Hi

I've been using ctr theme for a while now and its great as far as the admin panel goes. I find it easy to use. And the ctr rate is good avg between 5-12% across my sites.

But I can't help but notice that the sites are a little ugly looking and dated when compared to heatmap. And I want my sites to look good.

Is heatmap just as easy to use from the admin panel? Whats your experiences with adsense themes and what are your recommendations?

    The recent theme that we've been testing out is the Niche Website Theme. So far it's been working really well for us. We've also tried prosense and blusense, but those ones are pretty ugly.

    Customizing any theme to your liking also isn't that hard if you don't mind doing a little bit of groundwork. Also it's not that hard to get va's to do this for you.

      I agree...I much prefer to customize theme for different niches, however I have had success with CTR theme.

      Cheers

      I've found using the All in one cufon plugin a great little addition to make your fonts look nicer. I'll check out the Niche Website Theme.

      Do you get your virtual assistance from sites like odesk?

    I'm still a HUGE fan of CTR theme, it's my favorite them to use with Adsense/Amazon

    If you know how to customize it it's BEAUTIFUL and converts extremely well

    Ive been using heatmap for pretty much all my sites these days. Its really customizable, great for adsense & CPA and you can get it looking really high quality and pro.

      I just got heatmap theme. Pretty good so far. They have a decent size forum and you can pm questions. I only know cuz I had to do that. Pretty good explanations of how to use it as well. In my opp. its worth it to take some extra time and learn how to use it so its easier and faster for you. I've heard CTR has no support and not ranking as good in google serps.

      I also saw another theme in the wso's called "clicker". Actually looks pretty nice and its only like $17 and comes with genesis framework. I haven't personally used it but it seems to be a good deal and I think it would be worth a try. A lot cheaper than $67. Also, if you are going to buy the heatmap theme, search online for a coupon and you can find one for $10 and save some $$$. Thats what I did.

        Heatmap pro is $67. I think they do have a free version but i heard the paid version is better so i went with that.

        I use Clickbump and I like it a lot but keep in mind that you need to rank well for any theme to work.

          I agree with tinknocker on this - your site needs to rank well for the keywords, only then you can expect to significant increase in revenue or ctr. however, it may vary depending upon the type of niche or sub niche you are in.

    If you are targeting for adsense income then you need not have to be nice. Only you need is good ad placements of ads. CTR themes/ Clickbump themes are good looking.
    If you are trying to search some affordable option then try mine

    you can really customize heatmap every inch of it..... you just past your adsense code into a txt/html widget and drop the widget in the loctation you want it to show
