Hi,

Works GREAT for me.

The key is to try to buy themes in your nitch. Out guess the people that are going to use the theme.

Because people use lots of Free Wordpress templates it's like you get promotion of your site for the first amount you pay. It's like easy advertisement and easy back link building. But make sure you buy link on appropriate and good designed WP themes.

People often post on forums that "Sponsor xxx theme", go and sponsor them.

Nope, it is like they will write your website name as "Sponsored By YourDomain.com"

It doesn't matter much IMO. Because you can get links from any site.

The links are usually placed on the footer of the templates. Take a look at this free template I used (http://decentweblinks.wordpress.com). On the footer it says "Albeo theme by Design Disease". If you sponsor any template your link will be on footer.

And also some coders code the link in a way that no one can "Remove or Edit" them. They are not placed only for bots, they are visible to everyone.

Theme Sponsorship is where the person who made the theme will put your link in the footer of the theme, so anybody who installs it will show your link as a Sponsored by: Yourname.com

As Jani mentions that coders can hardcode the link into the template, but usually they use a simple a href in the footer.php file as no matter what they do to protect the link, it can be removed, even if it is encrypted or stored as an external file, it can be removed.

This method of advertising can be very successful, but make sure you do some research, you don't want to spend too much on one theme if it will not benefit, make sure you know what kind of stats the author's site gets, will give you some idea to the degree of success you will receive.

Sponsoring WP themes could get you lots of backlinks most specially if the site that used your themes have tones of pages

Now I understand why an advertiser pay me for a good money to buy my footer link. Before read this thread I don't understand how importance the footer link.
