What does the amount of visitors have to do with the theme being unique?

Okay we'll have some analysis on this one. Ash's blog is in technology niche. So i ask you to take a look at top 500 tech blogs and tell me if the designed theme is common among all the blogs or atleast 10-20 of them. Plus if they are bringing visitors participation or purchase to the site then designs like this one helps or breaks ?Techies do pay attention to design and rarely accept sites with free wordpress theme design. i say rare. i don't know if there is any free theme blog is topping top 500 range. Human visitors who actively participate on website pay attention to design, content, etc.

Otherwise you can have some content-video, download item etc with simple html page and can have 1 milion visitors. Plus there are some static websites which don't accept participation on main content do generate more than 1 million visits a day. But when it comes to participation or dynamic content sites then design and SEO plays a huge role. It's not just information.

I'm not fan of upselling and scarcity. But with such URL and design if anyone set out to claim that they fetch 3k visitors with such content, widgets then that is pure dishonesty. I'm not saying lie because we are in gray area when it comes to web.

Okay. Here let me review again. Theme is not unique considering you are claiming 3000 visitors daily. Twitter widget never helps build visitors in fact it takes that away from you. You should remove the widget instead just put your twitter id image link on site. You want your visitors to go to twitter instead ? think about it.

You didn't edited the URL's as well. still i see the "/p=97?" type of URLs. You should take a look at that again. Chane it to "/month/postname". If that suits you. I think month wise sorting is good that year+month on url. Hope this helps.

The theme is unique I have been researching around 'if you will' and have not seen ANY tech blogs use a theme like this they just seem to use a boring plain white theme.

The URL's are having a problem changing, When I get the time I am going to install a plugin to update all the posts to the new URL ending. This has been added onto my 'todo' list.

Again onto the theme if you think it is a little 'offputting' then please suggest a fresh new one for us to try out for a week or two to see how it goes.

Now you are saying it is dishonesty?!?!

Stats Explained, As you can see at the start not even getting 100 however after buying some adwords that go us kicked up in the ranks! Now most recently you can see there isn't many, this was because of the maintenance and no users where logged on that day apart from 3 hours before it went online.

URL's can be changed with settings tab in wordpress. You need to update .htaccess after this.

Ah so you are going to show me "page views for visitor count ? single visitor can browse through 100s of same site which takes it to count of page impressions aka page views. Honesty ya know. Adwords has nothing to do with ranks in SE. It only buys the PAID traffic of which surge dies when you run out of funds.

Yes I have tried this and even a plugin however I am getting 404 errors which is really annoying the hell out of me!
I had adwords for about 3 days and we are still getting 3,000 views...

Edit:-

URLS are now working under "%postname%" which is apparently good for the search engines.

Hi,

I have checked out your website and seem to direct me to something about Prophet Muhammad! lol. It looks like it was hacked.

Is that your website now?

To verify about the number of pageviews...please consider using Google analytics. I've used ol all my sites and its an amazing piece of software mate.

If you're going to run a site with loads of user submitted content..then consider having a strong security mechanism and support team. otherwise you'll lose the support of even your most dedicated of readers.

Yes the server has been hacked and therefore all sites on the server have been deleted and placed with that. I am going to install Google Analytics when it is up and running again. This hack is not good for our traffic :/
