This Web Marketing Blog was started in June 2008, as the blog started to gain traffic I decided to offer the best possible value to my readers. I’ve decided to change the blog theme and recently purchased the popular Thesis Wordpress Theme. I am excited to power this blog on it.
Why I choose The Thesis Wordpress Theme
Thesis Wordpress Theme powers more than 5000 blogs. Most of the top blogs use the Thesis Theme and the theme was on my list of priorities for this blog since a long time. Check Copyblogger.com, Sugarrae.com, ChrisBrogan.com and Twitip.com all these blogs are powered by Thesis.
Thesis is a premium theme which will cost you $87 for a personal license (or single license : can be used only on a single or one blog) and $164 for a developer’s license ( or unlimited license : can be used on unlimited number of blogs ), I purchased the developer’s license for $164 and recommend you to go for the same to be able to use it on unlimited blogs. I’ve purchased the developers license as it would be a good investment in the long run.
Thesis Wordpress Theme is rock solid and comes with a very clean look and feel, less code ( which will help getting your blog posts indexed much faster on Google and other search Engines as Thesis is a very Search Engine Optimized theme ) and a great support community. All these elements will improve this blog and make it look more authoritative and professional. I will also work on further improving the blog and hopefully you will like the changes I make.
But this blog is all about you, not me
I would like to know your thoughts on moving this blog to The Thesis Wordpress Theme. Do you think I should move this blog to The Thesis Wordpress Theme ? or Do you like the blog the way it is ? I would like you to decide the best fit for this blog.
Feel free to write to me via comments or via contact us form if you have any suggestions and thoughts on moving this blog to the Thesis Wordpress Theme.

Thesis is an amazing theme, but your blog looks great now…why do you want to move to thesis ?

I like the backend structure of thesis and the clean look. The front end is very easily customizable, which means that I can have the same look and feel of this blog powered on a much better and cleaner code at the backend.

Yeah ZK, complicated structure may tire your readers while reading your blog post. I do prefer clean and neat background too. Btw, I won the 4 themes in BlogThemesClub, I’ll soon switch to one of the themes, that would be Anima Theme. How do you think about these 4 themes ZK?

Hi Lee,
Congrats , winning 4 themes is great , but I am not sure if it would be a great fit to your niche. I have nt heard of this theme, but since you are in the MMO niche you may want to consider Ultimate Blogging Theme, its a proven theme that works well in the MMO , Internet Marketing , SEO niche
.-= Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..This Blog will soon be Powered by Thesis Wordpress Theme =-.
Thanks ZK, I’m going to switch my theme to Anima theme, I believe that it’s relevant to my niche as well.
Btw, I’ve checked out Ultimate Blogging Theme before, I’ve asked for them for quotation as well, the price is high (perhaps it’s not expensive but I’m not affordable for that.), about $2500 for a customize theme if i was not mistaken.
Anyway, definitely I’ll get one in future. 🙂
Regards,
Lee
I don’t think you need a custom theme right now….A premium blog theme is a good start for your blog, you can think of changing to a custom theme when you get significant traffic on your blog but these are just my views 🙂
.-= ZK@Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..Learn Affiliate Marketing with Affiliate Classroom =-.
Perhaps you’re right, a premium blog theme should be good right now since a customize theme is too expensive and I’m not afford to pay this. ZK, is your time to get a custom theme for your blog? 😀

Theme looks ok ..i can rate 7/10
I think your blog looks outstanding but I can see the appeal with Thesis. I have been thinking about making the switch as well. I have heard it is good for seo as well. Good luck with the move and I will be checking back soon to see the new look.
.-= Tycoon Blogger@Make Money Blogging´s last blog ..Monetize Your Blogroll – Do you? =-.
Thanks, I am glad you like the present theme…I am very confused if I should make the switch to Thesis..since a majority of my readers like the present blog theme
.-= ZK@Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..This Blog will soon be Powered by Thesis Wordpress Theme =-.
ZK, my take on it is this… if something works… why break it? I know we as bloggers and webmasters are always looking to improve, but sometimes… the outside view might be different. Perhaps a poll asking you’re readers, with screenshots of both… Thesis vs the current look, whichever wins… is the blog theme.
Till then,
Jean
Looking forward to see your blog customization done with Thesis.
I’ll stick to my “simple” thesis design 🙂

You blog looks great on thesis 🙂
.-= ZK@Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..This Blog will soon be Powered by Thesis Wordpress Theme =-.
i am also waiting to see the customized Thesis theme on your blog for new looks. And yes its worth buying developers license of Thesis theme as its worth having on our wp blogs
.-= Custom term paper´s last blog ..Un astudentessa racconta la propria preparazione agli esami universitari a Bari =-.
It’s a very attractive, very flexible theme. It will, however, cost you some money: $87, last I heard. (Which is not much more than I spent on Movable Type before switching to WordPress, come to think of it.)
Hey ZK,
From what I heard, Thesis is heavily server intensive. But I heard it from a developer in India (whose opinion I trust, but who may not have as much experience with Thesis as others). Would like to hear some other thoughts to find out what people think about it being too intensive to run on a heavily visited site.
Warmest,
Jonathan

Its not a heavy to run site, top bloggers would not run their blogs on it if thesis had any such issues
ZK, I do really excited to see your thesis wordpress theme in this blog. Honestly, I prefer you switch to thesis wordpress theme instead of using this one. Anyway, no matter which theme you’re switched too, I will still like your blog because you always have great content to be shared.
ZK, switch it! 😀
Regards,
Lee
.-= Make Money Online´s last blog ..John Chow Is Back! =-.
Thanks Lee….I am glad you like the content of this blog, Content playes a vital role in making a blog, but one needs to consider the design factor as well…
I am in love with thesis, but not sure if I should switch to the thesis theme for this blog
.-= ZK@Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..This Blog will soon be Powered by Thesis Wordpress Theme =-.
You deserve it ZK, what I like your blog is that you always shared latest news on the blogosphere with us. Design would be important as well when it comes to keep your reader to return the 2nd time.
Anyway, have you bought the theme?
Regards,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong´s last blog ..10 Blog Commenting Strategies That Drive Traffic =-.
Yes, I bought the Thesis Theme developers license 2 month ago…At present I am using it on my other blogs

That’s great, I’m not going to invest in the premium blog theme yet but definitely I’ll order a customize theme in future. 😀

Thank you for this article. If you seek Premium WordPress themes you should a check out. Elite Wordpress themes
It sounds like an awful lot of money for a theme. Do you have any statistical evidence from several sources that supports the improved SEO claim?
great work on the new look
Would be a Good move, a great move. Eagerly waiting for your new site’s new avatar.
.-= Shanker Bakshi´s last blog ..How to Make Money By Creating Fun Videos =-.
You are right Shanker its really a great move and i think his decisions is appropriate. carry on.
That’s a wise decision! Recently i read a blog about all the detailed features of Thesis Theme and was amazed to see the clean and smart Theme presented by wordpress. I am waiting and looking forward to see to what makeover it does to your blog,i think its going to look great!!!
I like the current theme more then the thesis theme. Maybe cos i worked on it or cos its more colorful…
your current theme is kind of heavy.
Try saving this web page (complete)…the size of all files would add upto 1.2 Mb
Think about how slow your site would load for a user with dial up connection.
Thanks for all the hard work you have done to make this blog look better 🙂
I agree that I love the clean look of the Thesis theme, but I had no idea it was so expensive! This is something that I to have wanted to do for my own blog, but I’m going to have to budget that cost in for myself.
thanks for this theme , looks good .
Excellent choice! The Thesis theme really has a very organized, uncluttered look, and allows for easy site navigation. Will look forward to seeing this one powered by this awesome theme.
Great idea to choose this kind of amazing theme.
I like it a lot.
Also the price is not too high for something like this.
I’m trusting in everything you’ll decide!
Looks like Thesis is probably the way of future blogging. It has a clean look which is easier on the eyes.
I really like the thesis theme. It really does have a lot of features built into it. Greg Ellison

.-= ZK@Web Marketing Blog´s last blog ..Learn Affiliate Marketing with Affiliate Classroom =-.
Its looks good I really like it. Thanks for sharing it.
ZK, you are currently not yet on Thesis Theme right? While the theme looks pretty neat, I still do not know if it is Adsense friendly. Do keep us updated on its performance! 🙂

.-= paul´s last blog ..Horrified Mom Sees Baby for Sale Online =-.
Go with Thesis , although I also like this blog ,a lot it is a good way to find thtis good info.nice to take this ..keep it up….

Yeah ZK, complicated structure may tire your readers while reading your blog post. I do prefer clean and neat background too.
I trust, but who may not have as much experience with Thesis as others). Would like to hear some other thoughts to find out what people think about it being too intensive to run on a heavily visited site.
I fully agree with your comment. All the wordpress themes that provided by this great blog are awesome. I implemented few of them and they are really cool..
I am a regular viewer of this blog and that would be good for it
Your present theme also looks awesome…but as you mentioned the advantages of Thesis theme, I think it would be beneficial if you go for it…
.-= Compute Live´s last blog ..Download Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 E and N Editions =-.
In Wordpress 2.7 (current version) you can go to appearance and then select edit. From there you will see a list of all the files that run wordpress on the right side. Select stylesheet.css and look for the two content area and find the styling and make changes.
The last option of course (which is hard to know) is depending on your theme there might be an extra set up options based on the theme that would allow you do do this. For example the Mandigo theme and Semio Logic theme both allow you to set your sidebars right or left or any combination thereof.

Professional themes. I thinks we see this actions very soon.

Themes are looking really elegant and they have a professional look.
I have been hearing a lot about how WordPress themes are not very optimized for the search engines, and came across a blog post mentioning that it was the best out there. Anybody have experience using the Thesis Theme for WordPress?

you should get a custom theme
Yes custom themes really make a blogger stand out.

Its surprising how even a subtle change here and there can make a big difference on the appearance of a site. All 3 blogs use the same template yet look completely different. I do like the beachbody design looks very clean. If you are learning css and not too confident yet, firebug is a good firefox plugin for playing around with the code and viewing the results live.
Great post, nice blog.Thanks for sharing :)I will surely bookmark you blogWell done
The themes are praiseworthy.They look very clean and professional.No doubt they will bring results to satisfy the user’s ambitions.

Great! Thank for your share the free stuff 🙂 , Its helpfull for me
Great theme choice! I think it will be a good move, I think that layout is simpler and easier to concentrate with
ZK I just switched my blog theme to the frugal theme on wordpress and I’m very happy with it. I also like cleaner sites so I integrated my site into the theme as well. I dont think you will be disappointed with the move.
.-= Ackley Gaskin´s last blog ..Don’t break your brand promise =-.
Awesome theme buddy and I’m pretty much sure that after implementation of it you will definitely get more sponsors. Thanks for sharing..
I’ve been looking at the Thesis theme for quite sometime now. I’ve looked at a number of others as well, but keep coming back to Thesis as I like the versatility and described ease of use. I especially like the idea of not having to muck with any code (which I can do, but don’t like). I like the look and feel of your layout, so I guess I’m going to have to bite the bullet and grab the developer license.
I like the Thesis theme myself, and am looking forward to seeing what your final result looks like. When do you plan on switching over?
Hi Jacques,
I want to make the switch but this present blog theme is doing well. I am going with the old saying, ” Dont fix , if it aient broken ” 🙂 …but moving to Thesis is on top of my blogging priorities

Thesis Theme is getting more and more popular!
that is because the appearance and good stats in speed
I like the backend structure of thesis and the clean look. The front end is very easily customizable, which means that I can have the same look and feel of this blog powered on a much better and cleaner code at the backend.

Thanks for this theme , very nice looks.
Yes I think you should move it as it will improve design standard and also the matter of fact that a new design always attracts returning users too.
That’s great, I always go for web 2.0 standards. and this is really wonderful.
Too bad that the single license is so expensive. The difference between licenses should have been bigger.
