I know that this subject was overtalked,but I want to be sure that I know which theme should I pick. Right now Im using bluesense wordpress theme and it seems to be working just fine for me,but I heard that CTR theme and clickbump themes are also very very good. What are your thoughts about the best adsense themes,which themes give you the highest click rate? |

Bluesense - Best free adsense theme (in terms of CTR) CTR theme - Best adsense theme (in terms of CTR) HeatMap Theme (free) is also good if you want to keep the look of the website more professional while getting a good CTR |

Paid themes lets look at 1. CTR 67 dollars (no longer supported, author has disappeared) 2. Clickbump 47 dollars (awesome support, the programmer, Scott, is a board member here , and he will bust his butt to answer your questions, no matter how many you have) You choose |

I don't care where Eppie went, CTR Theme has made me thousands more than I'd have if I still used Clickbump on all of my sites... CTR Theme it is for me!

| You can customize Clickbump WAY more than you can CTR so there is no way that CTR gets better CTR ratios unless the webmaster doesnt know how to control the settings They are both customizable but Clickbump has way more settings IMO |

The guys that keep preaching theme support makes a WP theme better than the rest are full of BS, they haven't tested very many themes, I'm sure just by how they are stuck on a single theme. I've been in Adsense for 5 years & tested at least a hundred themes (no joke). The Adsense theme needs to be very simple in design, very few theme images + very few post images. You don't need support past day #1 after installing a theme, either the theme works or it doesn't! If it doesn't work by day #2, get a refund! I've used Wordpress themes from 2007 that have never been updated & they still work today! Who the heck needs support on day 97 for a theme? Get real! |

| I suggest you test themes yourself on your own sites. Some common things I've found in all of my own sites is:
If you already have the CTRtheme (I think you said you did) then test the theme on your own site/traffic. Don't slap the theme on the site & 2 days later say the CTR sucks, I'm moving on to another theme. Colors & Ad block location can increase/decrease CTR by large percentages on the same theme, you have to test it yourself, nobody can do these things for you. Anytime you make a change to the page (colors, Ad location, Ad size, etc...) make sure to track the data for at least a week before making new changes, it doesn't matter If you lose money for that week (trust me on this, think long term), you have to track the data & that will tell you which theme combo is best for your site. Everything I said above is exactly why CTRtheme has Ad rotation built into the site, it's for testing & gathering data to determine what actually gets higher CTRs. Keep in mind, I'm not selling CTRtheme so I don't really care If anyone ever buys the theme or not. I like the theme & what it has to offer (simplicity & Ad rotation). Test, test, test... |

I like Niche Adsense Theme. It's not very customizable. I use it for small micro niche sites but get an excellent CTR. It's always in the double digits.

"TAKE ACTION" is the first thing everyone tells you and then they leave it at that. I'll add a second part: TRACK EVERYTHING" - It's the only way to ensure your ACTION leads to results.

CTR Theme is being supported again. Eppie has been replying to support tickets, at least that's what I'm being told by CTR Theme users lately. I'd highly recommend Clickbump theme. The base Amaze template you get with the Clickbump Engine for $17 is amazing...And even more amazing is Scott's support. | |

ya i dont think i would feel comfortable using a pirated theme on a site what if the owner of the theme, sent an email to Adsense saying you are stealing his theme without paying for it? |

I have started using Thesis 1.8b4 on my last couple of blogs. It is quite flexible, but it invalidates one of my plugins that I like to use. I am having to learn how to do without it. I don't know how well it will do with AdSense, but I guess I will find out. Anyone got any experience with this one. |

If you ask me, I would go for adsense pro ultimate theme or with Beink CTR Theme. Reason is its functionality is awesome and you can get good CTR compared with other themes around...

I'm a web designer and when I first started out with Adsense, I thought I can make much prettier sites than this but now I get it, it's the ugly sites that make the money! A compromise for me is Matt Carters affiliate theme. It doesn't look too bad and it converts well. |

All of these Adsense themes have one major issue: the website with this theme (any of them) looks like ****. It looks awful and outdated, like the site in 90s.

I keep seeing people recommend clickbump, but there are so many sub-themes to choose from. It's like saying fruit is your favorite food, rather than saying bananas are your favorite food... Which one does the best for adsense? Especially considering the new google layout algorithm update... |

I haven't used any of the CTR or bluesense theme. In my opinion Socrates theme is also not bad in terms of CTR. I am getting contineous 5% CTR in one of my sites. |

it depends on the type of niche you are in, some do better some don't. I would go with adsense pro ultimate as I had much success with it...haven't tried any other CTR theme. Has anyone else having good results with adsense pro ultimate? |

Careful with the themes that claim they are silo structured. Linking to a category page isn't a silo. There's a lot more to it than that. |

Have a look at the Theme Grade website. They list free/paid themes and give them a SEO and general score. I have found quite a few nice themes there.
