themes don't help you earn money nobody would be interested in spending money on the "beauty" of the site...

True... A nice theme can contribute but you should put your focus on the content, in comparison it's kind of unrelevant. I'd just pick one out of all the free ones out there that looks nice.

I use the header and footer plugin for ads and experiment with themes. For seo using a clean theme is best but for high CTR I would always go with a paid theme. The theme you are talking about has a lot of bad reviews online. I would find something that is unusual and rare as this helps combat the ad blindness we have.

Check out MyThemeShop. They have some nice magazine-type themes that have wide enough sidebars for opt-ins and such.

Wrong question!
Themes don't convert. Period.
Content and offer determine your rates...

The call to action is what increases/decreases the CTR.

try theme from theme-id.com

All theme is fast loading and high CTR for Adsense.

In my opinion, both the theme and content are important.

You must think outside the box if you want to get people's attention. Depending on what your niche is about I know a lot of great theme.

However, the ones I'm talking about are not free. If you want a free WP Theme. You can make a search on google, typing "Free Wordpress theme" related to your niche. I started my first blog with a free Wordpress theme.

There are some Free plugin for Adsense, so the theme doesn't really matter.
