Adsense and WordPress Themes

[rthie]

I am an Adsense publisher and have a couple of questions;

I am trying to find out what is the best WordPress theme that has the best LAYOUT and CLICK-THROUGH rate for adsense. Ideally it needs to be a three column layout - left panel, right panel and of course main panel for content. I am trying to find a layout that is similar to XsitePro.

This leads me into my second question.

If anyone out there who is familiar with or has used XsitePro to build their web sites I am looking for a WordpPress theme that has a similar layout as XsitePro. XsitePro has a layout that is perfect for Adsense. A left column to place ads, a right column to place ads. An info bar that is above the main panel to place ads. And of course you can place ads in the content (main panel) area as well. So, in other words, the reason why XsitePro is perfect for Adsense is because it has four different sections to place ads.

As a matter of fact, although I have transitioned just about all of my XsitePro static sites over to WordPress, I am still getting more CLICK-THROUGHS on my XsitePro sites than on my WordPress sites even though I‘m getting ten times more traffic on my WordPress sites/blogs.

So if anyone knows what are the best WordPress themes that has the best LAYOUT and CLICK-THROUGH rates for adsense please let me know.

Would greatly appreciate some feedback on this…

Thanks Robert

hi Robert
saw your post and it seems we are in the same boat
i have long been an xsite pro adsense publisher but was considering a move over to WP themes. im still not certain if its the right way to go - or if the xsite pro is better optimized for faster things.

hows your migration going, did you find an ideal template?
i was going to suggest heatmap pro to you, and bluesense
however i have not tried them yet -im still not sure i want to migrate or try and improve my xsite themes with rss feeds and make them look more like blogs instead.
whats your thoughts?

Clickbump
has
1. the most positive reviews on the board
2. reasonably priced
3. very easy to change all the settings which are mostly set up for Adsense
4. auto creates pages for Privacy policy , contact us, etc etc
5. The programmer who wrote the code (Scott) is a member of the board here, and offers amazing support (as opposed to CTR theme which is no longer supported)

I will say that as a somewhat Adsense newbie, the MOST important to me is support, if I have questions I want them answered and Scott has been more than helpful, I have had days where I sent him 7 pm's in one day on his forum, and he answered them all. Great guy

What did I pay for mine? (by the way CTR theme is $67 for a non supported theme)

For Clickbump I paid $64
This included
Jumpstart Pro Engine
SEO Plugin (analyzes SEO of every post)
SILO Theme (xfactored2.0)

You can hardly even find Silo Plugins or Themes for Wordpress One I found was $147, so the fact that Clickbump is optimized for Silo? Well if you research this you will realize how difficult it is to find, and you will appreciate finding a reasonably priced Silo Structure integrated into a very slick Adsense Platform .

I am using Thesis Theme. I am happy with this. Increase more adsense revenue?
