Wordpress theme site

    Hi all, can you please take a look at my Word Press theme site

    http://www.themesthatdontsuck.com

    Im averaging about 900 uniques a month but I think I can do better. Most of the traffic is from my comments on other blogs and theme sites. Any tips for better SEO? I was thinking of adding a blog to the site but wasnt too sure. Also what do you think of the ad placement? My conversion rate for the premium templates is pretty low. Only 1 sale out of 4,000 unique impressions. Any ideas on how to improve that?

    Thanks

    I don't know about internet explorer but in Firefox, the text in the menu bar is not vertically centered.

    Other then that, the design is good and I just love some of those themes.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see much in the Head Tags...and the title of the page...Would you do a Google search for that? I like the looks of the page, but I don't see it generating much traffic... but like I said, maybe I'm missing something.

    Heh, I love the domain name, and your layout is pretty neat and clean.

    I would add some sort of subhead with some keywords, and add some content related to wordpress themes, such as how to install a theme, how to modify a theme and anything else you can think of that is theme related to show the SEs that your site is worth indexing higher.

    Content, content, content...and backlinks.

    I would take that banner ad off the top in the header. It makes you look too desperate for clicks. You have a very nice theme, but you are trying too hard to earn money from ads. With less than 900 uniques a month you are not going to earn very much. If you had 900 a day that would be a good amount to earn money from. The ads in the sidebar are fine, they look decent. Center the ad or take it out of the bottom. I love the design though.

    do your research right and see how other people are doing business, learn and come up with some thing better
    like "rank checker tool" (just for idea) do some with themes or something. Star up forum and have some sort of voting or someting on different themes. depends what is your business plan

    I like the domain name.

    The banner at the top seems out of place. Your logo might be a better fit.

    Someone mentioned content. I agree. How about some tutorials, articles, etc.

    Great themes. :)

    I like your site, However, your domain name is kind of long, your site is well organized and easy to find. :)

    Blonde girl in the green bikini caught my eye. I'm attracted to some of the themes you have listed also.

    The overall layout and design is good, to improve your conversion rate you need to improve
    your organic search results in the serp. When you have achieved better results in the serp
    you will receive more targeted traffic.

    Nice! Like it. Maybe some categories would be good, like "white", "2 columns"...
