I was on UniqueBlogDesigns.com last week and came across the UBD Money Theme. I’m a fan of UBD’s designs and snagged the theme after realizing it was free. I loaded it up, played around with it for a bit and meant to write a post about it last week, but ran out of time and didn’t think about it again until today.
For those of you who haven’t heard of this theme yet, you need to jump over to UniqueBlogDesigns.com and snag a copy. It will only “cost” you your email address and it’s well worth it. One note about giving your email address to UBD. So far I have never received spam or unwanted communication from UBD. They have respected my privacy and don’t fill my box with crap. Which is more than I can say for a lot of people in the Internet Marketing business.
Back to the theme. If you’re wondering what’s so great about it, check out some of these features I snagged from UBD’s site:
- Powerful control panel: We make it SUPER easy for the newbie and advanced blogger to get their Money Theme setup in as little time as possible. Not only that, but you get powerful customization options at your fingertips.
- Upload your logo with one-click: Forget the days of uploading your logo via FTP. Now, upload your logo straight to your site with just one-click.
- Affiliate-style homepage design: Works great for blogs and affiliate marketing style landing pages! Display your featured products and/or recent blog posts.
- Feedburner integration: Track your RSS subscribers and allow your visitors to subscribe via email to your blog.
- Built-in Twitter widget: Display your recent Tweets, and encourage your visitors to follow you.
- Built-in Flickr widget: Display your recent Flickr photos with just a few clicks.
- Advanced SEO controls: Built-in SEO controls allow you to edit your fine tune the SEO of your site.
- Facebook Connect integration (for the comments): Allow your readers to leave a comment simply by connecting to their Facebook accounts. We provide full configuration instructions.
- Optional custom header title bar: Set custom text above the header (see silver title bar example on this page).
- Advertising management: Manage your 300×250 and 468×60 ad codes directly within the Control Panel.
- Optional squeeze page template: Increase your email opt-in conversion!
- Available no-sidebar page template: A no-sidebar page layout can be useful for a forum and many other types of pages.
After messing around with the template a bit, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a great fit for affiliate offer, money site and squeeze pages. I plugged it into one of my blogs with content (that’s designed to display more like a blog) and it didn’t work great. However approaching an affiliate offer site/page using this theme makes sense. The theme is lean, easy to customize and already has some of the best converting spots on most sites under control in it’s Ad Manager section of the control panel.
Jump over and grab this theme today. Even if you don’t put it to use right away, it will come in handy when you go to throw up an affiliate site or a quick money page. You can grab it here: UBD Money Theme.

I do not need the platform now but I too can vouch for UBD not misusing email address given to them.

I am using this theme on another blog I own besides Tycoon Blogger. I like it but the problem is it seems live everyone has it these days.

I've always loved the themes that the UBD guys have done, I still use their old money theme on my personal blog, soon I will give their new money theme a try, it's going to be hard though to switch considering I am already in love their their old money theme, hehe.
Till then,

My son told me to check out your blog and I must say I’m impressed, very helpful.

To be honest, it is not so bad, sometimes I want to change a powerful theme, but the most time I'd like to use a beautiful and simple theme. If it could be downloaded for free, maybe I will try it

Free themes are great. even if you won't use it in the whole, you might get something out of some single parts. And that can be just as useful.

I really like this theme, but not the colors :/ think I'll play around in photoshop and see what the result might be:)
July 25th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Seen this on quite a few other sites, overall it is a pretty solid all round good theme

Nice Article !! To create a wordpress theme, start by downloading all wordpress files to your computer. Then, go to the folder "wp-content" and click on the folder "themes". There, you will find all of the files that you need to change for a custom look.

After further looking at this theme, I personally like the theme but still think it needs some tweaking, it is not as aesthetically pleasing as I would like.

Really the wordpress theme that showed on above post is very nice and has everything related to making money through it. Like you can put multiple advertisements and also all the top social media widgets there..

Recently, there has been a good deal of litigation by the
American FTC against bloggers and website owners
for not revealing their advertising profits, or existing
connections with advertising agencies.
What are your thoughts about how this could effect
the blog world?

Yes UBD Money Theme sounds promising. Actually your post is also very informative. I specially like the Advertisement Management facility of UBD. Hope it works out for me.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing, the options with this money theme are very good, i will watch it and see if i can download it for my blog.

Nice theme, but do they allow free download for trial, so I can mess around with it for a couple days before going into buying. Its reasonably prices, I just need to know how good is it before suggesting for my client who are not so high tech or computer savvy.

Great Post! I am so glad I stumbled onto this. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for Sharing. I’ll definately visit again!

WordPress has a lot of good theme, but this one is very helpful.
Thanks!
