I noticed that people buy link on newly released wordpress templates. How many backlinks / traffic can you expect to get within one month from one medium quality template ?
if you are considering sponsoring WP theme as a link building method, then you need to sponsor not one theme but many. and nothing is gonna happen in a month. if you sponsor a few with footer link encryption, then maybe in 6-9 onths you will see few backlinks. it also depends on the theme you sponsor since how good the theme is determines how many downloads there will be
Well.. frankly not many for a medium quality template.. because designers are releasing so many themes everyday and it's very hard even to get 5 backlinks from a medium template.
