Smarts Way

This is a nice clean and simple Wordpress Theme I found. It needs some customizing, such as a logo in the upper left corner if you want one and you have to insert your Adsense publisher ID into the sidebar.php, header.php file and single.php file which is pretty easy to do. All you do is open the PHP files with an editor like Notepad ++ and replace the existing Adsense Publisher ID’s with you own, save the files and upload them to your template folder or modify them in the Theme Editor of the Dashboard and BAM, you’re off and running.  It takes me about the same amount of time to do it as it did to type this.

I’m a sucker for clean and simple Wordpress themes such as this one. I like the ad placements and an added bonus is that once a surfer clicks on an article heading, the article page has the 300×250 Adsense block in the upper left of the article. That’s the sweet spot and heat maps provided by Google states this is the best place to put an adblock in an article.

The side bar has a 300×250 and a 160×600 ad block plus an adlink block at the top of the pages.
