New WordPress Themes & Peel Away Ads
- 0 Comments
New WordPress themes and Peel Away Ads is what I’ve labeled this post because that’s what I’ve just finished doing to upgrade this site a bit in an effort to make things more user friendly for visitors. The old theme was a year old and not only was I bored with it but it was also giving some problems in different browser resolutions because it was a ‘fluid width’ theme. Anyone who has a little knowledge in web design may know that a fluid width site means that it automatically adjusts itself to the width of your screen resolution.
So whether you are viewing in 800×600, 1024×768 or whatever else, the site will try to adjust accordingly. Problem with this is that you get very unpredictable results and never really know exactly how your website is looking on other people’s systems. I couldn’t trust that anymore so decided to upgrade my site and chose a money making WordPress theme with a ‘fixed width’ instead which gives me the peace of mind that my site now looks the same for everyone.
I like this new theme, I have modified it a lot as it had a green colour scheme before which I wasn’t keen on and I’m happy with the blue, grey and black. It’s incredible to see just how many WordPress themes are available these days, those of us who use WP are spoilt for choice!!
The other new addition is the ‘Peel Away Ad’ in the top left hand corner of the site. I have heard great things about using this kind of model to help make money through advertising on a website so I thought I would implement it and give it a try. What I really like about this is it sort of grabs the visitors curiosity with the little animated corner gently swaying to attract attention.
When a visitor runs their mouse over the small corner it “peels away” displaying an advert which according to statistics and tests I have been reading offers a very high Click Through Rate (CTR). This is an un-obtrusive method of advertising on a site and much better than annoying pop-ups and other kinds of flash animated advertising models often used.
The potential of making money with this kind of advertising on your website is large in my opinion. You can use the space to advertise various affiliate products and services or offer to rent out the space on a monthly basis to companies that may wish to advertise with you. Personally for the moment I have opted to use it for promoting the excellent affiliate program Affiliate Window. This may change in future but I’m leaving it for now.
