    i use one called 33module and it's not bad, takes some tweaking.
    you can see it at trademygadget dot com

    when you start playing with the sidebars, you can add the 'text' option and add google adsense text into it but I guess you knew that.

    Guys,
    My current theme has given me a adsense CTR of 4.79% since 1st may. But it can't be tweaked. Pls. suggest me a better WP Theme which can beat the current CTR.

    Personally I think it is all about where you put the ads and what type of ad format you use.

    I was not doing very well but since I moved my ads aroun and used different formats I have seen a vast improvement in my clicks (I'm getting about $0.50 where as before I would get about $5.00 a month).

    Falguni,
    Those articles are PLR articles. I don't think you can use them as plrpro may have objections. But they are duplicate content for you to use.
    Bio Brain,
    How much is your CTR?

    This is not bad CTR. My ridiculous theme is giving me 4.7% CTR in may so far. I am looking for a better one.
    BTW, Whats the CTR for the half banner you have put on header.
    I am also experimenting on Adsminded theme. Its CTR is good but pay-out seems quite less.
    Thanks

    theme doesn't matter i think.. and i think it's on the ad placement :D every theme is best for adsense just be smart where you must put the ads and blend the colors.

    niessuh,
    I don't fully agree with you here. I have tried placing ads at the same location in different theme and I got different CTRs/results. Theme has the ability to repel the visitors towards ads. So attractive theme will give lesser CTR. Thats what I think.

    Interesting theory. Didn't seem to work on my ugly themes though.

    I never got 5 a day your confusing me with someone else. The themes I was using for months, they were very ugly. My click through rate dropped a few months ago, well before i switched the themes in end of march.

    I think everyones click through rate has dropped cause people have less money to spend and i remember reading an article last year that its been going down steadily due to ad blindness.

    Cutline is a very good theme. Good CTR and more importantly good SEO.

    I've added AdSense and search engine optimisation to 10 WordPress themes that I sell at http://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/

    Recently added AdSense to Cutline as well (see site above).

    All the themes are easy to change AdSense settings including publisher ID, colours, ad size, round/square borders etc... by editing just one file. They are all fully widget compatible allowing easy movement of the sidebar ad unit.

    I'm so confident you won't find better online I'll give a free WordPress theme if you do.

    BTW saw some of my older themes in one of the links above, I also own http://www.morearnings.com/ which includes half a dozen or so free AdSense/SEO WordPress themes http://www.morearnings.com/category/wordpress-themes/. Those are my version 02 themes and lack a lot of features found in the latest version (03).

    Heck of a lot of people still use the version 02, (the Blix page has 70 odd comments) they are the second best SEO/AdSense themes online :) I no longer update them so some don't work correctly in WordPress 2.5 (Blix has a few problems for example and back then I didn't care about widgets).

    If you don't mind living with a few bugs that developed as WordPress updates they are still better than anything else I've seen online. But if your looking for maximum AdSense revenue buy the new ones, some of my WordPress installations have CTRs above 5%**.

    **High CTR is not just about the theme, my highest CTR blog (gets 7% some days!!) has unique travel related content, but it only offers a small amount of content per post. This leaves the visitors wanting more and so they click the relevant ads (ads are very relevant with my themes as added target AdSense coding).
