During my heydays of trying to make money using Adsense, I was crazy about all those Adsense Optimized WordPress Themes that we see ever so often. I tried every theme that claimed to be optimized for Adsense hoping to increase my earnings, but the dream of becoming another Joel Comm never materialize due to all the false information I got. It was very much later that I learned that to make money from adsense, I need to have very niche blogs with keywords that could attract visitors who are looking for information of the topic I’m blogging about. That realization again raised hope for me to become rich.
Since it was necessary to have niche blogs, I started looking for WordPress Themes that are suitable for my niche. I had big big plans to start an Adsense empire of 50 niche blogs with the expectation of making at least 300 dollars per month from each blog. I did find the Themes I was looking for. In case you still haven’t learned, a WordPress Theme optimized for Adsense got to look real boring and not too attractive. Some make it plain ugly so visitors will want to click out rather as fast as possible.
However….
You Do Not Need Adsense Optimized Themes
It was very much later that I realized my foolishness. I could use any theme and inserted the same Adsense Ads, All those so called Adsense OptimizedThemes offered was a different header image. What I needed most was traffic and it has to be Search traffic.
You should realize that only people who are looking for information will click on Ads. A guy coming to your blog to read your stories will never be clicking on anything. They might leave a nice comment or two then leave. For a blog trying to earn money from Adsense, these visitors are no good. You need visitors who comes searching for information. If what your blog give them is not enough they will search further by clicking on your Ads because Adsense displays Ads that are relevant to your contents.
You Need A SEO Theme Instead.
If you want to increase Search traffic you must have a good SEO Theme. If you can afford the money, invest in a Theme like the Thesis Theme. This Theme is coded in such a way that Search spiders sees everything more clearly that an ordinary Theme. Your post gets indexed faster. Search traffic increases significantly after using it for a month or so.
So instead of wasting your time looking for an Adsesne Theme hoping to make more money from Adsense, get an SEO Theme instead. You can increase your traffic. More traffic naturally means more clicks and more clicks means more money.




Adsense optimized themes aren’t as useful as everyone things. The themes don’t look too good, so you’re better off getting plugins that allows you to get better adsense rates.
