Many theme designers claim to have themes that will increase your search engine traffic. Some even claim that they will increase your search engine traffic by 455% in one month. Of course, all of this is just clever marketing, not to mention Digg bait, to try and get you to part with hard earned cash and buy one of their magic themes.

But now there is a way to get guaranteed, significant increases in traffic and Google page rank just by downloading and using a free WordPress theme.

Voluptua, my latest theme is, albeit just to me, something that is more than just a minimalist design with large typography. I like large typography. And I enjoy reading blogs that allow me to sit back in my chair without having to lean into the screen to read teeny tiny fonts.

To put it bluntly, I want Voluptua to be used on as many blogs as possible because I want the web to be a more readable place.

And to achieve that goal I need to persuade as many people as possible to use Voluptua on their blogs.

The solution is to give something valuable to everyone who uses Voluptua.

I have a lot of traffic, good quality traffic that gives me a good quality income, and a Google page rank of seven. That traffic and that page rank are both very valuable.

Here’s the deal. Anyone who uses Voluptua on their blog will get a link back to their blog here on Upstart Blogger. You use my Voluptua theme and I will link to you with a fully enabled PR7 link.

There’s no catch. All I ask is that you keep the footer links back to Upstart Blogger and the Voluptua theme intact. Everyone who uses Voluptua will get a link, a boost in traffic and an increase in authority in the eyes of Google.

And, as if that’s not enough, to get the ball rolling, I will pick a handful of particularly attractive, interesting or well written Voluptua powered blogs at the end of February and review them all in a Voluptua showcase.

Download Voluptua and, once you are up and running, leave a comment below. I’ll check your blog and add you to the list.

    http://www.robblatt.com has switched over from Stripped, another UB theme. If anything makes a bigger statement than that theme, it’s this one.

    So really it’s the only WordPress theme creator to guarantee you increased traffic and pr rank, not really the theme itself. Nevertheless, pretty commendable thing to do.

    Hey Ashley,
    I’ve just switched my blog over to a Modified version of Voluptua.
    Check it out here: algorythmusic.com

    I’m still working out a few kinks here and there but I managed to adapt the SoundManager 2 API to the Voluptua theme.

    As usual, GREAT WORK!!!

    I am a graphic designer who is also a big professional wrestling fan, so my blog is a source for opinions and commentary on pro-wrestling called The Sharpshooter.

    I think some themes have a big influence in regards to SEO, nothing to do with pagerank or the like as that comes from your inbound links but themes and settings contained in WP can drastically resolve issued with duplicate content, meta tags, headers etc therefor influencing your seo and traffic.

    Interesting blog by the way and I have hit the subscribe button.

    Hello,

    A quick question to the thread author. Can the Voluptua theme be used on natively hosted WordPress blogs, or only on remotely hosted (WordPress.org) blogs?

    Thank you, Stewart Engelman

  15. Hello added these pithy words on 22 Aug 09

    Hey there,

    We used Voluptua by Upstart Blogger as inspiration for our color ebook reader site running on WordPress: http://www.colorebookreaders.com. A fantastic theme for getting the message across!
