Does Sponsoring Wordpress Themes Work?

Yes it works fine and can make you even #1 if you put the right keywords. This is not made to bring traffic but to give you quality links-eventually. Lots of sites and companies are doing it and it is both profitable and trustful

Good Luck!

What type of wordpress templates do people generally like the most?

or

What niche of blogger uses wordpress the most?

 

While this does work now, it will not in the near future. This is one of the link building tacktics Google is clamping down on (as per cutts). This also goes along with the general clampdown on footer links to external sites. For now it seems to work but the last couple Google changes may have already made them obsolete and it is not yet being noticed.

 

That would suck if that was true. Do you have a source to confirm this statement?

 

google also hitting on paid links right? so this means all of this link building techniques are hated by google...

 

I don't have time this morning to find the post he was talking about it. here is one of his references http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-to-report-paid-links/

wordpress theme sponsorship works and for it wont hurt your rankings unless you hide your links.

 

Sounds good to me. Anthing that has the potential to go Viral with backlinks can equal good traffic/PR.
