Thesis Theme Review

Over the past few weeks I have been using the Thesis Theme from DIY Themes.  There is a lot of hype about the Thesis Theme.  After using it, I understand why.  Before buying the Thesis I was using free WordPress (WP) themes assuming it would perform just the same.  There are good free WP themes out there but the ones that I was using didn’t produce the results that I wanted.  I was only averaging one page view per visitor and that isn’t a lot.  I finally went ahead and bought Thesis and it was a good investment.

As soon as I installed Thesis, my traffic nearly doubled and my page views increased.  Then I started going through and transferring things from the Platinum SEO plug-in to the built in SEO (search engine optimization) of Thesis.  My traffic went up again, and now I’m averaging between 8 and 10 page views per visitor.

Thesis is a very versatile theme that’s easy to customize.  I’m not the greatest when it comes to coding and CSS but I didn’t have to be in order to customize my blog the way I wanted it.  There’s also a plug-in called Thesis OpenHook that is specifically designed for modifying Thesis.  I’ve installed the plug-in but haven’t had the opportunity to mess around on my practice blog.

The best thing about Thesis is the support forums.  I have browsed around the forums and found many resources.  If I have a question I know I can find the answer.  I haven’t read any of the tutorials yet but I will be later this week now that I have some spare time.

I’m extremely glad that I bought the Thesis Theme.  It did set me back $164 because I bought the developers package so I could use it on multiple blogs.  There is a personal option that costs $87 to use Thesis on one blog and to upgrade to the developers package it’s an extra $77.  I am an affiliate of DIY Themes and if you use my affiliate link, I will give you a discount after the 30-day trial period.  The discount details are as follows

If you purchase the Thesis Theme, you will not be disappointed.  I really see the difference in using a premium WordPress theme and a free theme.  I would have purchased the theme earlier if I knew the results it would produce.  To get the Thesis Theme using my affiliate link click here or click the sidebar banner.
