Comment (by samuelsidler):

 Overall, traffic is considerably down on the commercial themes page.

 Just to keep a record of the changes on this page:
 1. On the morning (EST) of March 4, we switched the "Upload Your Theme"
 and "Commercial" links.
 2. This morning (EDT), we changed "Commercial" to "Commercial Themes"

 The former change resulted in ~30% increase in traffic to the commercial
 themes page (comparing week to week; but still preliminary data). We don't
 yet have data on the latter change yet.

 Also note that overall "exit" traffic to the page has increased by ~2%
 since the switch to the new theme directory. This indicates that, when
 people get there, they are more likely to click through to a theme page.

 However, given that traffic is down considerably, the increase from
 switching links and the increase in "exit" traffic is likely not
 noticeable to commercial theme shops.
