Whats your Best Adsense Theme

[bhuff85]

Just wanted to chime in here and remind a few folks that using any specific Adsense theme is no magic solution to earning a ton of money with Adsense. If you're content is garbage and your on-page SEO is weak, you can run into issues of not triggering the right ads. If your ads aren't targeted to the visitor, you'll have a low CTR no matter WHAT kind of theme you use.

I also see a lot of folks who drum up ugly little Adsense sites with poor content that nearly force the visitor to either exit the site or click on an ad. While some people prefer to build sites in this manner to "grab more clicks", I don't think sites like these add much value to the visitor in the end.

If you have an Adsense site that is focused on providing information - then provide good, quality information that people WANT to read! If you write great content that people actually read and that same content triggers relevant ads for things that people want, you'll have no issues achieving a high CTR. Not only that, but if you end up with a high-traffic site and actually deliver visitors that convert for Content Network advertisers, you could end up with a higher EPC rate from ad buyers who are specifically targeting your website.

Anyway, my point here is that a specific Adsense theme isn't the end all be all for increasing your CTR and earnings. If you provide great content that is readable, engaging and properly optimized and give your visitors something that they want, only then may these themes be able to help you increase your CTR.

The only paid Adsense theme I use on a few of my sites currently is CTRTheme. After using this theme across a few niche websites, I can say that your CTR can depend on your niche market as well. I have some websites that experience anywhere from 18 to 25 percent CTR rates, while others using the same theme will only hover around 5 percent. So, from what I've personally experienced, the niche can be yet another determining factor of your overall CTR.

Clickbump, CTR Theme, and Heatmap all the way to the bank.

I like HeatMap Pro. Easy to set up, lots of options, great support.

Hi Gemfranco,

Which theme have you had most success with, Clickbump or CTR Theme?

Think I might have to look into HeatMap Pro as well?

Many thanks

Well most of the themes are now adsense ready themes which lets you to place adsense code on more targeted areas but still I think making reader to click on adsense needs some extra effort now. You should be able to at least edit the header to place the adsense on most clickable position. Similarly placing in them posts will also increase the chances of click

clickbump has been working well for me

[ravi2011]

try heatmap adsense theme

[HarryPothead]

You can make work any theme for you if you know how to tweak it.
If you're willing to pay for the theme then I'd suggest go for either CTR or Clickbump. My personal fav is CTR.
For free you can go for Monosense/Prosense if looking for simpler theme.
For better look and feel you can go for free version of Flexibility3 theme.
Hope it helps

I guess I will go with ctr or clickbump

I create themes for myself using Artisteer.

I have been using free and custom premium themes for some time internally and for clients with great success.

Upon starting a new project I started to look around for opinions on themes that were properly optimized right out of the shoot. The more I read the more I was moved to check out Scott's "Clickbump Engine".

The more that I dug into the product the more passion that I could see in the development of the product. So, naturally I made the purchase.

Upon purchasing the product I had about "6" questions that I needed answered (some technical and some opinions) before I started this project. So, I fired off an email to Scott and thought that I would be doing the norm - waiting for a few days or never hearing back at all (way to common these days). However, within like an hour or so - BAM - all of the questions that I had asked had been answered.

Absolutely Amazing Customer Service...

I would recommend this product and the support that comes with it to anyone who is serious about developing blogs!

However, as far as CTR goes, the adsense placement is essentially the same as with many other FREE templates that look good as well.

Theoretically, if you get a nice looking theme and place the adsense in the same optimal places, it should not make a huge difference right?

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious.

I think the whole point of Wordpress themes is that they are easy to install and easy to use as a CMS.

People like me, who know HTML and CSS, might not rely on Wordpress at all.

For example, when I see a theme that I like, I don't buy it. I reverse-engineer it because I have the necessary HTML skills to be able to re-create it myself.

But not everybody has those skills or wants to spend the time and energy to do so, so they buy the themes.
