Good Free WordPress Premium themes

If you are looking for free wordpress themes you will fun in a big issue, you will either come upon many pages where they try to get you to buy the theme, affiliate link sites, poor quality themes, or even worse themes with bad links in them. Or the worse scenario, themes with virus or malware.

Even if you find the right theme unless it’s well supported you will come across issues sooner or later. The best option is to get free themes from premium sellers who offer the free themes as marketing and provide good updates and support. Here are some that I found:

 

Woothemes free themes:

Makes one of the best engines for wordpress themes. You can expect good integration and quality. The style is professional as well as it has some that are more playful.

Fearless Themes:

The themes look really great and has a nice design concept to it. There is a large selection but the configuration options are limited.

Site5 free themes:

Themes are professionally design and good layout but it adds playful graphics to it. Good for web 2.0 websites that are casual but serious business sites. They provide great hosting service. They offer these themes to promote their company so you can expect good support and updates.

WP Shower:

Minimalist themes. Great for arts and fashion businesses that need simple elegant themes. They also recently started have premium paid themes. With their minimalist design there is not many options in the back to customize the themes.

Best SEO Plugins for WordPress Blog

The success of your site depends on SEO on your site. And I highly recommend using WordPress which is what this blog is based on. If you do, here are the top plugins to install:

  1. All in one SEO – Many custom features to optimize your site
  2. Bing404 – Biggest issue with sites is that there can be dead links, a dreaded 404 page. Don’t waste that SEO juice, get Bing404 and it will provide search results from your blog or from Bing search engine.
  3. Disqus Comment System – People can communicate quickly then you will get more traffic.
  4. Efficient Related Posts – This grabs a bunch of related posts and publish it on the bottom of your post. This provides more links and keep your readers on longer which both is great for SEO. I’ve try a few and this one provides more relevant posts.
  5. TweetMeMe – Shows the number of tweets and enable people to retweet your post. More links on twitter and more traffic, the better!
  6. WP to Twitter - Updates Twitter when you create a new blog post.

Other important plugins:

  1. Ultimate Google Analytics – Make sure to track your site and monitor traffic. Google Analytics is the top free tracking software.
  2. Follow me – If you use twitter, this makes a custom link on the side of your blog for people to follow you on twitter.
