In this post you reference 9 SEO plug-ins for Wordpress that are essential – 9 SEO Plugins Every Wordpress Blog Should Have

In your experience, are these all still good for Thesis, or do you leave some off?

Thanks for your feedback.

IMHO if you have more then 1 blogs, consider buying Thesis Developer license and your life will be easy.

this is indeed a blog over making money from blogging therefore I wouldn’t comment on someone making money from it. Darren is providing the rest of this community with wonderful content that will help us all. In the end of the day money makes the world go round. If you want to be able to continue to read quality content in the feature as well please let the man make some bucks from it! ;-)) By the way the thesis theme is awesome. I’ve designed our theme myself however it’s quite difficult to make changes.

I’d also like to know if people have experience with customizing the theme to their needs.

For those who do no want to invest right away on a theme, try Vigilance. Its a great theme that looks similar to Thesis. The theme is free. But in order to make use of the advanced features you have to join the Vigilance members forum to get help and support (for a fee). But if your have good coding skills you can tweak the theme by yourself.

I just switched my blog to the vigilance theme. I love it!

Carl – not sure what your issue is. This is a blog about making money from blogging…. if you’re not into affiliate links then this probably isn’t the right place for you. Sorry if that offends but it’s what I do and teach – the product is on topic to this blog, of a high quality, something that I use myself…. not quite sure what else to say.

InternetHowBlog – that’s what I’ve used Thesis for – as a stopgap for me while I saved up for a custom job. I think it’s a great option for that.

Dom – not sure what else to add to my comments to Carl. Again – I do use affiliate links here at ProBlogger (over all my posts I’d say they appear in 1 in 20 – if that). While I don’t shout it from the hill tops I don’t hide the links with cloaking links and I actively blog about the topic of affiliate links – it shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone. I personally don’t find it misleading – I choose products to promote that I think are relevant, high quality and that I (or someone I highly respect) uses or recommends. I also try to give a realistic and on hyped up view of products I promote.

Dom, I also find it odd that you have an issue with affiliate marketing considering your own chocolate blog (my mouth watered just reading it) uses affiliate links in quite a few of your posts…. Lastly – I don’t use Thesis because I am paid to do so – I paid for my own copy of it when I started TwiTip – I did so because (as I said in the post above) it fit my needs.

A last general comment – I have to say that I find it a little amusing that any time I write a post with an affiliate link here at ProBlogger that a small minority complain about it. It’s a little bizarre that on a blog about making money from blogs a small number of people seem to take such an issue with the practice. On the flip side on my other blogs I have readers ask me where they can buy products that earn me a commission because they want to support the site! :-) Go figure!

You use Thesis and you write about Thesis because you are paid to do so. Why not just say that?
