Do you use the Clickbump Adsense Theme?

[outwest]

I have heard raves about it (its not free, its 47 bucks) and comes in two parts with some type of Engine with it

I have heard complaints about the CTR theme, but raves about the Clickbump theme

have you tried it?
what do you think? supposedly it increases CTR ratios, and saves tons of time and is extremely optimized for many Adsense needs , (comes with built in Privacy policy , etc)

[36burrows]

I love using the Clickbump theme for adsense sites.

It comes with I think around 12 different templates so you can have a variety of different looks.

The theme is simple and is super optimized for SEO. Sites I use clickbump on get ranked very quickly due to how well the on site SEO is.

It does save a lot of time due to the plugin that you can buy with it called "Jumpstart" which adds all of the necessary pages such as privacy, disclaimer, about, contact, etc.. the second it's activated.

It's very easy to add your Adsense codes anywhere you want on the site, as there is a widget for just about every part of the page (header, footer, sidebar, etc..)

All around great theme, it's a small investment if you're planning on building a lot of sites with it.

[outwest]

How much is it if you get the Jumpstart engine or whatever its called

I thought the themes cost 10 dollars each
can you use this on unlimited Adsense sites?

How does Clickbump compare to Heatmap Pro which I'm currently using on one of my blogs.

As far as I'm concerned, nothing compares with the Clickbump Adsense themes - fully functional, easy to use, very newbie-friendly.

But that's just me, though...

[rbecklund]

They are pretty decent to use, but they are slowly getting more complicated and complex as he adds functionality. Unfortunately with the complexity there are more errors, luckily he is really good at customer support.

[John Williamson]

Yes! Clickbump FTW! Higher CTR, better optimization, and an increase in automation and efficiency.

Hi outwest, it looks like there are several ClickBump owners here who can give you some advice on their experiences with my software. I just wanted to chime in to clarify the various packages and what each comes with.

ClickBump theme is offered in "good, better, best" product packages.

Good - "Express"
You can get in the door for just $17 with Express. This includes the core WordPress theme, ClickBump 5, with all the adsense management tools and optimized out of the box SEO. It comes with a single pre-installed "template" or "skin" called "Amaze".

Better - "Express with JumpStart Pro"
Comes with everything you get in "Express" and adds a sitebuilder plugin called JumpStart Pro" which automatically installs the theme, your default pages and posts, plus any plugins you like".

Best - "ClickBump Bundle"
Comes with everything you get in "Express with JumpStart Pro" plus 12 additional templates, plus my on page SEO plugin, ClickBump SEO.

I am brand spanking new to setting up blogs. Clickbump came highly recommended so I purchased it. I purchased the bundle and I can tell you that it's worth every penny. The jumpstart file makes it a whole lot easier to set up your site. Basically you just fill in the blanks and you've got everything you need except content pages. He has a lot of different themes to choose from and you just can't go wrong. He also constantly updates and adds new products.

Best thing about Clickbump is the service. Scott has been very patient with me and all my dumb questions.

I've never purchased anything else so comparing this versus that is impossible but I can tell you that I will continue to business with Scott.

[outwest]

Thanks for all the answers here

[garlnnd]

Did a ton of research, read a lot of reviews and comparisons..

I'm buying the $47 Clickbump Package, very excited!

You sound like me, LOL

I'm relentless with pre-sale research whether I'm buying a $20 gadget or a $3000 Flat Screen TV

Looking forward to having you onboard.

[jep]

I'm interested in getting one myselfsince now my website is already ranking on pg 1..but I'm afraid that it will have an effect on my rankings..anyone?

Hello,

I am very interested in this bundle.

Is there any sample sites that I might view to see this in action? Besides your sales site.

Can this be used on a already completed site to change it's theme? How will it effect the content?

TD

[TwinDragon]

Oh,

Another question. If I buy the bundle, can I only install ClickBump SEO on some of my older sites?

TD

[Richmark]

I'm using Clickbumped for most of my adsense sites. I got the bundle so i do tend to swap and change a lot.

[phans]

i just bought it
looking forward to get the investment back via adsense

[bitriot]

A while back I downloaded a pirated version of Clickbump theme and checked it out. It is a very solid set of adsense themes that, as I recall, covers the thematic bases from traditional X-Factor set ups, "clickbumped" set ups and other slicker page themes. I never used the theme on any of my sites but I quickly got the impression that Scott is rolling out regular updates to this theme so it really is in your best interest to buy it for the (lifetime?) support.

I currently use heatmap theme (paid for all my MFA sites.

OH, BTW, I do use Clickbump SEO (similar to SEO pressor at half the price) and I love it!

[TwinDragon]

Thanks, look great.

[JettH]

I've used an earlier version of ClickBump on some Adsense sites.
They worked pretty well.

Truth be told, basically any white background "clean" theme that allows the Adsense ads to stand out works well for adsense.

@clickbump
i like the idea of the "Ad Position Randomize" function but is there any chance that this might be against the adsense TOS?
i heart that a couple of times before!

Hi Phans, good questions.

The "Ad Position Randomize" function works for ANY type of ad, not just Adsense. For example, you could be using Chitika, Amazon affiliate product code, Ebay Partner Network, ClickBank, etc...

I can't advise one way or another on Adsense TOS questions. You can find the Adsense Program Terms of Service Here | along with an easy to follow Q&A Here.

I would encourage you to read and understand the policies linked above and the section on "Ad Placement", in particular appears to offer some relevant guidance:

Ad Placement

Publishers are encouraged to experiment with a variety of placements and ad formats. However, AdSense code may not be placed in inappropriate places such as pop-ups, emails or software. Publishers must also adhere to the policies for each product used.

Google ads, search boxes or search results may not be:

Integrated into a software application of any kind, including toolbars.
Displayed in pop-ups or pop-unders.
Placed in emails, email programs, or chat programs.
Obscured by elements on a page.
Placed on any non-content-based page. (Does not apply to AdSense for search or mobile AdSense for search.)
Placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads.
Placed on pages whose content or URL could confuse users into thinking it is associated with Google due to the misuse of logos, trademarks or other brand features.
Placed on, within or alongside other Google products or services in a manner that violates the policies of that product or service.

[Tom Oxby]

Where I really noticed the difference is when I converted one of my sites to a Clickbump theme and noticed that my sales have increased. There is a support forum and Scott is very receptive to ideas. I recommend it.

[servent1]

@clickbump

Hi Scott,
Wow, been searching too long for the right themes. Can I sell my website on flippa some day using your themes?

I'm almost sold and sounds like the best package is the way to go.

[Barry Unruh]

Servent1,

If you go to this page: Premium Templates for Review & Authority Sites*|*clickbump.com

You will see the variety of Templates Scott offers. You will notice some of them are actually ideally suited for affiliate offers. (And I'm not even a customer, yet...but will be very soon.)

[servent1]

@clickbump

Also, can you add most any plugins to the themes without a hitch?

[clickbump]

Yes, I'd say 99% of all plugins are compatible.

However, if I've done my job as a theme creator, you won't need many, if any at all. You'll may want Google XML site maps if you are publishing a sitemap, and Akismet to prevent comment spam if you accept comments, but that's really it unless you are doing something super specialized.

Some people use W3 Total cache, but its really not needed since the sites are very well coded and streamlined to be very fast and responsive.

The #1 plugin I've hopefully made obsolete is "All in One SEO". You absolutely DO NOT need that one with ClickBump.

Hope that helps!

I use it, it's a good piece of software. I had a lot of success with Scott's clickbump SEO! product so I decided to take the plunge into the clickbump themes.

Scott's customer service is top notch. Don't have any stats to rate the themes yet. I built 31 Adsense sites this month so in a couple of month's I'll know for sure.

So far it I can't complain at all.

[kafai]

use clickbump theme together clickbump seo is great for minisite

[Rukshan]

I like scott's support. Now I like this adsense theme to build mini sites.

[dagaul101]

I think experimenting with different themes will give diferent results, but by and large I think the content and ad copy, and placement all factor in regardless of the theme

[servent1]

@clickbump

Scott,
Could you please answer my question about selling a site with your theme? Can that be done, ie, using flippa.com?

[raul kate]

Great,
I was not aware of clickbump...
Now i know that how to make good use of it...

Hi Servent, sorry I missed your post. Yes, you can sell a site on flippa as long as you have a developer's license

You should make clear, as the terms of your sale, that the buyer needs to obtain a license to receive support and updates.

[servent1]

@clickbump

Scott,
I read your developers link but still little confused. If I sell the site and have the new buyer purchase a license what license would they need to purchase and how much would that be? Also, if I did it that way, would I not need to buy a developers license myself since my buyer is purchasing a license?

[clickbump]

They need to buy the same product you purchased at current prices. The best approach for you is to sell them the software through your affiliate link.

I've sent you a PM in case you need more information.

[SUPER IM]

Heatmap personally, but Clickbump is also good! Both convert at about 5% for me.

[outwest]

If it were me and I was selling an adsense site which carried the Clickbump theme on it , Even for a few hundred bucks
I would pay for the clickbump theme charges for the buyer of my site
just a courtesy
otherwise the buyer would be confused and complain

[consultmartins]

Dear Scot, i love your clickbump software and i'm interested in buying it. But i have a problem. I tried to order and i was redirected to paypal. Unfortunately, my country Nigeria is not accepted by paypal. Will you be willing to accept a wire transfer. If yes, please pm me your account details. Thanks.

[cisco7819]

Scot,
is there an upgrade path if I buy the lower price package and decide to go with the full monty?

Yes, you can pay the difference between what you've already paid and the current retail of the bundle package at the time you decide to upgrade.

Thanks for your interest!

Hey Scott, I bought it back in Jan, but I never use it...

Which one of those 12 templates is better for adsense???

I just went through it but I couldn't find any pdf or video showing how to use it

Do I need any activation key/code???

Best Regards,

[clickbump]

@Greenfatman:

All of the templates perform well since they all share the same ad position zones above the fold. Your choice will depend on personal preference and the "look" you feel works best for your niche.

You can get support via the support forum or directly via email. Just let me know if there's something you need. The PDF is attached to your download box at the member's dashboard. We have FAQ's, tutorials and screencasts at the owner's forums.

If I buy any of express/express with jumpstart/bundle packages, can I use on multiple sites of my own?

I think only when I need to sell my site to other person, I would need developer license.


Thanks.

Yes, you can install the software on ALL sites that you own.

[David A Griffiths]

I've been using Clickbump SEO on every one of my posts for the last 6 months at least. It's just brilliant. Takes all the guess-work out of your on-page SEO and leaves you more time to concentrate on those pesky backlinks! Worth every cent IMHO!

Just one minor niggle though: sometimes recently it has been hanging when trying to read in LSI. it doesn't lock the page, just means I have to go back to using my (rusty!) imagination.

Is there a known issue on this, Scott?

Anyway, thanks for an invaluable plugin.

I never use anything marketed or sold to game Adsense... why? Because of the obvious reason. Footprints = bad.

This theme doesn't "game Adsense," if that's what you're suggesting...

I actually am not that familiar with it, all I know from doing this as long as I have is if you follow the herd - you get slaughtered.
