Hi, Recently there are many sellers and buyers in sponsor wordpress theme. Is it a good idea? Buyers cannot predict how many links they get. Also many bloggers (All bloggers) Don't like the links like footer link: They dont like - Designed by a "Drug companey" & Sponsored by another "drug". So they simply change the footer, whether it is encrypted or not. Is that good?
I believe it is, I've used many free wp themes myself and if I don't like the footer then I don't use it. I wouldnt change the footer. Self respected bloggers would not break TOS, Now, if you talked about slapped bang make money quick kind of blogger, well that is different story
You are right. But it is unpredictable. Large no. of themes are coming everyday. Some Guys remove the footer. Is there any way to keep the link intact? (Everyone knows to remove encrypted footers)
You'd be better of trying contextual links therefore you know they will get placed in a orderly fashion from relevant sites.
Something to bear in mind is that the sort of people who remove the sponsored links are perhaps not the sort of people who's sites you want a backlink from, anyway. Probably the best way for you to get an answer to this is to sponsor a single link and see how well it has done for you after a few months.
It can be part of your linkbuilding strategy but i would put it at the last part. If someone realy wants to remove your links from the footer it's hard to stop. You can encrypt them but still there are ways around it. Indeed it's hard to predict how many links you will get. My experience is that it can range from just a handfull to thousands. I would however if you have the knowledge and time create several niche themes yourself and make that available. Fi if you have a site about dogs make several dogrelated themes. This way you are sure it will get not random links but related links
