What are the best wordpress theme for getting a good page rank
-
There are lots of themes that if you want a big site limited you in the way the it is very difficult to make your site grow.
So the problem is that in the beginning when you select a theme actually you dont know the limitations it has.
I agree with the page ranking but a think that the structure of a complex theme helps to get higher page rank, maybe indirectly has you say... or maybe not
So in this community experience which themes are the ones with best admin page and with more additional features.

Hi,
Discussion becomes hot
In addition to my last response. WP templates (themes) have nothing to Google Page Rank.
Template can have good design, helpful admin page, good additional features, widgets etc... It can be very good for call to action solutions, eye-caching features ..... And the rest is your continuous work.
Page Rank is calculated factor based on link power, number of links, link structure and many more...
For general view of PR you just read an article in wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
Don't think (or dream) about high PR, rather go out to meet the expectations of [your site] visitors and adjust to what your customers want ... and be active

Bruce, you are not disagreeing with me...
I said good design alone will not get many links if it doesn't come with good content.
You are saying you are not linking to good content if it resides on a website with bad design.
Your affirmation doesn't oppose yo mine.And I agree that maybe the term of Page Rank was probably not clear, that's why when I noticed nobody was pointing out crystal clear the fact that PR comes from links I added my comment.
For example I liked a lot Keri Morgret's witty answer, but I felt like it was not totally "newbie friendly".

Sorina - I have to disagree with that.
I very rarely link to a site that looks amateurish - I'm much more inclined to link to a site that has a clean/smart look to it, i.e. a nice theme. So, if I'm the guy offering a link the Theme does matter.
I also think he was using Page Rank as a euphemism for strong SEO.
-
Page Rank has nothing to do with themes. Page Rank is a value calculated based on links only.
Personally I believe you will not get many links because you have a design or another... It's the content that gets you links and eventually PR, not the theme.
-
My own two cents.
I've used a couple ThemeForest Themes but they didn't last long.
Lately I've been quite happy with Solostream.com (I use them on my #1 site - and a couple others).
-
I just want to point out that I have noticed a tendency for many SEO bloggers to use the Genesis theme. Not sure why. Maybe someone else has insight they can share.

Hi,
I think you all right but ... I have tried many WP templates and can say that some of them works better then other in SEO. There is no straight recipe to choose good one, having in mind other than SEO features or design.
CMC-SD wrote about Yoast experience with SP themes ... I also don't trust.
Don't use templates with build-in SEO module, I haven't met even one good. Choose good design, useful features, check code validation (W3C) and test & try and so on...
Large selection of WP templates you can find on Themeforest ... but some of them are good - some not.

Ideally, your Wordpress theme should be lightweight, to keep page load times low. The HTML should be valid according to W3C standards. It should be free from wacky errors like the one Yoast describes here. If you're not a techy, you probably won't be able to check all of this. In that case, you're best off going with a theme that was built by a reputable theme maker. Apparently Yoast was consulted on StudioPress's themes, so that's a good sign. But don't blindly trust anyone who claims their theme is "SEO friendly."
-
The best themes for page rank are the ones that are easy for you to install, so that you can spend your time writing quality content to help your visitors convert and to earn links. There's no magic theme that will tell Google "this site deserves a high PR".

Best less expensive graphic design
Hello, We have an Ecommerce store and we need our category buttons to be redone and to shine. Unfortunately, I've tried all my places and none are 10X, though none of them cost very much (like Fiverr, Freelancer) What I would like is some advice on where to go for inexpensive but still very good quality graphics. I'm a good designer, and so far, I can do better graphics than the designers I've found, I just don't have the time as a busy SEO. Please let me know If you have any gems you are willing to share. I'm searching the community colleges as we speak. Thanks.

Pushstate and Infinite Scrolling Article Pages: Is it detrimental to not change URLs as the page is being scrolled?
I've noticed a recent trend of news sites using infinite scrolling on article pages to garner more pageviews and I can assume serve up more ads. Here is an overview. Here is an article from NBC news that uses this technique: http://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/music/grammys-2016-here-s-why-adele-s-performance-was-out-n519186 Studies have shown that this technique has decreased bounce rates by +15% for some sites. My question is: If a site is using the technique without changing URLs as the user scrolls down what overall negative effects does this have? Obviously you wouldn't be getting credit for the extra pageviews but I was wondering if there were any indexation implications with this. Here is an example of article infinite scrolling without changing the URL: http://www.wftv.com/news/national-content/deputies-wife-attacks-husband-because-he-didnt-get-her-a-valentines-day-gift/87691927

Address On Every page for e-Commerce site?
For a primarily e-commerce site, should you have your address on every page (in the footer, for example)? Or is it enough to just have it on the contact page? Thanks, Ruben

Are these doorway pages or not? Concerned due to Panda 4.0
For a new site we're building, the Products team wants the header (let's call this Product-Header) to have links to every subsection of every section on every page. Since this is a bad idea, I want Product-Header to be coded in such a way that it doesn't appear in the code or the links are nofollow, noindex. I want to instead create static versions of these pages without the Product-Header. The homepage links to the static URL section pages, those main section pages link to static subsection pages, and so on. It's one nice silo. I am concerned though that Google won't like this due to these static pages are being created specifically for search engines. Users could click through to this static parallel site from the homepage, or they could use the dynamic URL site. This is similar to what etsy.com is doing where you can search Google for "mermaid bridal" and get this page https://www.etsy.com/market/mermaid_bridal but the dynamic version of the page does not show up. However you can search on etsy.com for " mermaid bridal" and get https://www.etsy.com/search?q=mermaid bridal&ship_to=US. Could these static versions that show up in search engines be seen as doorway pages? I know ebay.com got spanked for doorway pages and I don't want to do anything that would get this site penalized.

Best Site navigation solution
Hi there, We are getting our website redesigned and would like to know whether to increase the links on our site wide navigation or not. At the moment we have around 30 links from the navigation. We want to use exploding navigation menu and increase the links to our most important categories. Say if we increase to 60-70 would that be alright. (what will be the highest we can go for) At the moment categories that get links from navigation are ranking pretty good. If we increase would we loose those rankings. What will be the pros and cons of increasing navigation links? Second question we are also adding fooer links to top 10 categories in the footer. Would this be ok as far as seo and google concerned. Many Thanks
