Ad-Sense

Ad-Sense is a powerful magazine theme, I think you’re going to dig it.  It’s got a ton of various options that make it easy to blog about whatever you want and to monetize your site with Ad-Sense or the advertising network of your choice.  This is the recipe blog example, but there are several others that are just as great looking and just as powerful.  Some of the best features about this theme that make it the most powerful Ad-Sense ready theme around, awesome ad management, advanced advertising placement, ad blocker detection and content locking for readers who are using an ad blocker.  That means everyone will see your advertising, no matter what.  For recipe bloggers, that makes a lot of sense.  MyThemeShop offers great support and documentation to all of their themes, so you won’t get bogged down trying to solve some minor technical problem.

For those who blog about food, beverages and recipes, AdSense is a great way to monetize your website.  That’s what this theme, Ad-Sense, is all about.  With multiple advertising placement areas and a finely tuned, strongly engineered layout, you can maximize the eyes on all of your content and also maximize the click through rate on all of your ads.  Pretty slick set up if you ask me.  Ad-Sense is by MyThemeShop, one of the best makers of great online magazine themes and this one is no exception.  It even detects ad blockers like Adblock Plus, 1Blocker, NoScript, Ghostery and Privacy Badger, which means your site’s content can be locked if users try to browse your content with one of those ad blockers enabled.  All that means your content will get more clicks and that means more revenue.  You can hide single post content too and there’s a whole lot more that this theme has going for it.  I highly recommend this for any WordPress recipe blog site.
