It has been a long time since I released a free wordpress theme, so I decided the time to do it was now. The reason I am releasing this theme for free when I actually paid over $100 for it is because there is a link in the footer that links back to this site. Since wordpress and weblogtools has decided to ban all sponsored themes I have decided I will still release this theme free of charge but will not get it sponsored since all the sponsors are not really interested in sponsoring a theme that will only get downloaded 100 times.
It used to be that you could release a theme and get over 1000 downloads within a week, those days are gone but I still think that through the power of this blog and some other sources I will be able to get some downloads for this theme.
What are some of the benefits of releasing a free theme? Here are your answers:
1) Links: Releasing the themes has led to me getting many links. You can check my inbound links at technorati and see that I have an authority of 422 and a ranking of 8,000. Which I consider very good for a blog that is as new as mine. Also it helps with the page rank which will help when selling text links or getting other advertisers in the mix. I have recieved links from high authority sites and also .edu backlinks!
2) Traffic: Getting a template featured on themes.wordpress.net or any other high traffic site will lead to huge amount of traffic your first few days, and than a steady trickle. I check my stats everyday and everyday I have people coming in either from their own admin panel or people clicking through on the footer link.
3) Branding: It’s a great way to get your name out there!
So without further ado here is a screenshot of the theme:
You can download it by clicking on the screenshot.

I will keep everyone updated with how many downloads and backlinks it gets.

You must have money to burn, if you’re buying WordPress themes, especially with the plethora of free themes out there.

Really ‘nice’ how the link to the theme’s preview opens a background window to a sponsored site.
Now I can see why Matt decided to do away with those themes.
If that wasn’t the intent — then I’d suggest you host the theme’s preview image on THIS site and not a sponsored site.

What you mean where the image is hosted? Because it has ads there? I think thats a bit harsh.

I run a website providing free templates, for religious niche. It works well, indeed. A great deal of links and visibility.
