I dont particularly like the look of this theme, its very dated, the code is a mess and it does not play well with widgets or the latest version of wordpress.
So you may be asking yourself “Why would I choose to use it”?
Great question. Simply put its because in its native design by WordPress designers it does a good job of hiding text links in its content. Here is a link in the content. Difficult to see hey, here is >another one< believe me when I tell you that there is no way i wasted my time editing the CSS to make it that way, its just like that out of the box.
Here are some other themes I have found that do a good job of hiding links in content strait out of the box:
- Maiden Voyage
- Jessica Fletcher Redux
- Jarrah
- Arjuna X
- The Knife WP
- Sail Away
- Recipress
Why would I even know these themes existed for this reason?
Because it is important when link building, that’s why! I can link left, right and center in my sites content and no one will be the wiser, it will look totally natural to the site visitors yet to Google and other search engines they will index the links and cant blame me for hiding them, it was just like that when I got here.
You may think that is a little over the top in trying to protect myself against being caught out practicing Grey hat SEO techniques but the truth is you can never be too careful and this will become more important when you have four of five hundred of these sites linking to your main domain/money site.
