This page if for Stallion theme reviews and testimonials (good or bad) by Stallion theme users.
Although Stallion is based on my popular Talian 05 SEO/AdSense/Clickbank WordPress theme, Stallion 06 hasn’t been released yet, so just a holder page for later use (need to add some content to the site 
)
I’ve added a LOT of new features between Talian 05 and Stallion 06, many at the request of Talian 05 customers, so looking forward to feedback after it’s released.

Mr Law, Thank you! I’ve reviewed many other WP Themes and almost switched from Talian because of the built in options to add other ads instead of Adsense in the hot zones where the default ad positions are in Talian. Well, to my great delight, I read your Stallion update email this morning! I know you have added many new features but the 9 widget zones compared to two are by far the best features for me!
Your idea of writing tutorials for the theme will help me as a Stallion affiliate! I cannot wait to begin to sell the new theme as THE way to start a new online business. Specially since I host websites for free on my Dreamhost account for people who contact me.
The tutorials will save me so much time in explaining how to set up a site.
I also thank you for the note in the above comments on how to upload a zip file via the “Install Themes” tab in WP admin. Being that I have three or four sites to install the theme on, this is a huge convenience!!!
Ok, I’ve read all the comments above, now I’ll get to the install and let you know how it goes, I will also be investing in Caleb’s electric guitar! (Go Caleb blow your Dads ear drums out and please let me know if you will be offering some of those cool animations you used on your banner site as a package – or if you will custom create some for tracksandtrails!

Stallion Custom Banners and Header Images
Thanks for the positive feedback
Regarding the Stallion Custom Banners and Header Images my youngest son is creating he is taking suggestions for custom banner packs (niches), he’s made over a dozen so far (with 7 on sale, still adding more) with two being made for people who asked for a particular niche.
Not sure he’ll be making custom animated headers for the packs, they take quite a lot of time to make. I told him it was possible to have an animated header when he was testing Stallion for me (during development) and as he’s learning this sort of stuff made a couple. One quick one (a bouncing ball) and the one on his site that took a lot more time. Does show what’s possible with Stallion.
I originally made the banner for this theme as an animated banner, but it’s 100KB in size (slow to download) so went with a static banner. I’ve activated the animated version temporarily.
I think he’s already a third of the way to buying a noisy electric guitar! It’s bad enough when he plays his acoustic guitar, he’s still learning and knows one song he plays over and over and over again!!!

A Big Thank You
Wow, David!
Thanks so much for the new Stallion Theme. I bought the Tallion 5 theme back at the beginning of the MPP program, and you provided the Stallion theme at no charge for me. It is working great so far, and I have seen both an increase in traffic and revenue after installing it. I am sure I still need to work on a few things, but I just wanted to let you know it worked wonders for me, and I really appreciate you supporting your customers this way.
Best Regards,

I'm Impressed!!
Hi David.
Firstly many thanks for your input to my site speed issue using another theme, which was one I purchased months ago but isn’t supported now, long story.
As you’re aware I would still prefer a single column theme for this site but with the speed issue I thought I’d take the plunge this morning and install Stallion two column version just to see what happens.
I cannot believe the difference your theme, together with the recommended cache plugin has made to my site, unbelievable.
If anyone doubts who provides the best theme and support on the web they need look no further!
Now to spend the rest of the day configuring Stallion and getting the correct images, banners, widgets etc but I just had to record my initial impressions.
Here’s my site, which is a work in progress today: http://pctoolsinsights.com
Thanks you.

Stallion SEO Theme for Blog with No-keyword in Domain Name
Hi David,
I know your theme is great for when using my keyword in the domain name, but what about when I want to create a blog and I want to enjoy the SEO capabilities of Stallion “but” I won’t use my keyword in the domain name. Is it still good or I will be losing too much benefits?
For example, I want to create a blog with my name or a company name, but will try to rank it for a keyword that is not included in the domain.
Thanks

SEO and Hyphenated Domain Names
I wrote an SEO tutorial a while back that included information about domain name choice etc… at Domain Name Optimization.
The Stallion SEO Theme doesn’t use the domain name as part of the built in SEO, so theme wise it doesn’t matter what domain you use.
No theme should use the domain name as part of the SEO since few domains use hyphens and only hyphenated domains (like www.keyword1-keyword2.tld) and one keyword domains (like www.keyword.tld) help with search engine ranking.
Note the domain name of this site www.stallion-theme.com, lacks the keyword SEO, but is ranked number one in Google for “Stallion SEO Theme” and ranks top 10 for “WordPress Ad Theme”. A keyword does not have to be in the domain name for a page on the domain to rank well, it helps, but it’s not 100% needed.

Stallion theme catching spam
One of the things I like about Stallion is it seems to identifying spam. Lately my blogs have been overwhelmed with a new type of spam. The comments almost make sense and relate to the topic.
The reason I can easily see they are spam is the spambot leave a comment title identical to the comment.
Having this extra comment title field really makes it easy to identify spam that has slipped passed normal WordPress Spam filters.
This is an unintended but welcome benefit of the Stallion theme, as if I can to go though those one by one it would be a pain. Now I can mark them as Spam with easy.

Dealing with WordPress Comment SPAM
Many of my sites have been getting that SPAM as well and yes it’s really easy to identify because the comment content is replicated within the Stallion comment title area, they stand out like a sore thumb.
Seams to be a new case of comment SPAM every so often Akismet doesn’t catch and you get a dozen or so comments that is obvious SPAM get through, though if you have moderation of new authors turned on they still have to be approved.
