What are the best wordpress theme for getting a good page rank

[maestrosonrisas]

There are lots of themes that if you want a big site limited you in the way the it is very difficult to make your site grow.

So the problem is that in the beginning when you select a theme actually you dont know the limitations it has.

I agree with the page ranking but a think that the structure of a complex theme helps to get higher page rank, maybe indirectly has you say... or maybe not

So in this community experience which themes are the ones with best admin page and with more additional features.

Hi,

Discussion becomes hot

In addition to my last response. WP templates (themes) have nothing to Google Page Rank.

Template can have good design, helpful admin page, good additional features, widgets etc... It can be very good for call to action solutions, eye-caching features ..... And the rest is your continuous work.

Page Rank is calculated factor based on link power, number of links, link structure and many more...

For general view of PR you just read an article in wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank

Don't think (or dream) about high PR, rather go out to meet the expectations of [your site] visitors and adjust to what your customers want ... and be active

Bruce, you are not disagreeing with me...
I said good design alone will not get many links if it doesn't come with good content.
You are saying you are not linking to good content if it resides on a website with bad design. 
Your affirmation doesn't oppose yo mine.

And I agree that maybe the term of Page Rank was probably not clear, that's why when I noticed nobody was pointing out crystal clear the fact that PR comes from links I added my comment.

For example I liked a lot Keri Morgret's witty answer, but I felt like it was not totally "newbie friendly".

Sorina - I have to disagree with that.

I very rarely link to a site that looks amateurish - I'm much more inclined to link to a site that has a clean/smart look to it, i.e. a nice theme. So, if I'm the guy offering a link the Theme does matter.

I also think he was using Page Rank as a euphemism for strong SEO.

[SorinaDascalu]

Page Rank has nothing to do with themes. Page Rank is a value calculated based on links only.

Personally I believe you will not get many links because you have a design or another... It's the content that gets you links and eventually PR, not the theme.

[TheHockeyWriters]

My own two cents.

I've used a couple ThemeForest Themes but they didn't last long.

Lately I've been quite happy with Solostream.com (I use them on my #1 site - and a couple others).

I just want to point out that I have noticed a tendency for many SEO bloggers to use the Genesis theme. Not sure why. Maybe someone else has insight they can share.

Hi,

I think you all right but ... I have tried many WP templates and can say that some of them works better then other in SEO. There is no straight recipe to choose good one, having in mind other than SEO features or design.

CMC-SD wrote about Yoast experience with SP themes ... I also don't trust.

Don't use templates with build-in SEO module, I haven't met even one good. Choose good design, useful features, check code validation (W3C) and test & try and so on...

Large selection of WP templates you can find on Themeforest ... but some of them are good - some not.

Ideally, your Wordpress theme should be lightweight, to keep page load times low. The HTML should be valid according to W3C standards. It should be free from wacky errors like the one Yoast describes here. If you're not a techy, you probably won't be able to check all of this. In that case, you're best off going with a theme that was built by a reputable theme maker. Apparently Yoast was consulted on StudioPress's themes, so that's a good sign. But don't blindly trust anyone who claims their theme is "SEO friendly."

[KeriMorgret]

The best themes for page rank are the ones that are easy for you to install, so that you can spend your time writing quality content to help your visitors convert and to earn links. There's no magic theme that will tell Google "this site deserves a high PR".
