Review the Socrates Theme for WordPress

 
After many months delayed, finally had the opportunity to test and write this review to the issue of Socrates WordPress Theme. The Socrates Theme is one of the more WordPress themes used by affiliate marketers to create niche sites to promote products, and is also a WordPress theme optimized for use with Adsense.

The great advantage of Socrates Theme is a setting that allows the detail of many aspects of the subject, as the color of links, titles of posts, placing Adsense ads and banners, all in an easy and intuitive, without having to go to search code for hours. And even assuming that they know the code to move a WordPress theme, something that the vast majority of readers, myself included, does not make very much at home.

 The general appearance of the theme, such as the inclusion or not of sidebars, and location are also configurable. As are the images of background and header, and where we can choose from hundreds of options. The headers are available with the theme greatly facilitate the creation of niche sites to include a header image that fits in perfectly with the theme of the new site.

For certain types of sites, social media is also an extra slider interesting, and allows you to rotate banners (included) for the profile on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and RSS, or other banners, and in this case just add the code in their place.

Another detail of the theme is the ability to disable the date, author name, and comments on posts. We are obviously talking about something that can also be done "manually" through amendments to the theme code, but so is reduced to a single click.

For anyone to make affiliate marketing more seriously, Socrates Theme also includes layouts for sales pages and squeeze pages, where you just need paste the code from YouTube or video form to capture email addresses. Since the plugins to make squeeze pages have normally cost some money.

Over the past year I have purchased and tested many WordPress themes, and one of the things I liked was that Socrates, in spite of all the options you can configure, install and get all the theme settings in about 15 minutes. And this without reading any instructions, as I like :-)

Adsense Optimization

Although Socrates comes labeled as a theme for affiliate marketers, especially for Clickbank, I think that more people can benefit from their use are those that work mainly with Adsense. The fact that we can easily change, or choose one of the combinations of colors already included, the color of links, titles, navigation links, and background colors, allows an almost perfect optimization of adsense ads.

The placement of Adsense ads in locations that often work best is also greatly facilitated, and replaces the use of a plugin for this purpose.

While searching for more information about Socrates Theme on the Internet, I found some testimonials from people who say they have doubled or tripled earnings from Adsense after installing the theme. In my case I still can not confirm such gains, but I imagine it is easy to obtain significant improvements, for lack of knowledge of coding, and can not optimize the site.

Optimized for SEO

Another aspect is quoted as being positive in the Theme Socrates is the optimization in terms of SEO.

How should understand this is something that can only be confirmed after a few months, and my limited knowledge of SEO and WordPress themes do not allow me to do an analysis on this aspect. Anyway, there are many plugins that do an excellent job of optimizing a blog, so this is not a deciding factor for me, although once again we would save time to set more than one SEO plugin.

You can test the Socrates Theme for free

At this point interested in answering the question whether it is a good investment to buy the Socrates Theme. I think that for those who already have some experience online, or want to start developing your network of sites, the purchase of this theme is a good investment, even if only by the time it saves in the optimization and configuration of each new site.

While you can do some of the settings available in Socrates with some plugins, or by manually changing the encoding of a free theme, the reality is that you can reduce the work that would normally take several hours to a few minutes, the end result is a site with respect very professional.

However, if they are still with some doubts, can download and test the Socrates Theme totally free for 7 days before buying. This is a good option for those who want, for example, try to improve earnings with Adsense.

If you then choose to purchase the theme costs only $ 47, but it is worth buying the license to install an unlimited number of sites for only $ 77.

Have you got Socrates Theme? What do you think of the theme? You will enjoy the free option to test for 7 days?
