Free SEO WordPress Themes

Dear Fellow Blogger,

if you ever wanted a theme for your WordPress blog that is easily customizable and also optimized for your blog posts to rank well in the search engines, your search stops here.

We have created 3 basic search engine optimized WordPress themes for you and in case you are (like many bloggers) not technically minded, we have also recorded on-screen videos that show you how you can easily customize the layout styles, the headers and the sidebar templates to make these themes look more unique or match them with an existing website design.

Below you see the screenshots for each theme and the download links - Downloads are available in two archive formats: .zip and .tar - you will need a tool like WinZip (for PC users) or Stuffit Expander (for Mac users) to extract the archives.

If you like, you can see live demos of our SEO themes on our WordPress blog. Simply use the themes switcher in the upper right corner to view our blog in different styles.

  Theme Name: 2C Right SEO  

Description: 2 Columns, with the sidebar being aligned to the right side. Layout is mostly done with CSS, but in order to make the theme more flexible AND "break-proof", the two columns of the main content are inside a simple HTML table.

  Theme Name: 2C Left SEO  

Description: 2 Columns, with the sidebar being aligned to the left side. Layout uses a style trick with HTML tables to move the main content above the sidebar (inside the HTML source code).

  Theme Name: 3C SEO  

Description: The most popular theme with 3 columns (2 sidebars). Search Form and Calendar in the right sidebar and the other categories and links in the left sidebar (can be easily changed, of course). The 2 sidebars of this theme give you much more place for links and advertisements than the 2 column themes.

Installing and Editing WordPress Themes

Once extracted - upload the entire folder of your chosen theme to your server, into the folder wp-content/themes/ of your WordPress install and then you can activate it from within your blog´s admin panel ( » Presentation » Themes ).

You can edit all the template files with WordPress´ built-in theme editor. You will find a lot of comments inside these files, especially inside the stylesheet, the header and the sidebar templates, so it will be easy for you to find the places that you want to edit, provided that you have some basic knowledge in HTML. If not ... well - it´s time to learn HTML today.

The videos that show you exactly how to edit the above search engine optimized themes are included in our WordPress Video Tutorial that you can download for free.

Additionally, you can find a growing number of tips and tutorials for modifying and customizing our SEO themes in our WordPress Themes Customization FAQ area.
