Another WP Theme Designed for Adsense Users

    Here's another Wordpress theme that was just released and that was designed with Adsense ad placements (as well as other types of ads you might want to put in their stead) in mind. It looks quite good, very clean and professional.

    [​IMG]

    My only problem with it are the tab shadows above the top Adlinks leaderboard. They make the links look like navigational liks, which will undoubtedly engender tons of clicks, but I have a feeling they may violate the Adsense TOS in that they are "drawing undue attention" to the links.

    But in any case, you can download the theme for free here. and visit the author's homepage here for questions and help.

    If you want to use this, and think the Adlinks tab shadows might be a problem, I would avoid using the Adlinks there until a firm answer can be given. Until then, it's quite an excellent theme, so if you are having problems tweaking your WP blog for Adsense placement, I would recommend this for beginners.

    I know, right? These guys are coming out with some very cool looking themes. CMS and CSS all wrapped into one simple theme. You could use something like this for a website and it would look 90% better than most of the websites out there, with a little tweaking here and there to get rid of some of the "blog" looks.

    As for the tabs, the author says this in the comments:

    "
    As for the concern of violating the TOS, below is the reply from Google AdSense Team back in February 2006.

    Hello Bryan,

    Thank you for providing this information. I have reviewed your site and can confirm that it is currently in compliance with our program policies.

    Please feel free to email us at if you have additional questions or concerns.

    Sincerely,

    Winnie
    The Google AdSense Team

    In fact, I have been using the same theme since June 2005 until now.

    I will contact Google Team again soon just to make sure Ads Minded theme is safe to use.
    "

    So, really if this is not undue attention to the ads, then what is? An arrow of course, but otherwise you can do lots of things if making the ads look like tabs/menu is not undue attention..
