<br></div>This is how it works :<br><br></div>I make a theme, name it "Premium Photography" get it into directory, I get a url <a href="http://www.wordpress.org/themes/premium-photography" target="_blank">www.wordpress.org/themes/premium-photography</a> and my credit link will be <a href="<a href="http://www.wordpress.org/themes/premium-photography" target="_blank">http://www.wordpress.org/themes/premium-photography</a>">Premium Photography Theme</a><br>
<br></div>I get downloads from directory which will get me link juice, combining the link juice and <a href="http://wordpress.org" target="_blank">wordpress.org</a> domain authority I am already in the top 3-7 ranks on google, give it some time to get more downloads and build links and I am in top 1-3 and I now have a steady monthly pay check with no effort.<br>
<br></div>All you need is a half decent theme and a nice keyword, now if I get lucky and it gets featured, I can buy a nice car or a house.<br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Well, if you think so, then go for it. Best of luck. However, being that I have the actual download and usage stats, let's just say that I have my doubts. :)<br><div class="gmail_extra">
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Names don't matter that much. Your Google-fu is not as strong as you believe it to be. WordPress.org is indeed a major player, but we're not the only game in town, and the truth is that people look for themes based on screenshots and functionality. Names may get you a Google search result, but they don't get a download or usage, and the fact of the matter is that people aren't stupid.</div>
