small amount of code work, though there’s a Home link at the top of the header (name of the site) and a link at the very bottom within the footer so not needed.
If you want to add a Home link still load header.php into a text editor (Notepad for example)
Find
class=”navigators”
And below it is the code that needs editing.
Add below the <ul> tag this code replacing domain.com with your URL-
<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.domain.com/">Home</li>
To give-
<ul>
<li class="page_item"><a href="http://www.domain.com/">Home</a></li>
Rest of header code below.
Save upload and you’ll have a Home link on the left of the other links.
David Law
WordPress SEO Theme Talian 5 with AdSense/Clickbank Ads
Doh! Missed the AdSense question.
Since the theme is called Talian with Targeted AdSense and SEO yes it’s AdSense ready
All you have to do is load a file called AdSense.php into a text editor and replace my AdSense publisher code with yours. Save the file and upload with the other files.
That’s it, you blog will look almost identical to this site in look/AdSense etc… The only difference will be out the box the theme uses the standard sidebar menu items (all of them), I strongly advise you log into the widget section of your dashboard and build your own menu based on what you want as menu items. For example I never show the monthly archive on any of my sites for SEO reasons.
If you don’t use the newish tag feature for example you’ll not want the tag menu item, if you never add pages to your blog you’ll not need that. Don’t want a AdSense ad unit on the menu, don’t add it as a menu widget, hate the translation links, don’t add them…
With widgets you get to build your menu (two menus, left and right for the Talian theme) the way you want it.
Be aware I go into hospital for a operation on my back early tomorrow morning (26th Feb) and expect two to three days stay in hospital. So if you want a theme ASAP you need to order in the next 7hrs to guarantee delivery before I go into hospital. Home page has this sort of information as well, when I get back I’ll delete the hospital information.
David Law
WordPress SEO Theme Talian 5 with AdSense/Clickbank Ads
I’m back home from hospital and have full access to all my files etc… so themes should go out on time now. Looks like few people ordered due to the notice on the home page, so not much to catch up on
