Ads Theme Template

 Click to enlarge Ads Theme Blogger template


If you’re looking for a new Blogger template, you came at the right time. Hands down, this is the best template we’ve converted here at eBlog Templates. It’s a wonderful web 2.0 popular blog layout with some great built in ad spots (hence the template name) and features.

It’s either a two or 3 column template (you can change it on the fly) so you get the best of both worlds. This Blogger template is what I call a “powerhouse” template since almost all the features you need are already built in. On top of that, it’s quite easy to setup and makes your blog look like a professional site without much effort.

I predict this template will be a top template on this site within a few months, if not weeks. With the amount of effort that went into converting this template and attention to details, I sure hope you appreciate this free amazing new xml Blogger/Blogspot template.

Features Include

  • Two or Three right side columns which are easy to switch (default is three)
  • Three great location ad spots (header banner 468 x 60, three 125 x 125 buttons in sidebar, and a 468 x 60 AdSense banner above the first post)
  • Integrated Feedburner rss and subscribe via email sidebar module (also includes “add to favorites” Technorati link)
  • Built-in live traffic feed widget from FEEDJIT
  • Built-in MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog recent reader widgets
  • Dynamic tabs easily created by editing the link list widget
  • Search box without the need for a “go” button
  • Recent posts and comments widgets
  • Nicely designed individual blog post comments section
  • Properly setup Blogger layout editor

You can see from this screenshot that the actual editor is nicely setup so you don’t need to scroll or try and figure out how to click on the “edit” widget links. Most templates that you download make it tough to edit — not this one!

This template does require some configuration in order to get it working as designed. Please follow the steps below if you’d like it to work properly. I also recommend backing up your existing template before changing just in case you run into any problems. You could also setup a new Blogger blog as a test area and try installing it there first.

Top Tabs Setup

When you first install this template the top tabs will not be visible which is normal. You’ll need to go into the Blogger page element layout editor and edit the “Top Tabs” widget. It’s a link list so just add whatever tabs you want. Don’t add a “Home” tab since it will automatically appear once you create and save the tab widget.

Header Ad Banner

The default banner is hardcoded into the template but will disappear when you add anything to this widget. It’s an HTML widget so you can put the banner ad code straight into this box. This widget can also be deleted if you don’t have a 468 x 60 and you’ll just be left with the black header. Here’s the default ad code if you want to use it as a model:

<a href="https://www.linkworth.com?a=10230" target="_blank">
<img src="https://www.linkworth.com/adm/affiliate_manager/affiliate_banners/bann-36.gif" border="0" />
</a>

FeedBurner RSS and Email Links

To get this section working you’ll first need to have a FeedBurner account. If you don’t already have one, please read the “How to Setup FeedBurner on Blogger” article and then come back. Another option is to just delete this widget if you’re not interested in knowing your subscriber count or allowing your readers an easy way to subscribe.

Once you’ve got your FeedBurner account, you’ll need to edit this template code and replace a few parts. Search your template code for the following line <!-- Replace Your RSS, RSS Email Subscription, and Technorati --> and then look right below that for the rss feed link.

https://feeds.feedburner.com/<strong>YOUR-FEED-NAME-HERE</strong> . Replace the text in red with your FeedBurner name (i.e. eBlogTemplates is ours)

Next we’ll need to update the subscribe via email link with your feed id. You’ll need to make sure to enable subscribe via email within FeedBurner otherwise this part won’t work.

https://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/emailverifySubmit?feedId=YOUR-FEED-ID-HERE&loc=en_US

After you’ve changed both of these areas save your template and check to see if it works. If you’re having trouble finding your feed name or id, please read our article above or see FeedBurner’s help section to locate it.

125 x 125 Ad Section

These are the three ads in the right sidebar which you need to edit the template code to change. Search the template code for <!– Replace with your 125 x 125 ads –> and then look right below that for the three lines of ad code which are:

<a href="https://www.widgetbucks.com/home.page?referrer=7116002"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-widgetbucks.gif" border="0px" /></a>

<a href="https://www.linkworth.com/?a=10230"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/adstheme/banner-linkworth2.gif" border="0px" /></a>

<a href="https://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=2164"><img src="https://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh92/eblogtemplates/ads/text_link_ads_F_125x125.gif" border="0px" /></a>

If you’ve got ads to place in here, then just paste the code into the template. I recommend signing up for your own Text Link Ads account and using them. Each referral you convert, you get $20 (or $25 I forget). If you don’t have ads to use, you can either leave our default ads or delete this widget altogether.

Recent Posts and Comments Widgets

This one is easy to setup since we’ve already written an entire article dedicated to this. Please see “How to Setup Recent Comments and Posts Widgets” to configure these two widgets.

Recent Readers Widget

You’ll need to have MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog accounts if you want to use this widget. The default widget will show the original author’s pictures so please either delete this widget or change the account ids to your own. Once you’ve setup these up, then edit the template code and search for <!-- Replace "2007112507294841" with your your mybloglog id --> and then replace the account numbers with yours.

Live Traffic Feed Widget

This is a really cool feature within this template and the best part is you don’t need to do anything to setup it up! There are some further options if you click on “options >>” on your actual blog page under the widget but that’s it.

You should now have the template all setup and ready to go. I hope you enjoy this beauty and please make sure to keep the footer links intact since numerous hours of my time and the original designer were put into making it. That’s all we ask for giving away this template! Enjoy!

Special thanks to Eric over at Blogging Secret for designing this wonderful template originally for WordPress.

Revision History

Update (3/3/08) – Per a couple requests and to make this template even more flexible, I’ve changed how underlined links are handled. You can now edit the underlined color via the Blogger “Fonts and Colors” section along with 10+ additional other color variables. Less work for you having to mess with the .css template code now.

Update (3/5/08) – Added in post author tags so you can toggle the “By Author Name” within the posts. Also compressed the css so the file is much slimmer and cleaner.

Update (3/14/08) – The individual posts Google AdSense code block was missing and has now been added to the template code.

Update (4/18/08) – Fixed layout screen so the two widgets aren’t overlapping.

Hey David,

I have modified this template with different widgets such as tabbed sidebar, page nav panel, etc. Can I publish this template with proper acknowledgements or it will be a breach of license? Plz let me know.


   
Blog Step Wise on Aug 16, 2008, 11:10 pm  

Rashed, you can customize it as long as you keep the footer links intact.


   
Rashed on Aug 17, 2008, 5:30 am  

Thanks buddy. Ya, I will keep it in place. 🙂


   
lavey77 on Aug 18, 2008, 5:49 am  

hi david
this template is really what i’m looking for, thanks
only one thing, I worry that removing navbar will violate google terms of service, is that true? CMIIW
how to add back the navbar?


   
Blog Step Wise on Aug 18, 2008, 6:29 am  

You can remove the navbar thats not a issue.

Hi David. I love this template. It gave me a much more professional look, for blogger. I am trying to find out how to add or put back in the “show email post links” to each post I add. Is there a way in the html code because I have the option in basic settings set to yes?


   
Jjay on Aug 22, 2008, 8:05 am  

Hi David,

Thanks so much for this template. It’s the best so far.

By the way, I don’t have Adsense, so how do I take away the 468 x 60 AdSense banner above the first post? Contrary to your screenshot above, I do not see an Adsense widget on top of my first post, but Adsense show when my actual blog is viewed.


   
rashed on Aug 22, 2008, 5:13 pm  

@ Jjay… If u eant to remove the linkworth banner, just remove the Header Ad Banner from ur layout>page elements. if u cant find it, go to layput>Edit HTML. Tick Expand Widget Templates and now search for http://www.linkworth. Now gibe a new link and image to replace the defalut one or delete the whole thing staring from b:widget few lines above the link and delete until u find the closing b:includable b:widget codes (few lines below the http://www.linkworth link.

@ Shelly… u will find a better commenting system here. http://www.findcheapworld.com/2008/07/how-to-add-inline-comment-in-blog-spot.html

@ mansibshah… Ur link is not working. Removing some widgets.elements should not make this problem. Try to upload again. 🙂


   
rashed on Aug 22, 2008, 5:18 pm  

@ Jjay… if u want to remove the google ads above the first post, go to Layout>Edit HTML. Expand Widget templates. Now search for ga-ads. When u find them under “– (Main) –” and “div class=’contentwrapper'” just delete starting from “div id=’ga-ads'” to “src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;
</script>
div”


   
Shelly on Aug 22, 2008, 9:07 pm  

Thanks a lot Rashed for the nice tip to better the comments form. I’ll now try to incorporate in my blog the way you have instructed.

BTW, visiting your suggested link there, I found it also using the ads-theme template of David. Its nicely customized I must say 🙂
In fact I have also used the same template for my blog http://bricks-n-mortar.com after some amateurish customization now and then. Can you let me know of some other things by which it can be bettered?
Thanks once again.
-Shelly


   
rashed on Aug 23, 2008, 11:23 am  

Hi Shelly, I visited ur site. Nice one. 🙂

U can take a look at http://www.bloggerbuster.com/ for some nice customisation tips. :mrgreen:


   
derya baykal on Aug 25, 2008, 6:11 am  

oooo thanks 🙂 🙂 🙂


   
Shelly on Aug 25, 2008, 7:58 pm  

Thanks a ton, Rashed for the link.

Meanwhile, I have been sadly trying to fix the feeds problem in my blog. The feedburner isn’t burning the feeds right in all the channels, and is associating the feed link with a wrong/truncated yahoo link (on my yahoo platform). The feedmedic on the feedburner homepage is showing the feed to be OK, but when I click the link of the respective RSS XML, its again landing on the wrong my yahoo page 🙁

Even the ‘Post (Atom)’ link at the bottom of the ads-theme blogger template is landing on the my yahoo page showing incomplete/ truncated feed links 🙁 ❗ 😥

CAN ANYONE HELP THIS LADY OUT OF THIS HEARTBREAKING (FEEDBREAKING, I MUST SAY!) SITUATION ❓


   
nqjoe on Aug 26, 2008, 2:54 pm  

Hi David,
I have downloaded the template and used it for my new blog. This is DEFINITELY the best ads-theme template so far!

Thank you for converting it and say my thanks to the original creator of this template.

I can’t wait to start making money online now!

Cheers!


   
nqjoe on Aug 26, 2008, 2:57 pm  

Hi David, sorry for posting again, but I wanted to ask something, how do I add more widgets into the template?

Thanks.


   
Mansi on Aug 26, 2008, 3:00 pm  

Hi, thanks for a well-laid out template design; just one request! is it possible to add one more sidebar to the left? if yes, how??

would really appreciate your help here!


   
orang cina on Aug 27, 2008, 4:51 am  

Thanks so much for the template.

I have one question, how do I add in popular post to my blog? Please advise, thanks.


   
rashed on Aug 27, 2008, 4:17 pm  

Hi Shelly, I saw ur feedburner ends up with something google proxy blah blah!

The function worked straight away for me. Try to get a new feed with ur site n feedburner. There should not be any problem. 🙂

Shelly on Aug 28, 2008, 4:14 am  

hey rashed,
thanks for the follow up 🙂

actually i changed the RSS syndication link to the newly found feedproxy link at google after i posted the previous comment.
the immediate problem got solved, but still since i didn’t know exactly what i was doing, i have ended up in displaying two adsense units in the 1st post due to which my sidebar adsense isn’t showing up. 🙁

well, the amateur in me is half happy ( 😆 ) and half sad ( 😥 )

thanks once again.

david,
why the ’email this’ icon not showing up in this template with each post though it shows up in blog settings page in the layout???

riseupagain999 on Aug 28, 2008, 9:18 pm  

I am not able to download it. Tried with firefox, IE.. its redirect to the home page..i do not know why?


   
Banking Jobs on Aug 29, 2008, 12:28 pm  

Finally, I was able to download the template through Flashget (External downloading software). After log-in to eblogtempletes site, note the URL you see on status bar when you move over your mouse on “download” link. It ends with .zip extension. Download it with Flashget. I think it does not allow to download through browser since last 1 or two days.

animeflavour on Aug 30, 2008, 6:25 am  

Why is it that this template is unable to download? It just keep on asking me to log in even if i logged in hundreds of time already. It seems that only this post is having this problem as i tried to go into other template page, there was no such a problem. Please fix it. Thanks

Thanks for the excellent template! Is it possible to swap the search box provided for the google adsense search box?


   
reezluv on Sep 3, 2008, 12:31 am  

cool template..nice one!thanks :mrgreen:


   
Banking Jobs on Sep 3, 2008, 3:29 am  

😐 @ JCYL, Yes, It is possible to add Google custom search on the nav bar instead of search box. You will have to hard code the HTML. I did that in my blog.


   
Banking Jobs on Sep 3, 2008, 4:08 am  

When I add Poll on the sidebar. it appears with different fonts. I tried hard but unable to change the fonts. Pls. Help
Thanks

Shelly on Sep 4, 2008, 1:26 am

Hi David,
Nice Template..
Thanks for share this template with free


   
xgravity23 on Sep 7, 2008, 6:06 am  

Just downloaded and successfully installed this template. Love it! I’ll be customizing it over the next few days (to fit my design prefs). Left the links in tact (read some of the previous comments :smile:)

Just one bug/problem: In the Layout > Page Elements page, the double-wide widgets slightly overlap the search box (not an issue–just FYI). More importantly, the rightmost column appears below the last widget in the second-from the right column. This makes it harder to edit widgets in that rightmost column.


   
xgravity23 on Sep 8, 2008, 7:00 am  

Okay, after working with the template to customize it (almost finished…), I have to add to my previous comment. This template is commented well and has great structural mark-up that is easy to read. Thanks again!

Rashed on Sep 10, 2008, 8:14 pm  

@ siv578… Add label just in the normal way during posting a blog.
