About

This is the Business Count theme for WordPress, customized for AdSense, cleaned up, and made compatible by PRMoney. (The original version by feeldesigns can be found at: http://www.plannetworld.com/)

This theme has been fixed and tested to be compatible with WordPress versions 1.5, 2.0, 2.3.3, 2.5, and MU v1.3.3 (2.3.3) in FireFox 2.0, and Internet Explorer 6 & 7.

WordPress v1.5, 2.0, 2.3.3 & 2.5 users:
You’ll need the Simple Adsense plugin (based on the AdSense Share plugin)

You’ll also want to read this post regarding the new “unimproved” widgets in WP 2.5. It explains how to easily revert to the old 2.3.3 way of dragging-and-dropping widgets. The new interface is a nightmare, and ruins this theme’s widget capabilities.

WordPress MU v1.3.3 users:
You’ll need the AdSense Share plugin, which allows you to set site-wide AdSense Sharing options.

Details:

Business Count is a gratuitously wide WordPress theme sporting two sidebars.

The header starts off with Blog Page links across the top. The middle contains an image of an LCD monitor on the left, followed by the blog title & description, and then a Google ad unit on the left. The bottom of the header has 4 inconspicuous Google Ad Links in a high click-through area.

The left side contains two widgetized sidebars that default with Pages, Categories, Archives, and an AdSense Link Unit in the left sidebar, and BlogRoll, and Meta links in the right sidebar. Above the sidebars you will always find a Google AdSense Unit that spans both sidebars. The AdSense Unit’s colors will randomize on each page load.

he right side of the content area begins with a nice looking blog search at the top, followed by the entry area below.

At the bottom, under both the sidebars and spanning to the blog entry area, there is a large horizontal AdSense banner.

If you’re using WordPress v2.3.3 or newer, you can arrange those sidebar widgets however you like, and there are a few more choices available for you - AdLinks(blends), AdLinks(bright), Calendar, Recent Posts, Tag Cloud, and Text 1.
NOTE:
If you’re using WordPress v2.5, please read the note above about the ruined widget functionality, and how to easily fix it.

Feedback:

G2Y has gone to great lengths to ensure all of our AdSense-ready WordPress themes work in the latest versions of WordPress, as well as the three major browsers.

The hardest part of modifying an existing theme for use with AdSense is dealing with the messy code found in almost every theme out there. It takes us anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours to fix all the CSS bugs and them implement the AdSense ads in the most profitable locations of the theme.

We’ve also found that theme authors don’t usually bother to actually test their theme to ensure it displays properly in FireFox & Internet Explorer (6 & 7!), or other versions of WordPress. Most theme authors also fail to test various other aspects of their themes, like the widgets, tag cloud, calendar, etc.

Every template on G2Y has been thoroughly tested in FireFox v2.0, Internet Exploder v6 & 7, and WordPress versions 1.5, 2.0, 2.3.3, 2.5, & MU v1.3.3 (2.3.3), but there’s no doubt we’ve missed something, Don’t hesitate to email support@g2y.net with bug reports, or simply leave a comment below.
