Guys...cant you just use a different theme?

All those sites look the same...i don't know whether its those Xfactor or Google Sniper sites...but the sites i am talking about all use that "NeoEase" theme and all look the same.
Go get a LITTLE creative at least

    Totally agree with you, it's starting to become so obvious, I've seen thousands of websites with the exact same template, all micro niche websites, most of which were terrible. :/

    Why do you even care? Maybe the theme converts.

    90% of my product niche sites use the same xfactor themes and they ALL make money, it's been 4 months now and Google really doesn't care about something as redundant as "theme".

    As long as it's working, there's no reason to drop it.

    Maybe it's the best converting theme.

    I must admit for my Xfactor sites the designer in me took over and I made my own 'gloss' version from scratch, it still follows the basic principles but looks a little trick

    I think the point is it converts GeorgR, might be dull but actually dull's the name of the game.

    All they want is for somebody to click on their adsense, so they don't want a nice looking site distracting them with it's lovelyness.

    That theme was pretty extensively tested, and came out on top.

    So they all use it.

    Creativity has it's place, conversions are far more exciting.

    Great advice George. I too mix up my themes as well.

    I've got about 10 different themes I need to publish in a revised manual
    to share - they all do well.

    I never imagined that so many people would be interested in my book
    to begin with, or else I probably would have tested more themes out to
    share in the 1st edition.

    The theme does not really matter, even if all your sites use the same theme. Think about Wordpress or Blogspot....there are millions of blogs using the default theme...
    As long, as your site has good, relevant and quality content (not 1 page, but atleast a few articles) and is well structured, with About us, privacy, contact us, etc.. you won't have a problem with Google.

    However, I have to mention this:
    Whatever reasons I mentioned above, I trust and completely believe them - STILL I am paranoid...and I make a conscious effort to mix up themes and make different looking sites..I don't know why I am scared..I don't know.

    (1) If it works (especially if it requires little effort), then stick with it.

    (2) why do you care?

      I was thinking the same thing, why would someone who is making 5-6 thousand a month from Clickbank even worry about it?

        Just curious to know why people pick on those green adsense sites, complaining about their presense. What about Wordpress sites such as:

        http://loans-creditcard.com/(Found this on the signature of a fellow warrior, apologies for using this as an example )

        There is tonnes of these type of sites, the layout is the same every-where except a different colour scheme. And most of them, may be I am wrong do not make much money, because there is just too much distraction with the layout and the graphics.

          I agree, way too much eye candy. I get the click with sites that look like they are out of 1998.
