Free WordPress Themes vs Premium Themes

The beauty of WordPress is that it’s free and that there’s no shortage of great looking freebie WP themes to choose from. Thousands in fact. Often far too many and this can make the choice of which theme to use more difficult than you want it to be.

From an affiliate marketing perspective, many people put site look and design as a lower priority aspect of their strategy. But now, more than ever, the way your site looks should be a top priority.

Many many affiliate marketing, Adsense and other “make money online” courses and guides tell you that design doesn’t matter. They suggest using very basic themes or layouts and advise that an ‘ugly’ website will do just as well as a beautiful one. But is it true anymore?
