Almost exactly a year ago, I hired Sarah Lewis to redesign eMoms at Home. I really needed a custom theme, and didn’t realize all of the benefits that having a custom theme would provide this site until I hired her. Among other obvious marketing/branding benefits, the not-so obvious benefits were the nearly instant increase in search engine traffic that I started to receive when we rolled out the new theme.
Obviously, my site has evolved quite a bit since Sarah and I did this project together – I’ve changed it from a one-woman show to a network, reworked advertising, and eMoms at Home doesn’t look at all like it did one year ago. So Sarah and I decided to release my theme to the WordPress blogging community.
Some of the great benefits of the eMoms Legacy 1.0 Theme:
- Built for display advertising – with an options page to add your ad code easily
Ad units included:
Medium 300×250 or Large 336×280 Rectangle at the top of the sidebar – Best for ad network ads or self-promotion (newsletter signup, your ‘banana’ secton)
Standard 468×60 banner units between posts on the front page and archive/search/category pages – Best for Google AdSense ads or affiliate ads, text or banners
Medium 300×250 or Large 336×280 Rectangle between single posts and comment box – Best for AdSense Ads (my highest CTR spot on the site)
- Excellently optimized for search engines
- Widget Ready
- Support tags
- A handy spot to display a great motivational quote
I’m pleased to be able to donate this theme back to the community that has supported me for nearly two years. If you end up using this theme, please drop a link to it in a comment below so that everyone can see what others are doing with this great theme!
