When I was looking for insperation I found several themes that I showed before. But I also noticed that there were more and more places that offered premium/paid themes for wordpress.

So last week I spend all my time with finding premium themes. The only criteria I had was that it shouldn’t be free. Quality of design is something that is relative I do however find that a large number of these themes are much more beautifull then the onces that are available for free.

I have included the prices that were on the sites at the moment of writing. Most of the themes were available with a single domain licence and a multi domain licence. But it divers per developer what a multi domain licence realy is. sme have a 5 domain restriction and have a developer licence for unlimited domains. I haven’t split it out that far so if you are interested in buying a theme look for the licence info.

So without futher introductions … the 234 premium themes I found. If you see any mistake, have additions, spelling error s in names etc let me know.

A bit over a year ago I had an idea about automating several task with blogging. (I have many ideas) I named this wpoctopus. If you take a look at http://wpoctopus.com you can see the members area at http://wpoctopus.com/members/ but it never made it to full development.

The idea was born after installing 80+ wordpress sites in 2 weeks and till today they still make me about $600 a month. No work besides the 2 weeks of frantic work. I even have to admit that out of the 80 maybe 25 are realy setup the right way and the rest could do some work. After those two weeks i saw the potential of wordpress in full and wanted to automate all the tasks I had gone thru by hand. I spent the months June till October working on that project but finally gave up when the high season of my normal business came.

But I still believe in Wordpress and making it a cms for affiliate based sites. The power of wordpress in combination with plugins like related posts(products), ratings, xml sitemaps, auto socialmarker and more are in my eyes obvious. But installing wordpress with the right plugins, monetize it and managing it becomes almost impossible whn done by hand with more then 100 sites. And I for one believe that it’s easier to make a site that earns $1 day then it’s to make a ste that earns $100 a day. So automing the tasks of making that $1 a day site is what I had in mind but never finished.

I have looked at alternatives but none of the tools I saw advertised did what i wanted. Most of them were all hyped up and only covered one thing. An overview of these tools

Installing as many wordpresssites as you want:

http://www.blogmatrixpro.com
cost: $97

• 7 day trial for $1
• Mass install wordpress sites
• Manage plugins (delete, activate)
• 1 site to mage them all
• RSS to blog (automtic content creation ) if you wish

Easy content management

I stunled upon Windows Live Writer and like it. It’s free (i stay Dutch) and can be downloaded at http://get.live.com/writer/overview

It’s only practical as a content management system and not for installing, modifying or editing your blog.

Yesterday I got an email about something that comes close to WP Octopus tho…the call it FirePow
It comes in two flevors: basic and premium. The diverance is that with the premium you get access to 50+ blogs with high Pagerank to build links to your sites.

I think it’s a tool that really works. Will buy it this weekend and start a casestudy with it. So be ready to see a review of Firepow here

When you build a site about the topic the main research you should do is to try and get an idea which words will score. Upto now there were several ways to get global ideas about the searchvolum a word gets.

One of those is a free tool made for the 90 day challange by the owner of Wordtracker. At http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends/ you could enter a keyword or phrase and when you see the results there is a graphbar. If you click that you will get this result

There is a result that says actual vistors from Google. This is based upon Google Trends and comparing the word with a word Wordracker knows how many visitors came from that word as they hold the #1 position.

But it was still an estimation….untill yesterday. Google opened up the numbers and now shows actual data in stead of a green bar. Take a look at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Besides the search volum of your keyword you get also the search volum of relevant other keywords which will make it a lot easier to know which words to target… and best of all it’s FREEEEEEEE
