Dateless Sniper BANS Template
July 13, 2008 By: Justin | 13 commentsAnother Free BANS Template from SEO Zombie. This time with a little twist. Over at Court’s Internet Marketing blog, he has blogged about a concept called keyword sniping. For the process, he has developed a few Wordpress themes. The most recent was the Dateless Sniper 2.0 theme.
I’ve taken this Wordpress theme and modified it for BANS. Now you can have a BANS site that looks just like Court’s keyword sniping site. This has a few advantages. First, the theme has decent SEO. Second, the theme doesn’t look like a traditional BANS sites. Which is great, because Google has been slapping thin looking BAN sites This template helps make BANS look more legit. Lastly, the theme integrates well with a blog running Court’s Dateless Sniper theme. You can install a blog and store on the same domain and use the blog to help index your store pages by filling the domain with unique textual content.
So check out this theme.
Dateless Sniper BANS Template
New template, so let me know if you have any bugs. This is a free BANS template, all I ask is that you keep the link back to my blog that appears in the footer. Credit to Court for the original theme. Tried to give him some extra link love here.
I would suggest using the theme to cloak your BANS site. Integrate it well with a Wordpress blog using Court’s theme. The blog can be used to gain trust from Google, since the biggest flaw of BANS is the thin content. I have a couple ideas in mind about ways to trick Google into trusting .info BANS. Google seems to trust .info blogs more than BANS, so make it appear less “BANS like”. Not sure how well this will work, but I’m going to test it.
Hope you enjoy the new BANS template.

Would you suggest having a BANS store on the main page with a link to articles, or the articles on the main page with a link to the BANS section?
Thanks,
Dave
Not sure yet. I haven’t tried linking up my BANS with blogs yet, but was going to try that this week. I already have the store installed on the root of many of my sites, and I don’t feel like redoing anything, so I will most put the blog in a /blog/ folder.
I plan on using the blog to build the authority of the BANS pages. I’ll nofollow the links from the store to blog, but dofollow from the blog to the store, so that internal PR is pushed toward the BANS pages.
What I was considering is writing blog post related to the keyword of one of my store pages. I would then anchor the store page’s keyword in the blog post. Then, I would go build links for the blog post. It looks more natural to Google (and those giving a visual inspection) that links would point to the post.
Then, I’m considering adding a section at the bottom of the store pages where I list “related articles”. You could insert blurbs from posts on the blog. Then nofollow the links, so you don’t push authority to the blog. The reason I would do this: It allows you to put gibberish content at the bottom of your store page without looking like a spammer. You could insert blurbs from 3 posts from the blog in a format similar to my related posts above. It would help correct the thin content problem with BANS.
I’m just rambling, I hope that makes sense?
You really should ramble more. That was the most detail I’ve gotten from an SEO about HOW to implement the concepts of SEO in a concrete example. Seems most people are thick on superficial generalities and thin on details. That was beautiful.

Hi Justin,
I have been busy building my own BANS using a free wordpress plugin Feedwordpress. Using this pugin I can include articles in easily…I am getting traffic from the articles and also the keywords in the post titles.
The template I tried to download and use on another store I am building but can’t. Guess it’s only for BANS?
I haven’t start building any backlinks as yet for my store..I am a bit lost here as how do you build backlinks for stores?
Yea, the template is only for BANS. You can get the wordpres theme over at Court’s blog. I ripped out the wordpress guts and replaced it with the code for BANS.
I need to make a link building post. Basic link building can be done with directories, articles, and comments. It’s difficult to attract “natural” links with BANS. If you add a blog, then you can use traditional link build for blogs to build links.
Oh..you mentioned in your post about customizing from wordpress template. Guess I didn’t read with comprehension.
Btw, I included a link for my store if you care to check it out. My main concern for the site is that the post titles are sometimes duplicates which is unavoidable.
My SEO foundation is shaky and you can see it from the questions I ask. :)
Holy crap. I was thinking about creating a Dateless Sniper theme for BANS and lookie lookie. It’s already done. I’ve been doing the same thing with my sniping sites, adding a BANS store in a /store/ directory and wanted the user experience to be seemless.
One less thing to take off my to-do list now.
Thanks Justin,
DM
No problem DM =)
Thanks for visiting
Justin - I’d like to convert a few sniper sites that I already have up and running but haven’t performed as well with Adsense as well as I’d like. How would I go about converting them to this new theme and still keep my content, links, etc… ?
Hi Justin,
can you do a short tutorial on how to use this theme?
